I understand your position, I just wanted to answer your question fully and give you our issues. These servers aren't going away until 18.04.01 is out and stable. The issue for us in particular was that we have OwnCloud Desktop running on a handful of our 14.04 servers acting as gateways between OwnCloud and other technologies such as Dropbox that our clients use. Any of our old 14.04 desktops can probably be updated as they are mostly shared devices. In reality you are right that most of our desktops are on 16.04 as we use them every day and like to rebuild each two years when xx.04.1 LTS comes out to get the shiny shiny. If anything is still in service after four years then we have a year to rebuild the server on the latest LTS release, therefore skipping an LTS release. Like desktop version, Dropbox cli version is also available for both 32 and 64 bit editions. As such we only care about 14.04, 16.04 and 18.04.Īny new severs/desktops get the latest LTS release (although we usually wait until xx.04.1 for new releases for them to fix any bugs) and most kit is depreciated over three years. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deluge-team/ppa (Ubuntu repository has own version so this might be skipped) sudo apt-get update Upgrade stuff: sudo apt-get upgrade Install stuff: sudo apt-get install kodi sudo apt-get install kodi-pvr-iptvsimple sudo apt-get install nautilus-dropbox (or download Ubuntu package from dropbox and install it with gdebi).

We don't touch anything OS that isn't an LTS release. In this quick tip, I am going to show you how to get the missing Dropbox applet indicator back in Ubuntu 14.10. I feel our policy regarding both servers and desktop is the same as many other organisations.
