(SOLVED)mintUpdate error?
currently running LMDE without a problem until today when I updated "mintUpdate from 4.2.0 to 4.2.1. Now I get a red "x" on the mintUpdate shield (could not refresh list of packages). How do I fix this error? I believe the attached screenshot may be related to the error.... help.

Re: mintUpdate error?
I can see from your attached pic that it has to do with playonlinux and the squeeze distribution, the failed to fetch has to do with the playonlinux web address . . . I don't use playonlnux, but I suggest that you try to find the proper address and replace the wrong one in your sources list file . . and add the proper gpg key while you are at it.
good luck.
good luck.
Re: mintUpdate error?
Is the PlayOnLinux error related to my mintUpdate error? Can the PlayOnLinux update check be disabled or ignored somehow?

Right Click on the Shield and edit your preferences. Third-Party Software I believe. Select the PlayonLinux Entry, then edit. Put # in front of the address.kbkatz1 wrote:Can the PlayOnLinux update check be disabled or ignored somehow?
I'm pretty sure this is how you would adjust it. There is a Terminal Way as well, and I'm sure some one will let you know before too long.
Good Luck,
Dave

Re: mintUpdate error?
@Dave68, I tried your method, it didn't work.
I went through Synaptic Package Manager and tried to "Remove" and/or Uncheck "http://deb.playonlinux.com/squeeze (Source Code), unfortunately I couldn't effectively uncheck, edit, or remove it.
