Hi All,
Okay, maybe I am blind, but where is the sources, repository or whatever it is that you call?
In Ubuntu, where I am migrating from, it was in the menu somewhere, and you could go in and add repositorys to it, but in Mint??????
This should be an easy one........hopefully.......
Thanks

Okay, second part....
I installed, got it in the menu, restarted the computer, opened the menu, clicked on it, it asked for the password, and..........nothing. The program did not start?? Now what?

Thanks

The software does not work with Felicia. You have to uninstall it and use Synaptic's 'vanilla' repositories list editor or create a shortcut to this command:

Code: Select all

gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

What do you mean "vanilla" repos? and when when you say "or create a shortcut" what do you mean? I already have it in the menu, it just does not launch. Can you clear this up a little for me please?

software-properties-gtk does not work with Felicia, you have to uninstall it.

Synaptic (Package Manager) > Settings > Repositories is the vanilla repository list editor. I do not know how to simplify 'create a shortcut'. You see 'Create launcher...' when you right-click on your desktop, right?

Okay, so I did all this. I checked off the extra ones in the repos, and most, not all, failed? Why is that? Is this a bug? Or something that I have to do somewhere else?
