Ubuntu 12.10 is end of life since May 2014, see also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

Best path forward would be to upgrade to a supported release, for example a LTS release with longer support. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades for a guide how to do the upgrade from the command line.
