Thanks for your caution. I did upgrade PC1 via a clean install and that was no problem; maybe I'll do likewise with PC2.
Thanks to all the commentators.

Re: can't upgrade LM20
Many thanks, sudo apt update resolved the problem of "failure to download repository information".
That's now OK, but I'm still stuck on LM20. I've tried refreshing Update Manager, but the Edit doesn't show any option to upgrade to LM21.

Re: can't upgrade LM20
I've tried different mirrors in UK and Europe and one US.
Even though I check with the mirror speed that there is a good internet connection for my chosen mirror, I still get the same result "failed to download repository information".

can't upgrade LM20
I've 2 PCs: one (PC1) upgraded a while ago via 20.1=>20.3=>21.1; the other (PC2) I've only recently tried to update the same way, but I get stuck after 20.1=>20.3. I can't update Update Manager on PC2. When I use Software Sources to try a different mirror and click to update APT cache, I get "f...

Re: URGENT: Login now refuses to recognise PWD since updating>
I tried with and without caps lock to no avail. One thing I've noticed is that the login addresses me as "Doug", which has not been my current name since installing Mint 20.1, when I mistakenly typed "dougd". "dougd" has been my name until this last episode. At some sta...

URGENT: Login now refuses to recognise PWD since updating>
After downloading and installing the updates recommended for Mint 20.1 through the update manager in the usual way, Update Manager told me to reboot, which I did. Now on booting up I get to the request for my login password, but login keeps telling me my password is invalid, whatever variation I've ...

Re: installing LMDE4 fron live CD
Is there anything I can take from a Mint 20 installation on another desktop, a machine identical (apart from OS) to this one?

Re: installing LMDE4 fron live CD
I tried the experiment of booting LMDE3 from live DVD. To my surprise I was able to install LMDE3 on this machine, so I suppose it's the regressions introduced by going from LMDE3->LMDE4 that have made the LMDE4 disc unbootable. However, LMDE3 installed without graphics drivers, giving a poor defini...

Re: installing LMDE4 fron live CD
I followed your instructions (with slight modification) to get to the line under the menu, inserted 'nomodeset', then F10 to start ('Enter' just added a newline to the line). After a good deal of CD/DVD reader activity it went quiet and the screen went blank with the blinking cursor top left. What d...

Re: installing LMDE4 fron live CD
Thanks for your comments. Can I check with you the steps you're advising? (1) Start from live DVD in compatibility mode. If necessary, using 'nomodeset' option from DVD (2) install LMDE4 at low resolution (3) in LMDE4 choose and update to latest kernel (>=5.6) (4) install amdgpu (5) reboot and reset...
