Ubuntu 19.10 (Eoan Ermine) reaches End of Life on July 17 2020

Ubuntu announced its 19.10 (Eoan Ermine) release almost 9 months
ago, on October 17, 2019, and its support period is now nearing its
end. Ubuntu 19.10 will reach end of life on Friday, July 17 2020.

At that time, Ubuntu Security Notices will no longer include
information or updated packages for Ubuntu 19.10.

The supported upgrade path from Ubuntu 19.10 is via Ubuntu 20.04.
Instructions and caveats for the upgrade may be found at:

Ubuntu 20.04 continues to be actively supported with security updates
and select high-impact bug fixes. Announcements of security updates
for Ubuntu releases are sent to the ubuntu-security-announce mailing
list, information about which may be found at:

Since its launch in October 2004 Ubuntu has become one of the most
highly regarded Linux distributions with millions of users in homes,
schools, businesses and governments around the world. Ubuntu is Open
Source software, costs nothing to download, and users are free to
customise or alter their software in order to meet their needs.
