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

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
