In my case I can handle the update (I guess) but assuming a normal user coming from XP this spring: how should one know about this difference? Isn't the "LTS" somewhat misleading? | |

lsb_release -a gives 12.04.4 LTS or 12.04 precise. It has Kernel uname -r 3.8.0-40. So according to the HWE wiki I am affected by the EOL and so I am told from the update manager. Still it says LTS, does it not?

| Jul 21, 2014 at 7:14 | comment | added | Mitch | It seems that something is not clear, 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is still in support until 2017-04. | |
