I am using Ubuntu 13.10, and I want to upgrade to 14.04, It tells me that no updates were found and everything is up to date. I have working internet and everything, so what is wrong?

Ubuntu 13.10 only had 9 months support and so it is now months past the 13.10 End of Life date. The 13.10 repositories and now closed and they have been moved to other servers. You now need to do what is called an End of Life upgrade.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades

Since the release of Ubuntu 12.04 there has been 5 years support for LTS releases. Since the release of Ubuntu 13.04 there has only been 9 months support for the Interim releases. My advice, is to get to 14.04 and stay with it until 16.04 is released and upgrade to 16.04 before 18.04 is released.

If we install an Interim release we should be willing to upgrade every 6 to 8 months.

Regards.
