    Power outage in the middle of upgrade

    My computer lost power in the middle of the upgrade to 8.04 from 7.10 (Kubuntu) and everything says I'm still on 7.10, but some of the packages have been upgraded. What is the proper way to get my system to 8.04 from this point?

    Let's check your apt-get first. Do:
    sudo dpkg --configure -a
    sudo apt-get -f install
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get upgrade
