Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS Brings New Linux Hardware Support

Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS Brings New Linux Hardware Support.

Ubuntu Mirrors.

I had already updated Kubuntu 12.04 on my wife's notebook to the saucy-lts packages some days ago - and it's running better than ever! Even with the raring-lts packages she had frequent graphical glitches, and every time she played a certain Windows game on Wine her system got slower and slower and, ultimately, became unusable until she rebooted it.

Now after the update those problems are gone BTW, the update was completely hassle-free.

 

I am running 12.04.3. Is there an update "patch" or do I have to download the whole thing from scratch? I can pull down the whole file easily since I am on a 100 meg line today. Hoping to avoid a full reload.

 

Haven't you checked the link in my posting above?

 

No update patch. Just run the usual "software up to date" procedure from your top right Ubuntu icon. Once the procedure is done, you'll be on 12.04.4

 

Hm - I'm on Kubuntu, not Ubuntu so I might be missing something. For all I know, the official proper way how to install the Saucy hardware enablement packages is the following:

Code:

sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-saucy xserver-xorg-lts-saucy libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-saucy

That's how I did it, and it worked flawlessly.
