I'm trying, from the command line, as root:
# do-release-upgrade

Just a followup note:
When I ran, as root, from the command line:
# do-release-upgrade
it asked a few questions, like whether I wanted to create new configuration files (I said "Yes" to that and the other questions).
But it got me a working upgrade with less fuss than I was expecting.
It might be nice for someone to document "Here are the questions you'll be asked, and here are the answers," but as a workaround for the broken graphical upgrade, the command line upgrade is reasonable.

I guess I'm too much of a noob ... tell me how you got to the root command prompt (from Grub menu?)... using sudo in / I get:

I am getting the same error messages. I have tried sudo apt-get update as me and as root. They all come back as error with gpg issues. Why it is not updating the gpg file.
Looks something like this...

Can you connect to the internet via Firefox, etc. ?
If so, then try changing to a different Ubuntu server in software sources.

Here is my solution:
gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys 106A92EF1E5F9737
gpg --armor --export 106A92EF1E5F9737 | apt-key add -
apt-get update
Substitute each line where NO_PUBKEY exists with the appropriate key not found.
