Hey,
I'm trying to install the upgrade through the update manager, however, when I get to "Setting New Software Channels" I get the following error:

Could not calculate the upgrade

An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.

This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu

If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bugreport.

This is from /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log:

Had same error.. Found workaround in bugreport 277389 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-kde4-meta/+bug/277389)


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
