12.04 LTS is still the latest LTS as I understand it and still being supported. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS What does `lsb_release -a' show? You can go from 12.04 to 12.10, then 13.04, etc. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes > Hopefully this will not only bring my version up to date (without > losing other items I have installed!) but also fix the menu problem at > the same time. It *may* repair things.
