Some computers have too little horsepower or memory. A rule of thumb is that the computer should not be more than 10 years old. === Memory (RAM) === For advanced internet services like Google+, You``Tube, Google Drive, and Facebook, your computer needs at least 1 GB of RAM. For local programs like Libre``Office and simple browsing habits, your computer needs at least 512 MB of RAM. === Processor (CPU) === The minimum specification for CPU is Pentium 4 or Pentium M or AMD K8. Older processors are too slow and the AMD K7 has problems with Flash video. == Upgrade == * To upgrade from Lubuntu 16.04 LTS, read [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/#Upgrading_from_last_release|our instructions for doing so]]. == Ubuntu Release notes == * For a full list of issues and features common to Ubuntu, please refer to the [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YakketyYak/ReleaseNotes | Ubuntu release notes]]. = Known Problems = == Common Infrastructure == For bugs affecting all flavors, please refer to the [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YakketyYak/ReleaseNotes | Ubuntu release notes]]. == Lubuntu Applications == This is our list of known bugs affecting applications that Lubuntu uses but relies on others to maintain. * gnumeric menu ->help ->about gnumeric -> license button, does not work.
