I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with an old disc and update it.
How can I get the new 12.04.4 LTS.
1 Answer
If you have applied all updates, through partial upgrade or not, you should have 12.04.4. Marc already said the commands you need:
sudo apt-get update # will fetch you new packages info
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade # will agressively upgrade all packages
After that, just remove old kernels and packages' config through Synaptic or Aptitude.

Open Synaptic and search for 3.2.0 inside Installed packages then remove kernel and headers with less release number. For example, you will find 3.2.0-15 and 3.2.0-37, you should remove first.– DanatelaFeb 27, 2014 at 10:19

And for config just open not installed (has configuration files), select all and remove totally.– DanatelaFeb 27, 2014 at 10:20

1OK. For Synaptic, open Terminal and write
sudo apt-get install synaptic
. Then open Dash and write Synaptic. There you will see five buttons on the left down corner and search field on top. Select the second button, which will lead you to the State tools. Then you can select installed packages and search for kernel. But it is recommended not to hurry up. Just play with interface and try to understand the package structure and principles.– DanatelaFeb 27, 2014 at 10:38
sudo apt-get update
and thensudo apt-get dist-upgrade
