Support and Help
You are welcome here.Always state which standard-supported version of Ubuntu you are using
and which official flavor
Specify the version using proper yy.mm versioning, where mm should be either 04 or 10 as we release in April and October. Just using the yy (i.e. 24 or 22) is imprecise.
Note: official flavor LTS releases are only supported for 3 years.
It is always a good idea to check the Release Notes for your version to see if there are any known issues, which may come with mitigation instructions.
