Indeed, there is: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2014-April/000182.html">https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2014-April/000182.html</a> The 'real' problem is, only very few who actually 'read' the announcement/release notes. I have no idea why people don't listen to any advice nor actually read? I have spent 3 hours or more today just to repeat the same sentence to Ubuntu GNOME users: "please read the release notes". The answer of all/most of the Qs - at least in my case which is Ubuntu GNOME related - that I have answered today, was here: <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuGNOME">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuGNOME</a> Most of users blame the system but when they think about it for a minute, they will figure out they didn't read the notes :) It happens with each release and I don't think it will ever over :( > -- > Brian Murray > Thank you! -- Ali/amjjawad <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/amjjawad">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/amjjawad</a> -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users"> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users</a> </div> </div> </body> </html>
