For the Ubuntu Studio Gutsy -> Hardy upgrade failure, I just had to do:
    apt-get remove audacious-plugins-extras
And then retry the upgrade through the DVD. Worked flawlessly after removing
the package.

For the 'can't load human theme' problem, I solved it by choosing the login
screen via gdmsetup:
   sudo gdmsetup
This will bring up the GDM Setup screen, where you can choose the Ubuntu
Studio Login. Look at the post by Yuki at
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=473971&highlight=human.xml. Though
it is for Fiesty, the basic reason behind the issue and the fix for it is
the same.
