Ubuntu :: After Upgradeing From 9.04 To Karmik 9.10 All Get Is A Shall Prompt?

I should mention that I'm quite a newbie, and that being terse haven't ever been in the list of my virtues. Still, I did so many things today, that this post couldn't possibly be shorter then it is. Yesterday I finally upgraded my Kubuntu from 9.04 to 9.10 in adept. During upgrade I accepted everything that was offered including (one)new configuration file for I don't know what. After reboot I still had grub1, after trying regular boot system froze with error message that usplash process doesn't exist or so; briefly, only recovery mode worked properly. I think I entered clean option accidentally, if not, I haven't done anything special, yet after n-th reboot usplash problem disappeared, but I had another freezing screen, with something like:

[Code]...

I tried this twice then I tried one more thing I (think I)saw in the next few lines that are not displayed here apt-get -f upgrade. It ended up with recovery mode not working properly(only resume was possible), and regular boot ending in shell prompt. When I commanded startx from root kde started my last session(with some error messages immediately covered with firefox). Mouse and keyboard were dead! Hard reset, logging to my home and startx led me to karmik kde login menager, and again that was dead end, because keyboard and mouse were dead!
