I had this exact issue a short while ago. The issue is that Ubuntu no
longer has any of the packages for 12.10 live so apt fails to find the
files it needs to do a dist. upgrade. I used the following post to
get around this issue:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/91815/how-to-install-software-or-upgrade-from-an-old-unsupported-release/91821#91821
I tried all those steps.
|sudo sed -i -e
's/archive.ubuntu.com\|security.ubuntu.com/old-releases.ubuntu.com/g'
/etc/apt/sources.list
||sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
||sudo apt-get update
||sudo apt-get install update-manager-core
sudo do-release-upgrade|
The last step gave me ...

The problem is that you´re using a very old version of Flash. In
fact, you´re using very old version of everything, as far as I
can see.
Ubuntu 12.10 - means you´re using Ubuntu from October 2012.
Firefox 29 - the one I´m using is 34.
Well, I think you should really think about updating your
Ubuntu, so you´ll also have all the other softwares updated,
since you´re using old repositories, with old versions of software.
OK. I'm going to upgrade. Is there an easy GUI method? System
