LMDE Update Pack 6 rilasciato

Dicembre 19, 2012 Marco Giannini

Il team di Linux Mint ha appena rilasciato il LMDE Update Pack 6 ovvero il sesto service pack di Linux Mint.

Ecco le istruzioni su come effettuare l’upgrade.

1. Make sure your mirror is up-to-date

It is not safe to upgrade any package unless your mirror points to UP6

Here is the current status of the LMDE mirrors:

UP6:

http://debian.linuxmint.com/

http://mirror.rts-informatique.fr/linuxmint/debian/

http://debian.lth.se/lmde/

http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/debian.linuxmint.com/debian/

UP5:

http://lmde-mirror.gwendallebihan.net/

http://lmde-mirror-fr-1.wedrop.it/

http://tux.rainside.sk/mint/debian/

http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/linuxmint-debian/

http://mirror.metrocast.net/linuxmint-debian/

To select another mirror:

Make sure “mint-debian-mirrors” is installed

Open a terminal and run the following command: mint-choose-debian-mirror

2. Check your APT sources

In the Update Manager, click on the “Update Pack Info” button

Make sure “Your system configuration” shows up as green and doesn’t show any warnings or errors.

If you see a warning or an error, follow the instructions given and repeat the process until they’re gone.

3. Read about the Update Pack

In the “Update Pack Info” window of the Update Manager, make sure to
read all the information related to Update Pack 6. Some of it might be
irrelevant to you, but it will only take you a minute and it might save
you hours.

4. Upgrade the packages

When you’re ready and you know all that there is to know, press the “Install Updates” button.

During the update you’ll be asked a few things. One is quite
important.. the new kernel will ask you where to install Grub. Answer
with the location of your current Grub menu (which on most systems is “/dev/sda“).
