Upgrading from an unsupported release after its packages have been
removed from the archives is more work than it could be.

If you're lucky, running sudo do-release-update    will run to
completion and work for you.

If you can recall the page that gave download links to an unsupported
release, it'd be best to report those as bugs, too, to save other people
the hassle.

Thanks

Title:
  Recently downloaded 12.10 from Ubuntu.com all problems

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Being a new user to Ubuntu, and not knowing any better, I downloaded
  12.10 from Ubuntu.com which is a EOL operating system. So, I cant
  download anything, including updates/upgrades. It basiclly works just
  good enough to make me mad and then it pretty much freezes up. I would
  like to use the most current version of Ubuntu, but everything that I
  am trying is not working, and everything that I am reading says its
  not possible. I have even tried to put Windows 7 back on my computer,
  but it wont boot, did before, but wont now. I would reall like to use
  Ubuntu, Please help. Thank You
