IF all the packages had downloaded before it froze and IF you had not done the "sudo apt-get clean" ,,, I may have had some suggestions ,,,,,,,,,BUT ,,,,,,,,,,all I see now is a reinstall.
the "clean" removed all the downloaded packages ,,,so thay can not be installed/unpacked/configured now

I will suggest an idea for the freeze ,,,,,,,,, this was a lot of packages to download and unpack if you ran out of space in / it would freeze .
before doing any release upgrades you should make sure you have a few Gigs of space free .

NOW some one elce may be able to tell you how to make dpkg forget it already did the "do-release-upgrade" ,,,,,,,,so you can rerun it ,,,,but I dont know.

With an interrupted package install/upgrade scenario, these are the steps to help fix things:
sudo dpkg --configure -a to finish the interrupted package installs and configurations
followed by
sudo apt-get update to refresh package lists
Then sudo apt-get -f install to make sure nothing is missing
followed by the normal sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Any errors shown should help point to any fixes needed

Just for fun, you can get a prettier terminal output now in 14.10 using
sudo apt update
and
sudo apt full-upgrade

Thanks for all the replies. I figured it out. it was one of the services. Specifically pwrstatd which i temporarily moved and all went well. I still get this every so often now that i have moved that service back after the upgrade. insserv: warning: script 'pwrstatd' missing LSB tags and overrides but things work. until I stupidly decided to upgrade to KDE5 as a friend whom has Arch Upgraded and said he has no major issues and loves it over KDE4. Well despite possible Kubuntu specific bug reports, I did the kde Next thing to epic fail. Basically with Lighdm I just got a cursor and no background. Seams to be a Kubuntu bug? So I reverted back, and deleted all the kde 5.0 and plasma 5.1 stuff and reinstalled Kubuntu desktop and kubuntu desktop full, Had to reinstall some apps like system settings manually, and had to backup and redo my kwin RC but i am back in KDE4. I guess I'll just have to wait until Kubuntu says KDE5/Plasma5 is more stable enough that whatever bug i experienced won't happen. My friend on Arch is bummed for me. He says KDE4 is better than anything else so you are ok for now but KDE5 is better than 4. Yes he thinks it probably will not be stable till 5.2 at least in the plasma front and 5.1 or 2 in the KDE front based on KDE history, but who knows. I do wish it would work. oh well.

Again thanks for everyone that replied.

Any help or suggestions on when you think i could try the KDE5 again? Or even skip the tech preview and wait till which i assume will be 15.04 Vervet when KD% becomes main stream that 4 will not be offered? Thanks again.

Hello,

i think i got the same error like you, but without upgrading to kde 5. Could you tell me a little bit more detailed what you have done to fix the problem

?

Could you tell what you meant with moving pwrstatd, because i can't find it.

thx

Which error? You are referring to the loading of just the background with a cursor after lightdm loads? Mine was related to KD5 specific. downgrading back to KED4 deleting all KDE next repos and what installed with it, KDE5 and Plasma 5 stuff, reinstalling my Nvidia drivers and redoing my KiwnRC file by backing it up and letting it regenerate fix my issue. I never had that issue in KDE4. If you are referring to a different issue I posted about, let me know and i will answer with a more depth detailed description of what i did.
