Take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/#Requirements . Can you post your /etc/apt/sources.list file?
The IP that apt is looking at definitely doesn't have 12.10 or 13.04: http://91.189.92.201/ubuntu/dists/ When I used that post I manually made the change and didn't use sed so I can't confirm that that command actually made the proper changes needed. If you still have 12.10 then your /etc/apt/sources.list file should be something like the following: deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal main restricted universe multiverse deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-updates main restricted universe multiverse deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-security main restricted universe multiverse On Sat, Dec 20, 2014 at 2:42 PM, Chris Aitken <[email protected]> wrote: > On 14-12-20 02:13 PM, Tim Tisdall wrote: > > I had this exact issue a short while ago.
