What is a Long Term Support Release?

A Long Term Support release or LTS release, means that Ubuntu will support the version for five years. If you are running a production environment, you will likely want to use a Long-Term Support version of your preferred server operating system.

Why You Should Use an LTS Release of Ubuntu

You should use an LTS release for your production environment because it is more stable than interim releases. Ubuntu releases a new LTS version every two years, and they release a new “interim” release every six months.

Each interim release gives Ubuntu an opportunity to implement and test new features as well as update libraries. If they run into any bugs or conflicts with anything new added in an interim release, Ubuntu can fix them before the next LTS release of Ubuntu.

LTS versions do receive point updates but don’t expect the updates to include any new features. The point updates harden the functionality of current features.

Depending on when you installed Ubuntu version 16.04, the Linux kernel used would have been anywhere from version 4.4 to 4.10. Version 18.04 uses Linux kernel 4.15 at launch.
Linux kernel 4.5 now includes new features like CPU controller for the cgroup v2 interface, AMD secure memory encryption support, the latest MD driver with software RAID enhancements, and improved power management for systems with SATA Link Power Management.
The new kernel also includes some Ubuntu-specific updates, Linux security module stacking support, and the signing of POWER host and NV kernels is now supported.
18.04 does not install Python 2 default, and it updated Python version 3 to version 3.6.
Apache updates to version 2.4.29 and supports HTTP/2.
Nginx updates to version 1.14.0.
PHP updates from version 7.1 to 7.2.
The ifupdown network manager is removed on new installs and is deprecated. netplan.io is the new network configuration manager.
OpenSSH now refuses to use RSA keys smaller than 1024 bits. This command can report the length of a key.ssh-keygen -l -f /path/to/key.pub
32-bit PowerPC support has been dropped.
The Subuquity server installer brings live sessions and fast installs of Ubuntu Desktop to server users.
Ubuntu 18.04 ships with LXD system container manager version 3.0. Version 3.0 of LXD allows for clustering of LXD servers, adds support of NVIDIA run-time pass-through, and lxd-p2c is a new tool that turns existing systems into LXD containers.

To see the full list of changes that are included in Ubuntu 18.04 check the BionicBeaver release notes.

The partitioning step allows you to configure LVM across multiple devices without you to create a separate boot partition. This could cause the bootloader installation to fail or cause failures to boot. You can keep track of this bug using this link.
Importing SSH keys for GitHub or Launchpad won’t work with the new Ubiquity installer. You can track the bug using this link.
LVM groups can’t be removed if volume groups of the same name are found during installation. As a workaround be sure to format the drives before installing. You can track this bug using this link.

Preflight

You need a user with sudo privileges to run the commands need to update.
We also encourage you to create a staging environment to test the upgrade from 16.04 to Ubuntu 18.04 before trying it in a production environment.

How to Upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04

Step 1: Create a backup of your environment.

Most upgrades will go smoothly, but you want to be prepared just in case. When you upgrade LTS versions, you are rolling two years of gradual changes into one major update. There are many moving pieces, and a backup can easily fix anything that goes wrong. Do not skip this step, create a backup.

Step 2: Upgrade the installed packages of Ubuntu version 16.04.

Updating the packages to the latest version for 16.04 decreases the chance of something going wrong during the upgrade to version 18.04. Run the command below to update and upgrade the packages.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Ubuntu will grab the available package upgrades and ask you to confirm you want to continue.

Use ‘sudo apt autoremove‘ to remove them.

The following packages will be upgraded:

ca-certificates python3-software-properties software-properties-common update-notifier-common 4 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 359 kB of archives. After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
Type Y in your terminal to continue

Step 3: Install the Ubuntu Update Manager.

To no one’s surprise, you need to have the Update Manager installed on your server to use it. To add the Update Manager to your server add command below to your terminal.

sudo apt install update-manager-core

If you are using a Liquid Web VPS, you can skip this step. The Upgrade manager is installed by default.

Step 4: Upgrade Ubuntu.

Now that you have created a backup installed package updates and have the upgrade manager you are ready to upgrade Ubuntu.

sudo do-release-upgrade

After you enter the upgrade command, you will be asked to confirm that you want to update via SSH. Type Y to continue.

