Friendly reminder: Lubuntu 13.04 EOL (end of life) is due to January 27th.
Suggestion for this weekend: upgrade your Lubuntu 13.04 as I just did.

I use Lubuntu in a partitioned HD. /home and /swap are separate from /root.
Usually I format /root and do kind of a fresh install of Lubuntu.
This time I decided to just upgrade due to some Lubuntu 13.10 issues
that everybody is aware of.
Conclusion: for me, this time the upgrade worked better than the kind
of fresh install I used to do.
If you're upgrading like me, some suggestions before upgrading:
1) sudo apt-get update
2) sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
3) reboot to have the latest updates online.
4) sudo apt-get autoremove
5) sudo apt-get autoclean
6) sudo apt-get clean
7) disable any PPAs that you have added previously
8) sudo do-release-upgrade
Wait... take some coffee, go watch a movie... Reboot.
9) Be a happy Lubuntu 13.10 user.
Best regards,
All:
You can also just apply updates using the software-updater system tool,
after which it will offer the upgrade to 13.10, and you just choose that
option and follow the instructions. And yes, it does take a long time.
But no need for all those (8) steps (and all that typing).
Years ago, upgrades to a new level were very risky. But in the last
several releases, I have upgraded, and it hasn't failed yet. It's nice
to not have to re-install (and configure) all the extra software I use.
