Hi,
I attempted an upgrade from precise to saucy, by adding urls to sources.list and doing update/upgrade/dist-upgrade.
To sources.list I added:
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu saucy-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu saucy partner
deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu saucy main
I got a strange error message, telling me the system was broken and that I should type:
sudo gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache
I typed it. It returned. Then I did update/upgrade again. Upgrade told me several packages had not installed properly, and apparently it installed them. I did update/upgrade again and this time it told me everything was up-to-date.
Then I typed "startx" and it worked. It had previously failed and I was stuck with the terminal. But now I don't dare reboot the computer...
The output of "gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders" is:
