This point release combines all the bug fixes, app updates, and security patches issued to 18.04 so far
Point releases are available for other flavors of Ubuntu too, including Ubuntu Budgie and Ubuntu MATE.
Freshly spun ISOs aside, the arrival of Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS also marks the point at which users of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) will begin to see an Ubuntu 18.04 upgrade notification.
Until now users on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS who wanted to upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS had to do so manually via an opt-in in the Software & Updates tool. As of today that effort is no longer necessary.
Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Changes
Point releases do not bring major new features, but they do bring convenience. They integrate all the various updates, patches and tweaks issued to date into a neat, new and easily deployable image.
Among those fixes you’ll find:
- Better metric collection in Ubuntu Report
- Support for installing on NVMe with RAID1
- Fix for a typo that made update-manager report crash
- Misc unattended-upgrade fixes
- Ubuntu welcome tool now mentions dock and notifications
- Patches to make audio work on Lenovo machines with dual audio codecs
- Restore New Tab menu item in GNOME Terminal
- New “Thunderbolt” panel in Settings app
Refer to the full changes summary for a dizzying amount of detail on these changes and more, and take note of the Ubuntu security notices up to July 24.
Upgrade Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04? Be Careful!
If you plan to upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04 from 16.04 you better brace yourself for change
With the arrival of the point release comes the opportunity to upgrade from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS to 18.04 LTS.
If you intend to take advantage of this option then please brace yourself for change. Do not click “upgrade” idly.

- Linux Kernel 4.15
- Support for Thunderbolt 3
- Night Light feature

Check out our list of Things to Do After Installing Ubuntu 18.04
Why was there a delay?
Ubuntu LTS releases are the most widely used versions of Ubuntu, with tens of millions of users relying on them around the world.
The three-month buffer period between the first release of a LTS (April) and the first point release (July) lets Ubuntu developers tackle any last-minute bugs and iron out previously unknown issues.
This helps to make sure that all 16.04 to 18.04 upgrades go as smoothly as possible and are as stable as possible — a key concern for those who choose to use a LTS release in the first place.
Do I need to upgrade if I’m already running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS?
Did you upgrade or install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS earlier this year? If so, you do not need to do anything to “get” this release because, technically, you already have it!
If you’re running Ubuntu 18.04 already you do not need to upgrade (because there’s nothing to upgrade to)
Provided you have installed any and all updates as and when released you are in effect bang up to date.
There are no major differences between the version you’re running and the version just released (though those who install using the new ISO will see a 16.0.4.1 version number shown in the system settings > details panel).
Is there a new kernel version?
In addition to the convenience of not having to install oodles of updates after install, Ubuntu point releases often include a new Hardware Enablement stack (HWE).
Point releases often feature an updated Linux kernel and graphics stack – but this one doesn’t
The HWE combines an updated graphics stack (handy if you’re a gamer) with a more recent Linux kernel version. This allows the OS stay to compatible with newer hardware and technologies for the duration of its five-year lifecycle.
However, the first point release (i.e. this one) does not include a HWE. Ubuntu 18.04.1 ships with the same Linux kernel and xserver as the initial release back in April.
Ubuntu Linux 18.04 Iso
Ubuntu 18.04.2 due in February 2019 will bring a new hardware enablement stack with it, derived from Ubuntu 18.10.

0As of 18.04, 32-bit versions of Ubuntu are no longer available for download. However, the default Ubuntu desktop can be installed on any Ubuntu Flavor, most of which still provide 32-bit downloads:
Downloads may also be found at the following links:
The 32 bit version files end in
xiotaxiota-i386.iso
. The 64 bit versions, which run on both AMD and Intel CPUs, end in -amd64.iso

You can download a 32-bit version of the Ubuntu
mini.iso
file of all current versions, also 18.04 LTS.- If you install the program package
ubuntu-desktop
into this system (during or after installing the minimal ubuntu system), you will get Ubuntu with its standard desktop. But since it is not part of the official releases, it is not debugged, and there may be things that do not work correctly. - If you have an old computer with a 32-bit system, you will probably get better performance with a community flavour with a light desktop environment,
- Lubuntu
- Ubuntu Budgie
- Ubuntu MATE
- Xubuntu
and these community flavours provide 32-bit iso files.
