SOLVED

The upgrade still not working through gui either. Thanks for any new ideas.
I purge removed megasync and the ubuntu upgrade started like a charm now, thank you so much @user535733 and quiverc.

The command apt dist-upgrade will not upgrade your kinetic or 22.10 system to lunar or 23.04; the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LunarUpgrades tells you how to perform that upgrade; but you've made it more complex as kinetic is EOL & the main archive is moved, and mirrors are free to drop support after EOL (your pasted details show you using a mirror). Thus you must enact procedures covered https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades first — guiverc, Oct 24 '23 at 08:10
Thank you very much quiverc for the help, I tried to follow the steps from both links you sent and it seems something is slowly moving forward, the upgrade still not working yet though. I continued as updated in the code above. Thank you for any ideas. — Achamon, Oct 24 '23 at 13:16
Fixing your self-inflicted "configured multiple times" problem is https://askubuntu.com/questions/760896/ — user535733, Oct 24 '23 at 16:25
It's right there in your output: The following packages have been kept back: megasync. Fix that or remove it. It's blocking the release-upgrade. — user535733, Oct 24 '23 at 16:26
