There is apparently a 14.04.5 LTS release of Ubuntu Gnome, here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-gnome/releases/trusty/release/
But there is nothing about this release in the usual places, like here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/GetUbuntuGNOME/LTS and https://ubuntugnome.org/download/ and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuGNOME Those pages still claim that 14.04.4 is the current 14.04 LTS release. Is it? Or isn't it? John PS: I'm looking for the latest release image to do a reinstall. The thing called "software updater" in the GUI (I don't know what its real command-line name is) forced my Ubuntu-Gnome 14.04.x system to upgrade to a new "Hardware Enablement Stack" otherwise it wouldn't let me upgrade to *any* security updates of any sort. (The only options it offered are "upgrade to Enablement Stack" or "exit".) Doing the upgrade broke my system. I can log in, but as soon as I run something, anything, even a Terminal, it pops up on the screen for a second, and then gets its window borders un-decorated, and then the screen background crashes, then the whole screen goes back to ASCII daemon startup text for a second, and then the GDM login screen reappears. I'm avoiding upgrades on my other 14.04.x system because life gets much harder when both your machines won't let you run any programs. I'm looking for the best 14.04 LTS release ISO so I can do a full reinstall from scratch on the dead machine. PPS: This page lies: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/1404_HWE_EOL Here's the lie: FAQ I am running 14.04.2 HWE. From August 4, 2016 onwards my system will no longer receive package updates? Not true. Such a system will only stop receiving updates for the kernel and the graphics stack. The rest of the software will continue to get updates. But it does block updates for the entire system. When you run "Software Updater", it gives this message in a pop-up with three buttons: New important security and hardware support update. WARNING: Security updates for your current Hardware Enablement Stack ended on 2016-08-04: * http://wiki.ubuntu.com/1404_HWE_EOL [Settings] [Install] [OK] Those are the only choices. Settings is not useful. Install puts in the new HWE stuff. OK causes it to immediately exit, without giving you the usual window showing you packages to upgrade. There is no option to continue installing updates to the rest of your software.
