Ubuntu announced its 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) release almost 5 years ago,

on April 26, 2012. As with the earlier LTS releases, Ubuntu committed

to ongoing security and critical fixes for a period of 5 years. The

support period is now nearing its end and Ubuntu 12.04 will reach end

of life on Friday, April 28th. At that time, Ubuntu Security Notices

will no longer include information or updated packages for Ubuntu 12.04.

 

The supported upgrade path from Ubuntu 12.04 is via Ubuntu 14.04.

Users are encouraged to evaluate and upgrade to our latest 16.04 LTS

release via 14.04. Instructions and caveats for the upgrades may be
