LMDE Update Pack 5 is now available

As advertised in the official blog of Linux Mint, Update Pack 5 de LMDE it is already available for use, but with some drawbacks.

First of all, if you are using ATI proprietary drivers (fglrx) you better forget this post and dedicate your time to something else, because it is almost certain that you can present serious problems if you update.

In the original entry they offer us some caveats:

  • It is not safe to update for now if you are using the proprietary ATI fglrx drivers
  • Currently it is safe to update from the following mirror only: debian.linuxmint.com.
  • To change the mirror to use, you must also take into account a couple of things, first that they have installed "mint-debian-mirrors" and then, they must open a terminal and put mint-choose-debian-mirror.
  • Be sure to read http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest/update-pack.html
  • If you experience any problems or if you are going through the update at this time, feel free to connect to the IRC chat room (irc.spotchat.org, # linuxmint-debian).

And that's how things are. If all goes well, we may soon have an iso with the Update Pack 5 included.
