Ubuntu announced its 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish) release almost 9 months
ago, on October 18, 2018. As a non-LTS release, 18.10 has a 9-month
support cycle and, as such, the support period is now nearing its
end and Ubuntu 18.10 will reach end of life on Thursday, July 18th.
At that time, Ubuntu Security Notices will no longer include
information or updated packages for Ubuntu 18.10.
The supported upgrade path from Ubuntu 18.10 is via Ubuntu 19.04.
Instructions and caveats for the upgrade may be found at:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DiscoUpgrades
Ubuntu 19.04 continues to be actively supported with security updates
and select high-impact bug fixes. Announcements of security updates
for Ubuntu releases are sent to the ubuntu-security-announce mailing
list, information about which may be found at:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-security-announce
Since its launch in October 2004 Ubuntu has become one of the most
highly regarded Linux distributions with millions of users in homes,
schools, businesses and governments around the world. Ubuntu is Open
Source software, costs nothing to download, and users are free to
customise or alter their software in order to meet their needs.
On behalf of the Ubuntu Release Team,
