I try:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

    The problem is you are in a LTS version and 10.10 is a normal version.

    Here are the steps:

    Be sure that you apply all updates to your current version of Ubuntu before you upgrade:

    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

    Now perform this procedure:

    Network upgrade for Ubuntu servers (Recommended)

    1. Install update-manager-core if it is not already installed:

      sudo apt-get install update-manager-core

    2. Edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal.

    3. Launch the upgrade tool:

      sudo do-release-upgrade

    4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

  2. Try sudo do-release-upgrade alone. If you are going to merge commands in one line, it should be like this: 

    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

    Notice the two ampersands.

  3. You broke the chaining of the two commands that were right (use && or just split them over two lines)

    sudo apt-get install update-manager-core
sudo do-release-upgrade
