I'm not sure if this all will work and / or if it will help, but it may
be worth trying.
>From a previous mail I remember that your installation of the KDE
version from the backports-repo failed because at least one package had
a conflict. Therefore I suppose that some other packages are not
installed and therefore you can't reach the X server. First I would try
the command
sudo dpkg --configure -a
and then you might uninstall the old KDE package which gave the conflict
with the new KDE package:
sudo dpkg -r kde-workspace-data
and if it wants to uninstall other packages, remove them also if they
are from the old KDE version.
Then try to continue the installation with the command
sudo apt-get install -f
or maybe try
sudo dpkg --configure -a
again if that didn't work.

I think, the proper step for the latest KDE version on Kubuntu would be
to use 13.10 instead of 12.04. (SCNR).
