I wanted to upgrade to 13.04 and as a necessity I need to update to 12.10. I have successfully updated in the past from Ubuntu 10 to Ubuntu 11 ans 12.04. Somehow, when I try from terminal or from update manager the update fails with shown in the following error.

Screenshot of the Error

I have also submitted the bug report via launchpad. I don't wish to update using dvd to save applications. Any alternative?

Have submitted as bug at Bug Launcpad

In a terminal run next commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Edit: Also, try to choose another download server.

  • @MalTec I would suggest reverting to other country's server instead of the main archive.ubuntu.com – Radu Rădeanu Jun 21 '13 at 18:49
  • nope. still not working. fetches software channels well. fails at "calculating changes" . Running from terminal doesn't affect at all. – MalTec Jun 23 '13 at 14:00
  • removing packages that were not updating helped. Removed removed xserver-xorg-video-openchrome xserver-xorg-video-qxl. It worked. Thanks :) – MalTec Jun 23 '13 at 14:15

Seems other users didn't face this issue.

Remove any packages, that are greyed out. Like in my case: xserver-xorg-video-qxl and xserver-xorg-video-openchrome. And then the usual step:

sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-qxl
sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-openchrome
sudo apt-get update

It's working.
