 + 
 +That's all. 
 +This [[https://​lbry.tv/​@ufficiozero:​f/​2021-01-26-09-41-54:​5|video]] shows how to upgrade your system from Mantova 2.0.1 to Mantova 2.0.3 
 + 
 +===== Mantova 2.0.3 and update-icon-notifier ===== 
 +Our latest version comes with our remote repository. We have deployed ufficiozero-patches-dummy package that remove simple-update and install update-icon-notifier. So if you want to receive this patch you can run Synaptic, reload, mark updates and apply them. 
 +Update-icon-notifier advice you when some packages may be updated, but you must run Synaptic to update your system. 
 + 
 +PS. the package called ufficiozero-patches-dummy install also blueman to use bluetooth, so if you have any error refered to download folder you can run dconf and go in org/​blueman/​transfer,​ open transfer and select your prefered path 
 + 
 +===== How to add others UfficioZero repositories ===== 
 + 
 +We have released new package that add many other repositories located everywhere, due to bandwith limit on our servers. 
 + 
 +To use Garr mirror (located in Italy) by default, you can select the replace button when asked, during the system update. 
 + 
 +===== End Of Life ===== 
 + 
 + 
 +To offer a better service to users who are using the Mantova 2.0.x version we have decided to release some updates to make the switch to the latest version of Bergamo available. 
 +By carrying out the proposed updates you will gradually pass to the latest Bergamo version. 
 +These updates will impact the graphics related to the new wallpaper, grub and splashscreen without removing software installed by users. 
 +The end of support for the Mantova 2.0.3 version is set for December 31, 2021. 
 +Users who do not want to make the switch to the latest Bergamo version can deselect the update of the package proposed apt-sources-list through synaptic and continue to benefit only from the support of the packages released by the PCLinuxOS team, but we strongly recommend carrying out the various updates to have a rolling release always updated with our packages. 
 + 
 +In alternative We offer the extension of support for another 6 months but the procedure to do is this: 
 +   * open Synaptic and remove the package called gfxboot-theme-pclinuxos 
 +   * in Synaptic search and install the package called gfxboot-theme-ufficiozero 
 +   * upgrade your system with proposed updates 
 + 
 +otherwise the system will no longer have the tool "​configure your pc" working. 
 +===== Kernel installation and dkms driver build change ===== 
 + 
 +Today'​s updates will include a change in the way synaptic installs kernels in the main software section for PCLinuxOS (Bergamo/​Mantova versions). If there are any additional kernel drivers such as the nvidia driver or the broadcom driver that needs to be built then it will do it during the synaptic kernel installation phase instead of building them on first boot of the new kernel. Please allow synaptic to complete the transaction. There may be a way to fork the kernel driver build process into a separate window so that synaptic does not appear to be hung up.
