What was the output of the various commands after the changes? In particular:
>>> dpkg --get-selections | grep libpam-smbpass

And

>>>>>>> sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-3.13.0


Did you try option 1 or option 2 or both?

> after reading the links I see you were dealing with the memory leak issue, and I don't recall if that message stopped presenting after reboots or not, I wasn't looking for that. I have since deleted and re-cloned the functional 12.04 in the place of the failed upgrade.

We needed to work out what was the problem before wiping it.

> Is there any modification we should try on this clone before another upgrade attempt?

To be honest I was keen to see the output of:
>>>>>>> sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-3.13.0


If that still wasn't working, try:

sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-image-3.13.0

At this stage I can see no reason why we can't get this working, we just need to work out what is tripping it up. Don't let getting dumped to the command line worry you, we should be able to recover from there.

I will go back to your first error report and see what I can suggest.

> In another direction, Mythbuntu, the other OS on the dual boot 250GB drive can't connect to the database after restoring a 12.04 mythconverge backup. I've looked in several "xml.conf" files

config.xml

Try these locations:
/etc/mythtv/config.xml
~/.mythtv/config.xml
