Get Ubuntu 14.04
Upgrading from Ubuntu 13.10
To upgrade from Ubuntu 13.10 on a desktop system:
- Open Software Sources.
- Press Alt+F2 and type in "update-manager" (without the quotes) into the command box.
- Update Manager should open up and tell you: New distribution release '14.04' is available.
- Click Upgrade and follow the on-screen instructions.
To upgrade from Ubuntu 13.10 on a server system:
Install the update-manager-core package if it is not already installed.
Launch the upgrade tool with the command sudo do-release-upgrade.
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
Note that the server upgrade will use GNU screen and automatically re-attach in case of dropped connection problems.
Offline upgrade options via alternate CDs are no longer offered for Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Server. Please ensure you have network connectivity to one of the official mirrors or to a locally accessible mirror and follow the instructions above.
Support lifespan
Ubuntu 14.04 will be supported for 5 years for Ubuntu Desktop, Ubuntu Server, Ubuntu Core, and Kubuntu. All other flavours will be supported for 3 years.

New features in 14.04
Please see the Trusty blueprint list for details.
Please test and report any bugs you find:
Updated Packages
As with every new release, packages--applications and software of all kinds--are being updated at a rapid pace. Many of these packages came from an automatic sync from Debian's unstable branch; others have been explicitly pulled in for Ubuntu 14.04.
For a list of all packages being accepted for Ubuntu 14.04, please subscribe to trusty-changes.
Linux kernel 3.13
Ubuntu 14.04 includes the 3.13.0-19.39 Ubuntu Linux kernel which was based on the v3.13.6 upstream Linux kernel.
Python 3.4
We eventually intend to ship only Python 3 with the Ubuntu desktop image, not Python 2. The Ubuntu 14.04 image continues this process, although we will not be able to convert everything to Python 3 for the Ubuntu 14.04 release.
If you have your own programs based on Python 2, fear not! Python 2 will continue to be available (as the python package) for the foreseeable future. However, to best support future versions of Ubuntu you should consider porting your code to Python 3. Python/3 has some advice and resources on this.
Ubuntu
Upstart 1.12.1
Upstart has been upgraded to version 1.12.1. More details are available in the Upstart Technical Overview.
Ubuntu Server
Puppet 3
Ubuntu 14.04 includes Puppet 3. This is a major version upgrade from previous Ubuntu LTS releases and includes many changes which are not compatible with Puppet 2.7.x.
Please review the upstream release notes to determine which breaking changes apply to your installation.

Known issues
As is to be expected, at this stage of the release process, there are some significant known bugs that users may run into with this release of Ubuntu 14.04. The ones we know about at this point (and some of the workarounds), are documented here so you don't need to spend time reporting these bugs again:
Boot, installation and post-install
The desktop image installer cannot unlock existing encrypted (LUKS) volumes. If you need to make use of existing encrypted volumes during partitioning, then use the "Try Ubuntu without installing" boot option to start a live session, open the encrypted volumes (for example, by clicking on their icons in the Unity launcher), enter your password when prompted to unlock them, close them again, and run ubiquity to start the installer. (1066480)
When using installer to upgrade or reinstall an existing installation with encrypted swap, the installer may fail to reuse the partition. A warning will be shown, however the installation can be completed. The installed system will not have swap activated and users are advised to recreate swap on their systems. Please see advice about adding and activating swap at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq (1172002)
Installs on very small memory systems may fail to start or exit without completing with no error. It is recommended that swap be created before install for such systems. Please see advice about adding and activating swap at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq (1172161)
In rare circumstances the 'Next' button on the installer 'Install Type' screen is non-functional. This is intermittent and may be resolved by hitting 'Back' and retrying. (1172572)
On some systems, after installation, pressing 'Enter' doesn't reboot the system and a hard reset is required (1297851)
Live session starts with keyboard set to English US and time zone as UTC even if non-english languages are selected (1297234)
Upgrade
During upgrades from 12.04 LTS in graphical mode (with update-manager -d) prompts are displayed in the terminal window of the upgrader. To proceed with the upgrade, read the question and if you agree, click in the terminal window of the upgrader, press the 'Tab' key until the focus in on '<Ok>' and validate with 'Enter' (1298281)
Power Management
On some systems, when opening lid, there is a kerneloops with a suspend/resume failure message seen. (1054732)
Migration
Graphics and Display
Networking
In order to improve compatibility with other local nameserver packages, NetworkManager now assigns IP address 127.0.1.1 to the local nameserver process that it controls instead of 127.0.0.1. If the system's /etc/resolv.conf is absent or is a static file instead of the symbolic link to ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf installed by default then this static file will have to be updated by the administrator in order to continue using the NetworkManager-controlled nameserver.
AppArmor
The major tools in apparmor-utils AppArmor 2.8.95 have been rewritten to improve maintainability. While this allows us to better support them and add fixes going forward, currently the aa-genprof and aa-logprof CLI tools contain several bugs (1294797, 1294819, 1294825, 1295346, 1296218) that affect their utility. These bugs should be fixed before release or in an SRU. It is recommended that people develop policy manually at this time.
