Xubuntu 19.04 Release Notes
Dropping 32-bit Images
In December, the team voted to discontinue 32-bit images for Xubuntu 19.04 and forward. If you want to continue using Xubuntu with 32-bit architectures, Xubuntu 18.04 is supported for 3 years, and the Xubuntu package set can be installed from the Minimal CD.
Installer Issues
It must be noted that it is close to impossible for our small team of testers to be in a position to work through all the varying parameters available during installation. We do however aim to test all the possible methods of installation (including for OEM and using encryption) available either on a virtual machine or on hardware (where hardware has been used during testing then Xubuntu QA will where possible make that known on the iso testing tracker). Further installation testing information can be on the Ubuntu installation release note(s) listed below
- No restart after installation (1723760)
General Issues
- Network indicators
- Currently at times the panel could show 2 network icons, this appears to be a race condition which we have not been able to rectify in time for release.
- Panel
- Parole Media Player
- Ristretto: Thumbnail sidebar shows error icons instead of thumbnails for some images (1756191)
Ubuntu Generic Release Note
The main Ubuntu release note covers both many of the other packages we carry and more generic issues.
