internet-connection

I just upgraded to 12.10. Everything appears to go well but I am unable to connect to the Internet. The LAN is fine and I can view my shared files but no e-mail or access to web pages. My other computer which is running 12.04 or older seems to connect fine. I only upgraded one to make sure things would be ok. I am currently connecting fine with a wireless Windows laptop.

Output from cat /etc/resolv.conf

This has meant in the past that I had to rely on a custom iso to install… >>> More

How will people upgrade from 12.10 to 14.04 after 13.04 is EOL?

as seen on Ask Ubuntu - Search for 'Ask Ubuntu'
Looking at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases 13.04 will reach EOL in January 2014, while 12.10 will reach EOL in April 2014, therefore if a 12.10 user hasn't upgraded to 13.04 and subsequently to 13.10, there will be a 3 month period where a 12.10 user has a supported version of Ubuntu, but will be… >>> More
