I'm using Kubuntu 14.04. I lost my desktop and got error unable to launch "/usr/bin/startkde" X sesssion - "/usr/bin/startkde" not found; falling back to default session
. I found a possible fix in a post and I followed the instruction by entering the terminal using Ctrl+Alt+F1
:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
The last command results unmet dependencies problem and I got stuck.
[UPDATE]
The result of apt-cache policy kubuntu-desktop kde-workspace plasma-desktop plasma-netbook
looks like
I encountered the similar problem before that I could successfully install the desktop, but I think this case is little different from it.

The plausible fix is to reinstalling
kubuntu-desktop

?
