Already a week after its launch, it is time to publish some numbers about Ubuntu and its latest operating system, a Ubuntu LTS 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) that comes with some interesting new features, such as compatibility with snap packages or support for the ZFS and CephFS file systems. Part of the numbers (actually most) the published Dustin Kirkland in an entry on his personal blog and you have the full list after the cut.

Hello friends. Again here with a beginner's doubt. I have updated Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04, everything perfect. I have installed Caliber and the external device where I have the library does not recognize me. I have tried with an older version of Caliber and nothing. The device external is one of these 1t hard drives and with Ubuntu 14.04 it never failed me.
I do not know what else to do.
Thanks and regards.
