You can only upgrade to Ubuntu 23.04 from Ubuntu 22.10. Going backwards from Ubuntu 22.10 to Ubuntu 22.04 (jammy) is not upgrading, it's downgrading. That's why you got this error message: The value 'jammy' is invalid for APT::Default-Release.

If you want to downgrade from Ubuntu 22.10 to Ubuntu 22.04 the safest way to do it is by backing up your data and fresh installing Ubuntu 22.04.

although the original question was written as a trial to downgrade the version, I received the same output when I tried to upgrade also I've succeeded in solving this problem with the assistance of ai sage of Poe it guided me to install Synaptic package manager sudo apt install synaptic which is available on the universal repository of Ubuntu then I selected the installed packages, by clicking status button and using ctrl+a to choose all packages then I marked them to reinstall by clicking on package droplist and clicking on mark to reinstall then I rebooted the system to complete the process after the reinstall was finished then I used full upgrade command several times with rebooting in between till finished sudo apt full-upgrade when all these steps are completed the system was upgraded to version 2304 Best regards

No thanks for your aggressive language I've already tried all formatting I can then all of it are deleted when I published my post, as what appear for me in your comment If you want to advise others, use proper language If you don't accept some comments or answers, I think that the platform gave you the choice of downvote KEEP YOUR PUBLIC ENMITY FOR YOURSELF

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
