[Bug 1313165] Re: removal blacklist matches update-manager-kde which is not critical anymore

[Gert van de Pol]

Francois,  I am not a "techie" but  I'll try to describe the procedure:

from the desktop you will have to start a terminal-session.
Start Applications menu -> Accessories -> Terminal.  Or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Alt + T 

then from the command-prompt type:

sudo apt-get remove update-manager-kde <ENTER>

type in your password when asked

When finished removing kde return to the desktop and start the scan for
updates again.  When the scanning is finished you'll see a big button
for the availability of the 14.04 version. Click it and follow the
procedure.  In my case this process was halted before because of the
kde-manager being installed.  After kde was removed the upgrade worked
fine. The upgrade-process might take some hours.
