The Distribution Upgrade window froze, I got a lot of errors.

Errors were encountered while processing: php5-cli libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mysql php5-snmp php5-curl php5-gd php5 gallery2 samba-common smbfs smbclient kubuntu-desktop libphp-adodb smb4k cacti phpmyadmin

Kubuntu-desktop appears to not have installed correctly.

I am still logged in, it never got as far as the restart step, it may still be working for all I know, but I know that the window has frozen and has been for 30 mins. It had just entered the clean up step. Is there anything I can do?

Luckily I have two Hard drives, so I have backed up the package selection, my music, my downloads, my videos.

I am facing the probability that I will have to do a fresh install. Bit of a bummer. What can I back up now to make it easier?

(Is it possible to back up my amarok listening data, like the number of times I have played a track?)

Hate to bump, but even though the updater crashed, Hardy is still running and works 100%

I can't help but feel extremely lucky!
