Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! Try to update 12.04 first then do release upgrade. – Danatela Sep 10 '13 at 03:25

@Danatela you meant 12.10, no? – Braiam Sep 10 '13 at 03:27

Could you add a screenshot or more details about it? – Braiam Sep 10 '13 at 03:29

@Danatela did you really think that? Check again the [release page](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases) and confirm. Either way, only from LTS release to LTS release you can skip upgrades, with normal releases **you can not**. – Braiam Sep 10 '13 at 03:36

@Braiam, oops, OK :) Raring will be out of date even more shortly then Quantal, so strange... – Danatela Sep 10 '13 at 03:48

Thanks Metrik, I tried that, 1. worked; 2. worked 3. started but wanted me to put 13.04 CD in the drive & press enter. That didn't help (I made the CD by burning the ISO file to DVD. I also got a pop-up window telling me it was waiting for apt-get to end. Maybe I should just blatt 12.04 and start clean? – Rod Sep 10 '13 at 04:06
