I did the same exact same thing as you yesterday (on the same system)
and it went well for me.
Are you sure you were connected with a user having admin right ?

  Ubuntu 14.04 with xwiki installed from xwiki repo
 after apt-getupdate and apt-get dist-upgrade and a reboot, ran through
 the distribution wizard on first login, no errors seen, but the front
 page looked like

 I followed "The wizard fails to appear at startup" on
 
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/DistributionWizard
 and deleted the .../jobs/status/distribution/status.xml file, then
 restarted, the distribution wizard was not seen, but the "pages" are
 now working again
 Cheers
