Wesley, I beg to differ with your conclusion. You've completely misunderstood the whole point of the person who posted this bug. And no I do not think this bug should be closed.
----------------------------------------------------- This bug does effect me, and before I even was aware of this bug entry I had to post a question in the Ubuntu forums to find out if Ubuntu notifies the user when support for a release has ended. Surprisingly, very few people understood why this is necessary. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1394262 When you are dealing with people that are not very computer literate, things need to be obvious and easy. Normal every day Joe Schmoe is not going to sift through the Ubuntu forums and launchpad for answers. Hell, even "Windows Update" notifies the user when the operating system has reached the end of its supported life. Ubuntu is for everyone, and needs to be easy to use. If you want a difficult Linux distro to use, well there is plenty of other options out there. I don't suspect that this problem would be all that difficult to correct. That's my two cents. :) -- When a release reaches End-of-Life, update manager should show EoL status and provide a link with working procedures and more information. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/319146 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
