Safe to restart after hanging update to 18.04 desktop?

Tried to upgrade from 17.10 to 18.04, two hours in, the thing seems to be frozen, and from the desktop I can't get a response from anything I click on e.g. no application will open.
If I do Ctrl+Alt+F4 I can get a terminal (full screen) to login as my user. The terminal shows text Ubuntu 18.04 LTS [MY-USER] tty4
After logging in I see a welcome set of text:
Welcome to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS....
...
...
*** System restart required ***...
...
When I try via reboot I get a warning to say that Operation inhibited by "UpdateManager" PID 11087...reason is "Updating System"
So...should I force the reboot or is there a way to see what updatemanager is doing/its status?

You could runtopto check if the upgrade is still on. If not, foce-reboot, and you might need to runsudo dpkg --configure -ato complete the upgrade.

There appears to be nothing using CPU. But I'm not that "expert" withtopso anything specific I should look for?

Sould be high cpu activity at the top of the list of processes. If the CPU is quiet, just reboot. Package installation should be resource intensive.

Headline is: all when well, so good advise. I had to do a few restarts as it got into a loop on the first attempt at restarting but eventually I made it to the desktop. I then did thesudo dpkg --configure -aand asudo apt --fix-brokenand eventually the warning about a failed install went away and I have a working 18.04 LTS installed. If you make your comment an answer I can accept it.
