ubuntu-18.04-lts-1

So and how we publish, Canonical announced today the immediate availability of the first minor update in the series with extended support Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Bionic Beaver, starting the support cycle that will last five years.

Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS is the first of five minor updates Canonical plans to release for Ubuntu 18.04, It includes the latest software and security news published in the official repositories since Ubuntu 18.04 LTS was released on April 26 of the current year.

Unfortunately Ubuntu 18.04 LTS does not come with a kernel or graphics update because there is no new version to add. Ubuntu 18.10 Cosmic Cuttlefish is in development, with plans to launch on October 28, 2018 and is currently running the same kernel and graphics suite as Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Ubuntu Server is the star of this update because it introduces an improved installer with support for configuring LVM, RAID, VLAN, and Bonds. The rest of the official distributions, including Ubuntu Desktop, only received update packages, improving the stability and reliability of the system.

"As usual, this minor update includes many new features, a new installation image is included so that the updates to download once the system starts are minor. This update includes the latest in security and bug fixes with a focus on stability and reliability.”Mentions Adam Conrad, Ubuntu developer.

Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS available in all distributions

Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS is available for download with several different graphical environments, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu Budgie, and Ubuntu Kylin. Whereas Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS comes as Desktop and Live Server editions supporting both 32-bit and 64-bit architecture.

All Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Bionic Beaver users should update their installations, it is best to do clean installations but they can also do it using the command "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" In the terminal. If you update Ubuntu 18.04 LTS regularly, you probably already have Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS running.
