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.

Changed in ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu):
status: New → Invalid

Hi,
i've followed the Descrition at "https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa".
But the Issue still exists.
And the Update doesn't tell me what PPA is not compatible.
