Ubuntu 24.10 Oracular Oriole becomes EOL

Ubuntu 24.10 Oracular Oriole, which was released on October 2024, has now reached a stage where no updates for it will be made. This means that Canonical won’t make any more updates to this version of the operating system.

Today, we are sad to announce that Ubuntu 24.10 Oracular Oriole has become EOL, which summarizes the points above. After today, there will be no more official support, package updates, and security updates. You’ll have to upgrade your system if you want to continue receiving support and package updates.

We recommend upgrading your system to Ubuntu 25.04 Plucky Puffin, but that, too, will be obsolete in the next six months, beginning January 2026. Due to this, you’ll have to upgrade to that first, then wait for Ubuntu 25.10 to be released to be able to upgrade to the next LTS version, which will be released next April.

Upgrades to Ubuntu 25.04 Plucky Puffin are suspended

The Ubuntu release team have identified some of the issues that may affect all Ubuntu upgrades from the Oracular Oriole, which is a 20th year anniversary version of Ubuntu when it was unveiled back in 2004, to the Plucky Puffin that was released a week ago. The following issues were discovered:

• upgrades to plucky incorrectly remove foreign packages from disabled sources
• Kubuntu 24.10 do-release-upgrade and Steam (or other) dependencies installed produces not booting desktop
• Ubuntu Studio failed to upgrade Oracular → Plucky
• ubuntu-release-upgrader Qt interface Qt6 incompatibility

The release team have decided to halt all upgrades to the Plucky Puffin while the following critical issues mentioned above are being investigated. Once they are fixed, users can upgrade to Ubuntu 25.04 again. This is done as a safety measure to avoid people having to deal with critical bugs like these after the upgrade.
