I guess, the title can describe the real problem.

I know that upgrading from 12.10 to 14.04 require step by step upgrades from 12.10 to 13.04 to 13.10 to 14.04 LTS.But after the EOL of 12.10, 13.04, 13.10, I still can't update neither upgrade. I guess that one of the manual solutions are:

1- Downgrade to 12.04 LTS and then jump to 14.04LTS, is it really possible ? 2- Upgrade to 14.04LTS via DVD, is it possible??

The last question, is there any solution to upgrade from 12.10 to 14.04 LTS directly that can be expected in the near future??

Thanks for helping

Step by step upgrades are not required as regards non-LTS versions. It's fully possible to upgrade from 12.10 directly to 14.04 LTS. But you should never skip an LTS version.

Downgrading is not a good idea, if at all possible.

Edit:

If I was in your situation, I would try:

  • sudo -i gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
  • Replace all occurrences of quantal with trusty and save
  • sudo apt-get update
  • sudo apt-get upgrade
  • sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
  • sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
  • Reboot
