Did the Ubuntu Studio download page revert to a pre-25.10 version a couple days after 4/17?
I’ve been looking forward to upgrading to 25.04 (GIMP 3.0, Yay!), so on release day last week I visited the download page and I’m sure I saw the .iso file ready to download. Now a few days later the download page shows 24.10 as the most recent.
I’ve got another question re: upgrading from 24.04 LTS to 25.04 (I understand I’ll need to install 24.10 as an intermediate step), but I suspect that’s not Ubuntu Studio specific, so I’ll try the general Ubuntu forum first.
Yes, because 25.04 was just released. 25.10 won’t be released until October 2025 (hence the year = 25, month = 10 aka October).
If you meant reverted to a pre-24.10 version, 24.04 is the current LTS and has been there since its release.
However, in the chaos of release day on Thursday I failed to update the download page, which I have just done, so it might take a while to load into the caches. A workaround for that is to visit the Release Notes where it is definitely linked.
This may have been what you meant.
Just for the sake of clarity, the Ubuntu Studio category is for general discussion, and you posted support questions. This is why there’s an Ubuntu Studio-specific link on the Start Here page as it automatically tags it as Ubuntu Studio, but the support is from the greater Ubuntu community at large, including fellow Ubuntu Studio users. Remember, flavors of Ubuntu are not separate from Ubuntu.
For that reason, I moved your topic.
And, to answer your question. do not upgrade to 25.04 yet as it may destroy your installation. Upgrades were momentarily enabled, but then disabled within hours as Ubuntu Studio and Kubuntu especially were losing their desktop environments. Sure, you can override it, but take my advice: don’t. Wait until upgrades are reenabled. You’ll receive a notification.
Thank you!
No, 25.10 was a typo. I meant “…revert to a pre-25.04 version…”. I know that 25.10 is not expected until the 10th month of '25.
And actually this was specific to Ubuntu Studio’s download page, and I see you corrected it within minutes. BRAVO! I’ll post my upgrade question in the general support section. (And thank you, I’ll heed the caution about waiting until upgrades are enabled).
