As you can see at the Ubuntu link below, support for 12.10 ended in May, 2014.

Which means the repositories have been removed from that server and are no longer kept up to date. Your best option is to do a clean install of 14.04 LTS, which will be supported until April 2019.

Hi sudha2, welcome to the forums.

I've edited your post, adding code tags to it because output code posted as plain text loses its formatting and parts of it sometimes turn into smileys making it difficult to read and understand. The use of 'Code' tags (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2171721&p=12776168&viewfull=1#post12776168) makes the post clean, compact and more appealing, thus getting more attention from readers.

Regarding your problem, please have a read at the Forums Staff recommendations on EOL Ubuntu releases (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2229730).
