Instead of using the GUI, you can use sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
. I recommend that you use the US sources or Main server sources in your software settings.
You can open a terminal by pressing CTRL+ALT+T on your keyboard.
I am unable to upgrade my Kubuntu desktop. But I discovered that there is a log file in /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log which gives more information on what the problem was. In my case, it says "
2015-04-20 16:53:19,408 DEBUG blacklist expr '^postgresql-.*[0-9]\.[0-9].*' matches 'postgresql-9.3-postgis-2.1'
2015-04-20 16:53:19,408 DEBUG The package 'postgresql-9.3-postgis-2.1' is marked for removal but it's in the removal blacklist
2015-04-20 16:53:19,440 ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'The package 'postgresql-9.3-postgis-2.1' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist.'
2015-04-20 16:53:19,445 DEBUG abort called
Which means the problem is that postGIS is interfering with the way PostgreSQL never removes the old version and just installs the new one in parallel. The OP probably has a different problem, but that log file might be useful to discover what the problem is.
