Maverick is EOL, it is not supported in any way, shape or form. I suggest you wipe out the installation and install a clean install of Precise. Not only is it the latest stable version of Ubuntu but it is also LTS, giving 5 years support.

Even if they did, it's mooted by the fact that Maverick is EOL.

Can you help with this problem?
