If you don't have too much on that computer, you should probably just copy of your personal stuff and reformat it with the 14.04 version. Nuke it from orbit... it's the only way to be sure.
Man, it's been so long. I don't expect you to give me a step-by-step, but are the broad strokes that I would make a CD or DVD on another PC, then boot from that to do the fresh installation? Is there a command I can run, then at boot the installation would begin? I assumed I was going to lose everything anyway - I'm good about backing up data. Chris

Right. That was the problem with the sed command. There's noca.old-releases.ubuntu.com <http://ca.old-releases.ubuntu.com> domain. Just replace the whole thing with the three lines I gave you.
Then run: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Done. So, is the following good, bad, or a mix?

Okay, I think you may be able to just run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and things will work fine. It failed to run that second part because the update failed on some custom PPA's you installed. The dist-upgrade should then disable the PPA's and do the upgrade.
This is what I got ...
