This is a bit vague, so a better explanation would be good. What
exactly do you mean "gui stopped"? Did that happen during the

message show up after login?

That means your packages are in a state that dpkg assumes to be
consistent. However, since you upgraded recently, and apparently
still have access to your shell, could you tell us what the
contents of /etc/apt/sources.list is?
