You can't. You need to do a full install. – Jul 13 '13 at 11:47

as i know you could not skip versions (incompatibility issues), and you must do it step by step
i recommend you to:
update your version to latest using cmd
sudo aptitude update && aptitude upgrade
and then
sudo do-release-upgrade -d
and you will upgrade to next version....after that you will do the same, and you will go to the next version
good luck

leon, it's not working. Apperently It's not possible even to make upgrade version by version. I will make fresh installation. Thanks – Anis Jul 13 '13 at 12:34

From what I understand, Ubuntu generally uses `apt-get`. Is there a specific reason you recommend `aptitude` over `apt-get`? Do you know if OP has `aptitude` installed? Wouldn't OP have to install `aptitude` first? Shouldn't that be part of your answer? What advantage does going from 11.04 to 11.10 to 12.04 to 12.10 to 13.04 confer over doing a clean install of 13.04 over the existing 11.04 (after backing up essential user data)? – Jul 13 '13 at 12:43
