updating...
I am running celena original version. I am still there because it all works... have seen stuff of mint update - but not sure where to find it on my computer - I looked all over. also - if I decide to update celena - wheher and how to update? to to Daryna - just update celena. also if there and I beleieve there are, multiple updates. then do they have to be added in order/sequence? or can you just jump to the last update?
sorry for this dumb and confusing set of questions.
p.s. if there is a glitch - anyway to go back without reloading everything?
thank you -

Aloha, Tim
Oh, and you can delete your own stuff, at least until someone replies to it. Just edit the message and check the Delete this message box.

While you're at it you should probably do these as well...
Mint Install v2.9:
http://www.linuxmint.com/repository/dar ... 9_i386.deb
Mint Desktop v1.6:
http://linuxmint.com/repository/daryna/ ... 6_i386.deb
Yes, these work in Celena.

Just click on the links and install them.
Mint Update will notify you when there are important updates. It defaults to only showing you updates that have been tested by the Mint team, so it is safer to use than Ubuntu's auto-update.
Mint Install is an improved version, as is Mint Desktop (it now includes a function to restore Mint artwork/splash screens)..

not sure if this was correct but did a search for mintupdate in synaptic and found both and deleted/removed. it said delete with confgi file or without even though I stated remove all completely - but decided not to mess with the config files. was that Ok? or the correct thing to do? or did I goof this up now?
thank you -
This is the frsutrating thing for me with linux. do not know ehat the hell i am doing or what the heck these things mean, etc.
:-0)))

The warning about the version is because these are actually from the Daryna repositories, but they are fine to run on Celena. Ive been using them for a while now and they work great. Clem posted these links and asked us to try these under Celena & Cassandra and then made a few improvements. They are fine to use. Relax.
Updates up to level 3 are considered safe. Mint update will not show you level 4 or 5 updates by default (unless you change the preferences). If you really want to be safe you can change the prefs to only show level 1 & 2, which are the updates that are thoroughly tested by Clem and team, but that will eliminate many of the Ubuntu security updates (which are important). I have Celena running with all updates up to level-3 with no problems.
I also have a Cassandra system will ALL updates, including level 4 & 5 with no problems either. But to be safe stick to the defaults of level 1-3 updates.

Tim, after pondering this situation I loaded everything as you stated in order that you provided. I am trying to figure out the preferneces for level 1 nad 2 - there are 88 plus at level 3.
if it breaks - you help me fix this.
edit:
ok - level 1&2 and no updates. the first time it ran it said updates broken....
2nd time ok - but no updates. system OK.
Thank you Tim!!!

it seems like everytime I start my laptop up this mint update lock appears and blinks like there is an update - however - nothing happens - the system is Ok and there are no updates. Why does this happen? can I shut this off? this is weird - it should appear 1x a week or month or else whenever an update is there. not when there is nothing available. I have level 1 and 2 on and 3-5 off.
thanks.
thanks.
