Update Mint Mirrors to see new 21.3 Virginia

Post by Dullard du Jour »

The Update Manager would not show the 21.3 Virginia upgrade until I updated the Update Manager. Once that happened, I did a refresh and the update displayed for the new Mint-Mirror. Once the Mint Mirror was updated, 21.3 will appear in the Edit menu of the Update Manager as an upgrade.

I see it, but the wifi at Black Rifle is so slow this morning, I am going to wait to get home to do the update.

People can wait until the upgrade process is announced to upgrade. That will help reduce the clog on the servers.

Also, the update for the Mint mirrors is a separate update not related to the upgrade. I received the Mint mirrors package update on my LM20.3 install.

Not a problem, I can wait and give the servers some breathing room.

I frequently check for updates but this is the first I was offered the update to Update Manager, followed by the new Mint-Mirrors update. I assumed the mint-mirror update is for Virginia, why Update Manager update was offered now, I have no idea. I did use UM late last night and nothing was offered other than a firmware and browser update. However, I do have Update Manager set to only announce security and kernel updates.

I had updates for both as well on LM20.3. I didn't check to see what was updated in Update Manager for me.

I know there have been recent requests to provide a mirror so that file is updated every once in a while anyhow as new mirrors are created and others no longer being offered.
