Ubuntu Desktop 2.1: LTS releases and version numbers

Finding this system's release and point release, when its support ends, and which Ubuntu releases are still supported.

Before you start

The lab installs distro-info if it's missing and changes nothing else. Write your answers to the files in /root/lab-answers/, one item per line.

Tasks

  1. Find this system's release, code name and point release. Write the point release (such as 24.04.5) on line 1 of /root/lab-answers/1 and the code name on line 2.
  2. Find the date standard support ends for this release, and for the latest LTS. Write them on lines 1 and 2 of /root/lab-answers/2, as YYYY-MM-DD (or at least the month, such as May 2029).
  3. List every Ubuntu release still supported today, and say which of them are LTS releases. Write one release per line to /root/lab-answers/3 as its version number, followed by LTS for the LTS ones (such as 24.04 LTS). Leave out the release still in development.

Hints

  • lsb_release -a, /etc/os-release.
  • The eol column of /usr/share/distro-info/ubuntu.csv; hwe-support-status --verbose; ubuntu-distro-info --lts.
  • ubuntu-distro-info --supported --fullname, and --devel for the release still being developed.
