Belay my previous message - just seen Errata etc that service is delayed
while v9 undergoes more testing .

I'm happy with that :)

There is no rush as v8 is working OK at the moment.

I hope that the support date for v8 is pushed back well into 2024 as three
months is no where long enough.

It's working for me.

Check in /etc/sysconfig/mgaapplet and ~/.MgaOnline/mgaonline (which if present
overrides the system level setting). Make sure it does not have
DO_NOT_ASK_FOR_DISTRO_UPGRADE=true

Then either logout/in or run "killall mgaapplet && mgaapplet &".

Note that it won't show the upgrade available if there are still updates to install.

Hmm, double check ---- nope SPU is empty.

Never mind - no rush.

Did you logout/in or manually restart mgaapplet?

Also, what does "urpmq --list-url|head -n 3" show?

Hmmm. Try creating a new user, logout and then in as that new user and see if it
shows for that user.

I manually added the mirror repos for Mageia 9 (as su):

# urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist
'http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.9.$ARCH.list'

And then tested if the M9 mirrors were indeed installed:

# inxi -r

PS: I had to wait almost a week, untill the local mirrors here in Europe
were up to date with Mageia 9. Then it took the usual two days before
the mgaaplet was activated with the message that the new distro M9 was
ready for install.

The speed of anything depends on the flow of everything.
