Public bug reported: My Ubuntu was not fully working before I started the upgrade. I could not actually access my desktop - when I logged in I either got a black screen, an empty desktop, a desktop with icons (no dash), or no desktop (hang on login screen). I attempted the upgrade to fix it, but it failed.
