Good afternoon Marc,

Are you installing Lubuntu 12.04? Or is it a typing error?

Lubuntu 12.04 had no long time support. The specific program packages of
Lubuntu have passed end of life and receives no updates, not even
security updates. Lubuntu 14.04 LTS is the first Lubuntu version with
long time support.

If you need 12.04.5 because of drivers for old hardware, you can use
community re-spins, that promise long time support as long as standard
Ubuntu is supported, until April 2017. LXLE is one such alternative, but
in that case you should ask at the LXLE website for support. I wish and
hope that you can use Lubuntu 14.04 LTS and to keep it updated/upgraded.
We have the second point release now, 14.04.2.

Best regards
Nio