To make an easy recovery in case of failure, an additional sshd will be started on port '1022'. If anything goes wrong with the running SSH, you can still connect to the additional one. If you run a firewall, you may need to temporarily open this port. As this is potentially dangerous it's not done automatically. You can open the port with, e.g.: 'iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 1022 -j ACCEPT' To continue, please press [ENTER]

After hitting Enter, Ubuntu will get all the packages needed to update and will inform you how many packages will be added and removed and the size of the update.

Do you want to start the upgrade? 3 installed packages are no longer supported by Canonical. You can still get support from the community. 3 packages are going to be removed. 121 new packages are going to be installed. 349 packages are going to be upgraded. You have to download a total of 263 M. This download will take about 33 minutes with a 1Mbit DSL connection and about 10 hours with a 56k modem. Fetching and installing the upgrade can take several hours. Once the download has finished, the process cannot be canceled. You will need to type YN to continue upgrading.

The installation will take some time to complete. You may see some prompts during the upgrade that will require your interaction so plan on staying near your terminal.

You may see a prompt like the one above. The prompt is informing us that a new version of a file is available, but the version currently installed on the server has been locally modified. You will have to choose whether you want to install the new version of the file and overwrite the changes, keep the currently installed version, or merge the files. There isn’t a correct choice, and you just need to choose which option is the best for you.

Searching for obsolete software Reading state information... Done Remove obsolete packages? 38 packages are going to be removed. Continue [yN] Details [d] Type YN into your terminal to remove the packages and continue upgrading.

After the upgrade is complete, a restart will be required.

You will be logged out during the restart, and you will need to log back in to confirm the upgrade was successful. To check what version of Ubuntu is currently installed use the command below.

lsb_release -a

We did it, our upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04 was successful.

This topic is for programmers. If you are a customer experiencing USB problems, see Troubleshoot common USB problems

This topic lists the Microsoft-provided drivers for the supported USB device classes.

Microsoft-provided drivers for USB-IF approved device classes.
For composite devices, use USB Generic Parent Driver (Usbccgp.sys) that creates physical device objects (PDOs) for each function.
For non-composite devices or a function of a composite device, use WinUSB (Winusb.sys).

If you are installing USB drivers: You do not need to download USB device class drivers. They are installed automatically. These drivers and their installation files are included in Windows. They are available in the WindowsSystem32DriverStoreFileRepository folder. The drivers are updated through Windows Update.

If you are writing a custom driver: Before writing a driver for your USB device, determine whether a Microsoft-provided driver meets the device requirements. If a Microsoft-provided driver is not available for the USB device class to which your device belongs, then consider using generic drivers, Winusb.sys or Usbccgp.sys. Write a driver only when necessary. More guidelines are included in Choosing a driver model for developing a USB client driver.

USB Device classes

USB Device classes are categories of devices with similar characteristics and that perform common functions. Those classes and their specifications are defined by the USB-IF. Each device class is identified by USB-IF approved class, subclass, and protocol codes, all of which are provided by the IHV in device descriptors in the firmware. Microsoft provides in-box drivers for several of those device classes, called USB device class drivers. If a device that belongs to a supported device class is connected to a system, Windows automatically loads the class driver, and the device functions with no additional driver required.

Hardware vendors should not write drivers for the supported device classes. Windows class drivers might not support all of the features that are described in a class specification. If some of the device's capabilities are not implemented by the class driver, vendors should provide supplementary drivers that work in conjunction with the class driver to support the entire range of functionality provided by the device.

For general information about USB-IF approved device classes see the USB Common Class Specification

The current list of USB class specifications and class codes is documented in the USB-IF Defined Class Code List.

Device setup classes

Windows categorizes devices by device setup classes, which indicate the functionality of the device.

Microsoft defines setup classes for most devices. IHVs and OEMs can define new device setup classes, but only if none of the existing classes apply. For more information, see System-Defined Device Setup Classes.

Two important device setup classes for USB devices are as follows:

USBDevice {88BAE032-5A81-49f0-BC3D-A4FF138216D6}: IHVs must use this class for custom devices that do not belong to another class. This class is not used for USB host controllers and hubs.
USB {36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000}: IHVs must not use this class for their custom devices. This is reserved for USB host controllers and USB hubs.
