Re: Mintupdate for Ubuntu
Easiest is to go into your perferred Ubuntu OS and add the Mint Repros to their sources.list
In the terminal, type: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Then, add:
Then > sudo apt-get update
After all this is done, you can go into the Synaptic Package Manager and add whichever Mint Apps/Tools you want.
In the terminal, type: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Then, add:
Code: Select all
deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian main import backport
After all this is done, you can go into the Synaptic Package Manager and add whichever Mint Apps/Tools you want.

Re: Mintupdate for Ubuntu
Guys, at the moment I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 and wanted to use Mintupdate on autostart, but the icon doesn't show up. I used the proper command as seen on Mint, which is "mintupdate-launcher" added to startup apps, but the icon doesn't appear in the tray. Any ideas?

Re: Mintupdate for Ubuntu
I can't understand why people are trying to shoehorn Mint features into Ubuntu when Linux Mint IS Ubuntu with all the Minty goodness already baked in. If you want MintUpdate in Ubuntu...use Linux Mint!
