The operating system version Cubbli 24 (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS) will be installed on the university’s new Cubbli computers (new staff computers and freshman laptops) starting from August 2024. In the autumn, the Cubbli 24 update will also be made available for other university Cubbli computers covered by warranty.
Translation by Delingua:
In autumn 2024, we will inform the students and employees of the university separately about the availability of the Cubbli 24 update for Cubbli computers already in use.
- If you have a university computer with the operating system version Cubbli 22, you do not need to do anything yet.
- If you are using a university computer with the operating system version Cubbli 20, be prepared to update your computer to the Cubbli 24 version as soon as possible after the update is available. Cubbli 20 will be definitively discontinued in 2025 May.
NB! If you are using an old Linux computer that is no longer centrally maintained by the University:
- Contact the person in charge of equipment purchases on your campus (e.g. the service coordinator). Support for Linux computers continues for 12 months from the warranty expiration date. You can check the warranty period in your University menu by clicking on Computer Info.
- If you will be getting a new computer, please read the instructions on computer purchases.
- If your computer will no longer be used by you, please also read the IT recycling instructions.
- The IT Center extends the useful life of the University’s IT equipment by approximately a third by recycling devices at a stage of their life cycle where they can be resold to the University’s IT recycling partner, 3 Step IT.
