I am current trying to upgrade a ubuntu server via ssh. I am stuck since i can not perform a do-release-upgrade. It tries maverick instead of trying 12.04
Essentially I think he is failing because 12.04 is an old release. I had to change /var/lib/update-manager/meta-release to start using old-releases mirrors instead of archive since it was failing before with another problem.
My sources : http://pastebin.com/xrFTaKjn My /var/lib/update-manager/meta-release : http://pastebin.com/A3Zs6DYx
What is wrong?
My error:
