Remote ubuntu (Mint) becomes unreachable after running upgrade to oneiric

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 878 / 1 Year ago, tue, may 16, 2023, 2:13:48

Got this message when I logged in and decided to upgrade. I am a noob. So anyways, I ran the command and next thing I know, I can no longer log into it after the reboot. What the heck happened?

I get ssh: connect to host xxx.xxx.xxxx port 22: Network is unreachable

New release 'oneiric' available. Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade
to it.

Remote ubuntu (Mint) becomes unreachable

Linux Mint is actually a derivative of Ubuntu; I don't think it allows you to do a do-release-upgrade the way Ubuntu does. So it's quite possible the upgrade to "Ubuntu" from "Mint" messed something up which.... (see below)

ssh: connect to host xxx.xxx.xxxx port 22: Network is unreachable

...left the remote computer unable to connect to the internet (which is exactly what this error means). Since it's not connected, the only way to troubleshoot this is if you (or someone else) can somehow access the Mint computer locally. Is there a way to do so?
