The update-manager tries to update from 12.04 to 12.10 but this seems to fail, because it's no longer supported, instead it should update to 14.04.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Buy a dell laptop with ubuntu 12.04 pre-installed
2. Run sudo do-release-upgrade or update manager gui

Current result:
 sudo do-release-upgrade
Checking for a new Ubuntu release

Fetching the upgrade failed. There may be a network problem.

Expected result:
Ability to upgrade to either 12.10 -> 13.04 -> 14.04
or upgrade directly from 12.04 -> 14.04 a direct upgrade path seems better.
