[SOLVED] Linux Mint 17.1 upgrade towards 17.2 PB

[Joe76000]

Hello Folks,

Despite I have made today all Level 1 updates (in fact 2) on my Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon 64-b as per this article: How to upgrade to Linux Mint 17.2 dated July 3rd, 2015, after a reboot and a new MintUpdate, I'm still under 17.1 and not 17.2!

Current versions are:
- Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon 64-bit
- Cinnamon = 2.4.8
- Kernel = 3.13.0-37-generic
- nVidia = 331.113
- mintUpdate = 4.9.2 (updated)
- mint-upgrade-info = 1.0.2 (updated)

Is this Mint upgrade procedure reliable?
Other people have the same issue?
What's wrong?

Thanks. Joe

I have found the beginning of an explanation:

Code: Select all

joe@joe-lmdv8 ~ $ inxi -r
Repos:     Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list
           deb http://packages.linuxmint.com rebecca main upstream import #id:linuxmint_main

The latest mintUpdate 4.9.2 (supposed to support 17.1 upgrade towrds 17.2) haven't changed rebecca to rafaela!

So, I made an "apt update" and verified again with an "inxi -r"

Code: Select all

joe@joe-lmdv8 ~ $ inxi -r
Repos:     Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list
           deb http://packages.linuxmint.com rebecca main upstream import #id:linuxmint_main
           deb http://extra.linuxmint.com rebecca main #id:linuxmint_extra
           deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty main restricted universe multiverse
           deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-updates main restricted universe multiverse
           deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security main restricted universe multiverse
           deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ trusty partner
joe@joe-lmdv8 ~ $ 

No change, still "rebecca" and not "rafaela"!
So, the Mint upgrade procedure is not reliable at all!

I read through all responses in this Mint blog: How to upgrade to Linux Mint 17.2 and I saw there is plenty of people not being able to upgrade from 17.1 to 17.2.
Unfortunately, there is no explanation from Mint why this is the case and what is the real fix!
So, the Mint upgrade procedure is not reliable at all!

It was my mistake!
I haven't see Clem's directive: "Launch the System Upgrade by clicking on “Edit->Upgrade to Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela”."!
Now, everything is okay and I'm under Rafaela.
What a pleasure...
