Hi, how are you?
Here is the output of the commands.
I startup the computer without the usb wifi adapter and run the commands.
Thanks!

, and 10.04 will 0nly be supported until April.

Hi wildmanne,

Are you sure about that April date? My understanding is that 10.04.3 LTS means "Long Term Support" (a HUGE portion of the reason(s) why I prefer it). Well that and the fact that I CAN'T STAND Unity (and Win7/8 or Macintoshes- but that's mostly because of that old single button mouse thing from years ago ).

Anyway- this looks like a Desktop ~2013.3 - Server ~2015.4 to me:
LTS


https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS?action=A...se-cycle-2.png

$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=lucid
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS"

Please advise- this concerns me greatly (in fact I had a little bit of a long distance phone 'argument' with my step-brother about what "LTS" means in an Ubuntu context), but he likes that "bleeding edge" [read broken IMHO] stuff so whaddya do?

Also, if you have lots of spare time and want to scratch the hair off your head a little bit, I'm having a bit of a Broadcom 4318, 4321, "wl" firmware mystery here:

I'm wondering if those Ubuntu 11.xx kernels have been changed considerably in their Broadcom driver regions...

Hi northd_tech, you are correct, I thought 10.04 support was ending in April 2012 but it looks like it is 2013 and server support is 2015.
Here is a link.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS

It looks like you got your wireless issue resolved, Good Work!!!

I am not on much right now I am writing a guide for ubuntu.

Here is a chart showing the support dates

Responded a little slow!
