14 DAY TRIAL // Adam Conrad from Canonical announced earlier today, February 20, the immediate availability of the Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS (Trusty Tahr) maintenance release, which includes all of its derivatives, such as Lubuntu 14.04.2 LTS, Kubuntu 14.04.2 LTS, Xubuntu 14.04.2 LTS, Edubuntu 14.04.2 LTS, Ubuntu GNOME 14.04.2 LTS, Ubuntu Kylin 14.04.2 LTS, Ubuntu Studio 14.04.2 LTS, and Mythbuntu 14.04.2 LTS.
Don’t expect to see visual changes on a point release of an Ubuntu LTS (Long Term Support) computer operating system because it will never happen. Instead, you will get the latest upstream kernel and graphics stacks from the current stable version, Ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic Unicorn) in this case, which provide for better support of carefully-selected hardware, with the ultimate goal of keeping Lubuntu 14.04.2 LTS a reliable and stable operating system.
Lubuntu 14.04.2 LTS also comes with a number of updated packages
Besides the refreshed hardware support, Lubuntu 14.04.2 LTS also comes with a number of updated packages that make new installations of the operating system a breeze, as users won’t have to spend hours downloading all the available updates after installing Lubuntu 14.04 LTS or Lubuntu 14.04.1 LTS. However, please note that the ISO images are only for those who want to install Lubuntu on new computers. Existing users should just keep their installations up to date, always.
As such, the Lubuntu 14.04.2 LTS update aims to maintain the stability of existing installations. In addition, various bugs have been squashed in this release, including the broken WebKit installation on the PowerPC architecture, the missing network settings indicator from the panel, the ALT+F2 shortcut issue, the keyboard layout issue, as well as the install type screen “no option” problem. Download Lubuntu 14.04.2 LTS right now from Softpedia, it is available for 32-bit, 64-bit, and PowerPC systems.
