Please read site below. Quantal (12.10) is EOL (end of life). That means no updates or support. Suggest you make clean install of Ubuntu 14.04.

Yes, normal releases have a lifetime of only 9 month (up to 12.10 18 months). But LTS relases have 5 years. 14.04 is the current LTS release. You should update to that.

Is there a way to update from 12.10 to 14.04 without having to do a clean install?

I personally did not find a reliable way. I ran across a few ideas that others had tried. They seemed to be ok for a small number of people but most had buggy results.
 In the end I moved all my stuff to other drives and installed off a bootable usb stick. Was actually easy thanks to the walk thru on making the bootable. Walk thru is on Ubuntu site under "alternative download" ( or "alternative installs", not remembering exactly which it was called). It worked fine. I found a few of my old settings did actually port, but not many. All the external stuff - Google, steam, etc., was unaffected of course. Returned the stuff i'd moved and it was a perfect go. Had been worried about the moved stuff as was moved to internal drives. I'd been told that the other drives would be fine, but it was a relief to see it was true.
I'm afraid the best thing to do is just bite the bullet.

Can you help with this problem?
