Otherwise, the repository will be ignored. If available, an older version of the failed index will be used. The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. The error still exists now I have upgradedĬould not download all repository indexes
Many thanks!! Upgrade worked fine on one machine (without Skype installed) but had Skype errors on the other machine (which has Skype installed) before upgrade began, though upgrade started automatically anyway despite red coloured warnings saying to change mirrors (I am using the default anyway) This behaviour was recreatable on all the computers that I upgrade to Mint 20.2 I guessing that any folder that contains many images, with longer file names that contain numbers, letters, and underscores, will create this issue. The files I noticed this behaviour with are images that have many words, and numbers, that are separated with under scores (_) in their file name.
If I open the same file, from a folder full of files that contain many other files, with long and complex file names, the Recent Files list is immediately fills with many items (possibly the names of the items in the folder?) and the Mint Menu’s shape will change (it becomes much wider). If I open a file with a long file name, from a folder that doesn’t contain a lot of files, it’ll appear in the Recent Files list as expected. At first I thought the menu was expanding to accommodate longer files names, but I found this to not be the case. If I clear my Recent Files, log out, and log back in again, the menu returns to its original size. There seems to be a bug with the Recent Files option in the Mint menu. Or leave a reply and we can help you from there. If the above does not work, try a third, perhaps more local, mirror.
Click refresh and Update Manager should offer an update of itself.
Once cache update is complete, close your Software Sources window and bring Update Manager forward. Click OK to update your APT cache.” Click OK and wait while your cache is updated thru your new mirror. Back to the Software Sources window, a notification should be visible: “Your configuration changed. For example, my original mirror was GigeNET, so I chose packages.linuxmint in lieu. Select a fast mirror that is different from your original choice, then click apply. Mintsources runs a speed check for your convenience. Next, click your Main mirror and verify the “Select a mirror” window opens. The Main (your linux mint installation) mirror is responsible for your mintupdate and mint-upgrade-info packages. If so, the right pane lists your mirrors. Make sure the Official Repositories tab is selected on the left pane. A new window labeled Software Sources is now available.
From the Update Manager’s menu bar, click Edit and select Software Sources. Changed it to another mirror and reaped the current mint-upgrade-info package (1.1.8).įirst, check your mirrors. My Main (ulyssa) mirror was Gigenet, which is slightly behind. Use CTRL+ALT+F7 or CTRL+ALT+F8 to get back to your session. This happens rarely, but if you ever got locked and were unable to log back in, switch to console with CTRL+ALT+F1, log in, and type “killall cinnamon-screensaver” (or “killall mate-screensaver” in MATE).If the latest versions of mintupdate and mint-upgrade-info are not yet available in your mirrors, switch to the default repositories.
If the upgrade is not available to you, check that you have the latest versions of mintupdate (5.7.3 or higher) and mint-upgrade-info (1.1.8 or higher) and restart the Update Manager by launching it again from the applications menu.Once the upgrade is finished, reboot your computer. To convert your system, open a terminal and type: apt install usrmerge This is done already for all fresh installations of Linux Mint 20.1 and 20.2. We recommend you convert your system with usrmerge. If asked whether to keep or replace configuration files, choose to replace them.
