I am using Ubuntu 12.10. Since Ubuntu 12.10 has reached "end of life" I am unable to download and install softwares which I require. when I type the following command in terminal I get the following message.

$ do-release-upgrade -d

The command "Ubuntu-support-status" gives the following...

ashish@Ashish:~$ ubuntu-support-status
Support status summary of 'Ashish':


You have 1987 packages (100.0%) that can not/no-longer be downloaded
You have 0 packages (0.0%) that are unsupported

Run with --show-unsupported, --show-supported or --show-all to see more details

Can you tell how to upgrade Ubuntu 12.10 to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS or any other version...

Upgrading from 12.10 does not make much sense, because two further releases(13.04 and 13.10) are already EOL.

Therefore it's impossible# to upgrade from 12.10 to anything.

The best solution for you would be to install Ubuntu 14.04 freshly. As a plus point, you would also be able to setup things like new disk formatting(ext4 maybe), LUKS enkryption, RAID, LVM etc which can be done only at installation.

# you may try to find a server which still makes it possible to upgrade from 12.10, though such a server probably doesn't exist.
