Assuming you're on 13.10 you can press ctrlaltF1 and run it from command line.

sudo apt-get install update-manager-core (this may already be there)
sudo do-release-upgrade

After you manage to open a command line as per Musher instruction, you can try the following commands to fix your broken upgrade to 14.04

In a command line run:

lsb_release -a

That will let you know what version you have installed. If in doubt, you can always fix an incomplete upgrade with:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If while that is running you get errors, then you can run:

sudo apt-get install -f

then repeat

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get upgrade

That should fix any broken version 13 packages that did not upgrade properly to 14.04
