Upgrading from 12.10 will honestly not be practical or sensible; 12.10 is now out of support as are the next two versions, 13.04 and 13.10, through which you have to step in order to get to 14.04, the current LTS (long term support) version.

I recommend that you back up all your personal files and folders from /home and then do a clean install of 14.04.
