I accidentally cancelled the dist-upgrade of my 16.04 Ubuntu Server.
The server will now not boot into normal Ubuntu but instead into (I think) recovery mode. As the server is hosted I can't really confirm that.



Now to my question: Is it somehow possible to get out of the recovery remotely or continue the cancelled upgrade?



My hoster offers a recovery debian image in RAM if that can be used in any way.



Thanks for your help!

          You can try boot in recovery mode, mounting your system root partition in a directory and run bash chroot on that directory. From there, you can inspect and try to correct your system state.
