Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

A step-by-step tutorial for deploying Nagios Core on an Ubuntu virtual private server has been published, covering system preparation, web access setup, plugins, and host and service configuration through to security hardening. The commands target Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, with notes that they work similarly on 20.04 and 24.04, giving administrators a practical open-source server monitoring option.

Ubuntu users are discussing reports that systems running the 24.04 LTS release can no longer boot after a crash and subsequent cold start. The topic is being raised on the German-language ubuntuusers forum, where users seek help diagnosing and repairing installations that suddenly become unbootable. Replies typically cover recovery options such as live media, filesystem checks and GRUB repairs.

Canonical has opened the upgrade path from Ubuntu 24.04 LTS to Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, and guides are circulating explaining how to perform the update. The news is drawing attention across the Linux and open source community, with users of the long-term support release discussing the steps and what the newer version brings.

Canonical has opened the official upgrade path from Ubuntu 24.04 LTS to the new Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS, the first point release of the latest long-term support series. Users on the previous LTS can now move up through the standard update tools, with the first point release typically marking the moment upgrades are recommended for general use. Sysadmins and Linux users are being alerted to the change.

Canonical has enabled upgrade paths from Ubuntu 24.04 LTS to Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS, with the rollout starting gradually through the Update Manager. Users on the previous long-term support release will see the offer appear progressively rather than all at once, a standard practice that lets Canonical monitor for problems. The move matters to millions of LTS users weighing when to move to the newer release.
