Hi,

In an effort to support a wider variety of hardware within the 12.04 Ubuntu
LTS release, the 12.04.2 and newer point releases in Precise shipped with
hardware enablement stacks composed of updated kernels and graphics stacks.
The intention has always been for these hardware enablement stacks to only
remain supported until the introduction of the kernel and graphics stack
derived from 14.04. On August 7, 2014, the 5th and final point release for
12.04 (ie. 12.04.5) will deliver the kernel and graphics stack derived from
14.04. At that time, security updates and bug fixes for older hardware
enablement stacks will no longer be provided. All users of older hardware
enablement stacks will be encouraged to update to the 12.04.5 hardware
enablement stack or fully upgrade to 14.04 proper. For any 12.04 HWE stack
users interested in making this migration prior to the August 7, 2014
deadline, we have provided a mechanism to assist with this process. First,
please ensure your system is up to date with the latest package updates for
Precise. Then, run the command below and follow the instructions which are
output:

hwe-support-status --verbose

For further information and details, please see:

Thanks,
Leann Ogasawara
