Thanks mood.
Not sure why we have to find out this way that an update is available - unless I'm doing something wrong.
When I checked my Update Manager there it was hidden in the Edit.
But, as with any update, I'll give it 30 days - to be sure, to be sure.

 

Just upgraded two computers. No problems.

 

It doesn't look like it is offered here as yet.

 

Do all the 20.1 updates then check the Edit menu.

 

It seems as if it shows up [eventually] in the System Report link on the bottom toolbar.

 

Thanks, that what I said

 

You did too.

 

My machine says it is up to date in Updater Manager and there is nothing in System Report.

 

Are you using the default update servers? I noticed the Australian servers were days behind the default servers.

 

I'm using the Aussie servers. I'll change that and try again shortly.

 

That did the trick! Updating now.

Yeah, it was buried under the 'Edit' menu. Thanks @longshots . I wouldn't have thought to look there.

How to upgrade to Linux Mint 20.2

 

Just upgraded to 20.2 from update manager. Went smooth as silk!

 

I couldn't open Update Manager earlier today and just got around to checking the logs... and there are quite a few. For example, this one below showing just the 'Important' logs since last reboot.

Are these anything to be concerned about?

 

Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu LTS. Updates correspond to Ubuntu LTS point releases.

 

Just upgraded a server from 19.3 to 20 to 20.2. It took 2 days to do this process including OS updates, MySQL updates and reconfiguration (getting mysqldump to continue working, turning off the column statistics feature that is not supported in the source database), Python updates, and Python script changes (now calling python3 instead of python, correcting errors that were in the script that were ignored by the previous version that crashed after the update) to get everything working. Inheriting someone else's handywork is never fun but unavoidable. Despite all of that, it is up and running fine. Now I don't have to worry about what happens when 19.3 goes out of support.
