I followed the instruction on
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades
(Kubuntu RC)

Anyway, so the updater crashed and wouldn't start again, i rebooted and
KDE didn't start, and ran apt-get dist-upgrade (after dpkd --configure
-a) and about a minute later it started KDM, and kdm is working now,
while apt-get is still running in the background (TTY1).

This is fun!
