as you can see by the scripting above, I cannot install xutils (also xutils-dev). I need them and your repository ppa is not working on server IP: 91.189.92.202 80

This is affecting synaptic and apt-get. It is preventing software updates on other fronts as well. it's been an ONGOING ISSUE FOR MONTHS from looking at trouble tickets started on the ubuntu forum. This is unacceptable.

I am trying to install xutils because I have an HP TC4400 and when I have the screen rotated 90 degrees left or right when the laptop is in tablet mode, I need xutils-dev because xrandr-align needs a dependency from that package to align my stylus with the screen. Please fix this!!!! If this continues, I'm going to have to find another linux distro that works. This is too bad because it is really the only issue I have with Mint. . . . . .

if that ppa is no longer being supported, what is the address for it's replacement repository (if there is one)?

thanks,
Brian

From your output is seems you are running Linux Mint 10 Julia, which is based on Ubuntu Maverick. Note that both of those releases have been obsoleted as of April 2012. Ubuntu is removing the Maverick repositories now, so you get these errors. Please consider upgrading to a newer Linux Mint release.

For some more background, see my answer here to another user with the same problem: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... 82#p668538

Okay, I know that Julia is obsoleted however, Linux Mint also contradicts you by saying that I don't have to reinstall an upgraded version because Mint is a "rolling upgradable system" and doesn't require it. So, if Julia isn't "supported" then how do I upgrade to the latest version? My computer does not have a cd rom, so can I download a live version and boot from an SD card and upgrade to the latest Mint version and not loose my data on my computer?

Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) is a rolling upgradeable system. But you aren't running LMDE, you are running Linux Mint Main Edition, release 10, aka Julia.

How to upgrade to a newer release: http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/2

You may alternatively use Plop Boot Manager, which will let you boot the Linux Mint ISO from any medium. http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanagers.html

Okay, but what if i am happy with everything else except for the fact that I can seem to get an updated package file for xutils and xutils-dev. I don't really want to have to do a frest install yet. my computer is old and has a unique hardware setup with the folding Tablet monitor and stylus. The necessary package dependencies for my xrandr-align are in xutils and I can't seem to get the updated packages even though apt-get points to it (the repository being obsoleted by ubuntu).

is there a link to a repository that is compatible with Julia Mint 10 that has xutils package on it? If so, that's really the only thing I need,
Thanks

Julia bases on Ubuntu Maverick, so the next tip may help you?

One other option to try (although the reason I use distros is so I don't have to do this) is search out the apprpriate source code for the packages you need, then build them on your own system and install them that way.

I've been doing that all afternoon, but I've downloaded eleven tarballs so far and compiled and installed the various requirments but when I get down to installing the tarball for xrandr-align i get the error that the xorg-utils-macro-1.0.3 isn't present (something along those lines.) So I will continue to try. I'm stubborn, I'm not an easy one to give up!

if you have suggestions as to where there is a repository that has xutils for another distro in its list of packages, would someone post it here as a hyperlink??

If I am having this issue, there is a chance someone else might be having it too.. . . . .

thanks

Instructions for updating util-macros for Lucid is in part II. b) of the BambooPT HOW TO: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=110408 Should work for Maverick too but Maverick already has util-macros-1.8.0. So maybe you've got the wrong version number? You can just change to a newer version like 1.9.0, if thats what's needed, by looking at: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/util/ and just modifying the instructions with needed version number.
