Bob,
if you are following the default repos, there was no change at all

Code: Select all

deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian main upstream import
deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest testing main contrib non-free
deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest/security testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest/multimedia testing main non-free
but i probably should ask first what repos you are using? :)

Code: Select all

inxi -r
tells you what

I don't like them at all ;)

Why have you this on LMDE ? deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/bimsebasse/cin ... as/ubuntu/ oneiric main

That's a ppa for ubuntu. Don't use it...

Bob,
have you made any change in the sources.list file lately? or have you installed/updated mint-debian-mirrors along with the new mintupdate-debian?
what's the output of

Code: Select all

apt policy mintupdate-debian mint-debian-mirrors
the reason i ask this:
you have this

Code: Select all

deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian main upstream import
deb http://mirror.rts-informatique.fr/linuxmint/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb http://mirror.rts-informatique.fr/linuxmint/debian/security/ testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://mirror.rts-informatique.fr/linuxmint/debian/multimedia/ testing main non-free
deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest testing main contrib non-free
and should have this

Code: Select all

deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian main upstream import 
deb http://mirror.rts-informatique.fr/linuxmint/debian/latest testing main contrib non-free
deb http://mirror.rts-informatique.fr/linuxmint/debian/latest/security testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://mirror.rts-informatique.fr/linuxmint/debian/latest/multimedia testing main non-free
- the 5th line wasn't changed to the new mirror and is a duplicate of the 2nd;
- on your 2nd, 3rd and 4th line is missing the word latest thus the repo is non-existent this way;

I did an update and it changed my repository lines, so I put in the 4 lines you posted, and now I am getting 1586 updates. So far, so good.

just take some caution because the servers are still under heavy load and can break anytime; if you don't get a clean output don't do it today.

I got it all installed and I could no longer start the desktop, it booted to command line. For now I restored the partition with Clonezilla, there must be something in that pack that is messing with the video that should be ignored? My specs are in my sig.

This poster ignored the xserver and other files, but I am not sure I would ignore the other files? http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... =xorg#wrap

I had the same problem after the update. Startx worked, so I ran

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg-reconfigure mdm
. That fixed the problem.

Bob your card is still supported and you should find the drivers for it in the repo; eventually you have to install and configure them before reboot.

You did that from command line when the GUI would not load?

Yes. Actually I logged in as root and ran the command without sudo. After that the computer booted to the mdm login screen.

I got it installed, now the terminal will not take any input, and all the dialog boxes look kind of dated?

Make sure you run the post-upgrade tweaks:
http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest/update-pack.html

You may also want to run dist-upgrade rather than upgrade when moving to a new update pack.

I installed Mint meta mate, but terminal still NG. Should I run dist-upgrade from a reboot recovery mode? I can not longer use the gui terminal.

Have you used Mint-X-Metal theme before? Because your issue looks just like this one.
