Thanks for the tip. Yeah it looks like it :-/

Seriously, if the devs cant create an upgrade GUI that gives some visual
feedback about what is going on, they should reconsider their line of
work. I would suggest agriculture... or arts.... fields where "nothing
happened for hours" can be actually desirable or intended...

I remember that I said this as part of a post on another subject on the rpmfusion-users list in August. That was f17 > f18:

No problem with the upgrade, starting from a fully updated system with all relevant repos enabled.  Really very impressive, but the screen display after the reboot into it was useless;  only a static blue bar while intense disk activity went on for around 90 minutes.  Hitting 'escape' brought up the rolling upgrade log, but I only realised I could do that after a long time watching nothing change and wondering about infinite loops.
