[Bug 1242495] Re: Cannot upgrade to 13.10 through software updater. Also tried to create a boot disc with both DVD and USB however got an unfamiliar command prompt on boot.

[Brian Murray]

Reviewing the files from your upgrade attempt you seem to have enabled
the xorg-edgers-ppa.  This will prevent the upgrade as that PPA contains
different versions of packages essential to Ubuntu.  The page,
https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa, contains details on to
how to revert to the official Xorg packages.

** Changed in: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

** Tags added: ppa xorg-edgers-ppa
