You can upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 by either downloading the ISO and  
reinstalling completely, or upgrading using the update manager by  
doing the following (found on an Ubuntu mailing list http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1185036 
 and I have used 2 time with no problems):

1) Open a terminal
2) Run update-manager -d
3) Click the button that offers an upgrade.

Hope this helps you get a recent version of Octave up and running more  
quickly.
