I have installed ubutu 14.04 beta which automatically reverted to 13.10 about two months ago.
My ditribution is 13.10.
Every time I run the upgrade to 14.04 it fails on the second step of the 14.04 upgrade
I tried to upgrade using the upgrade manager and the command do-release-upgrade

The following error shows up:

Could not calculate the upgrade
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.

Along withe following message:
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 using the
command 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core' in a terminal.

Help, SOS

Reviewing the files from your upgrade attempt you seem to have enabled a PPA that provides Xorg packages. This will prevent the upgrade as that PPA contains different versions of packages essential to Ubuntu. The page, https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa, contains details on to how to revert to the official Xorg packages for the xorg-edgers PPA. Instructions for reverting to official Xorg packages should be similar for the PPA that you have enabled.
