[GTALUG] Upgrade from Ubuntu 12.10

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
