I don't know too.  I tried a several times over a couple of weeks and 
got the same result.  I could update from 12.10 to 13.04 fine but clean 
install failed for both Ubuntu 13.04 and Mint 15 while trying to install 
Japanese support.

I'm nervous about going forward with Ubuntu in any case.  It looks to me 
like they're moving away from desktop/laptop.  I can see the market for 
tablets and phones but it's a consumption market.  I can't write 
anything significant on a tablet and don't see a touchscreen 
laptop/desktop in my future unless I can no longer get a "normal" computer.

Over that period I also played with debian, suse, and a couple of other 
releases at the same time.

I have a tablet and it's quite useful and I'm starting to write code for 
Android.  I haven't touched my 電子辞書 in a couple of months.  My 
tablet does everything it did and lots more, the 辞書 on it is meant for 
someone with English as primary language and it's less expensive.
