I don't think this upgrade path is still supported since alternate has been dropped in Quantal.

[Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox)]

Which CDs did you use? We want to go and check all CDs to make sure this is *not* offered... since e.g. some CDs now have package pool for a different purpose.

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

16:25 <cjwatson> it's probably still on the server CD, probably mistakenly
16:26 <cjwatson> since apt isn't going to have a whole lot of luck upgrading the base system from the squashfs
16:28 <cjwatson> update-notifier distinguishes between "CD with packages", "CD with dist-upgrader", "CD with addons", "CD with aptoncd"
[note: aptoncd is actually commented out and I think addons is historical]
16:29 <cjwatson> I don't think we'll get the dist-upgrader one but it might well show up as having packages
16:29 <cjwatson> arguably correctly
16:29 <cjwatson> This is the difference between:
16:29 <cjwatson> A volume with software packages has been detected. Would you like to open it with the package manager?
16:29 <cjwatson> and:
16:30 <cjwatson> A distribution volume with software packages has been detected. Would you like to try to upgrade from it automatically?

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

This was with alternate, but when I checked for Beta 1, it was still offered in server images and failed.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

I confirm that both the amd64 and i386 ubuntu-server images contain the cdromupgrade script and a 12.04 system is presented with the 'Would you like to try and upgrade from it automatically' message.
