Hi Inderjit. Or maybe try advices described here: [ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaringUpgrades ]. Of course, first check what Andrew wrote.

Best regards.

Chose "For any new version" in Update Manager > Settings... > Notify me of a new Ubuntu version. It will maybe help.

Hi ZDroid. Exactly that is written in a 'RaringUpgrades' documentation, which I have given a link to it :-) I mean "Notify me of a new Ubuntu version:" option etc. More precise:

,-----[ RaringUpgrades ]
| https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaringUpgrades#Upgrade_from_12.10_to_13.04_Beta
 `-----

Greeting ZDroid. Best regards.

Try: update-manager -d
Now it should notify you

-d will update to the (d)evelopment release which is Saucy Salamander. This will also leapfrog a release which will cause issues

I run commands given at #1.The upgrade has been downloaded, then it shows -Applying changes and it shows no progress. There is long pink line at the details .But there happens nothing even after long time.

This could mean that your system is now unusable. If you've still got it running, close the terminal, and reopen it and run: sudo dpkg --configure -a and then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. This may fix your issues.

Please refer Ans. No. #11. I run both the commands, there was no output for fisrt command. The second command, after running for some time, given the message - Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?.Please inform the next step.Thanks.
