Quantal is EOL and no longer supported in any way. There are no packages and no community support.

It's like running Windows 98 and searching for Windows updates.

They don't exist.

I suggest you wipe Quantal off and do a clean install of trusty (Ubumtu 14.04) and then restore your user data from your backups. Trusty is LTS and supported til April 2019.

Thanks for answering.

Just after I posted the question, I tried to run Software Update which then gave me a message that there are no updates for Ubuntu 12.10 any more. So I upgraded it to the next Ubuntu 13.10 and yes it started working again.

I do not want to upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04 right now as I do not like Gnome Shell UI for Ubuntu 14.04 (seen it on a friend's system). So, can you tell til when is Ubuntu 13.10 supported?

And thanks for that answer. Yes, an upgrade to new version was needed.
