I only used he term "upgrading" because I am using the Windows installer "wubi.exe" to use Ubuntu 12.04.2 (which by the way, there are so many graphical errors, it's not even funny).

Hello All!<br>
<br>
I was wondering if there was a way to upgrade to 13.04 via the terminal. If there is, how can I do it?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Thomas Corwin<br>
