after update --> gnome3

[feldmausON]

Hello Guys,

today i made <aptitude update> and then upgrade on my LMDE and i now have a gnome3 system. Before i had mate(gnome2). My currently sources.list consists this:

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

What packages should i install to get my mate back?

<mate-core> and <mate-desktop-environment> are still installed.

Further on, my intention on the update was to get <luckybackup>, but it doesnt appear on my package list available, any idea?

regards

When you log in MDM, use the setting to select Mate. I think it could solve your problem.

For Luckybackup : I think you can install it by

Code: Select all

apt install luckybackup

Code: Select all

KDB@KDB-laptop ~ $ apt policy luckybackup
luckybackup:
  Installé : (aucun)
  Candidat : 0.4.7-1
 Table de version :
     0.4.7-1 0
        500 http://mirror.rts-informatique.fr/linuxmint/debian/incoming/ testing/main amd64 Packages

thanks, i was to excited. I changed the desktopmanager in the loginmanager to mate.

When i try to install luckybackup over apt/aptitude he cant find this package, any ideas? Or shall i make a new thread? Do i have to add testing? How can i find out where i can get <luckybackup>?

After a <apt update> i could get+install <luckybackup>. I didnt change anything. Why it does work now?

[killer de bug]

Because before you updated the list of softwares, your system didn't knew luckybackup was available.

You should always do a apt update before installing something just to be sure to have the latest informations available.
I would recomand that you

Code: Select all

apt dist-upgrade

too. Just to be sure you are up to date.

[feldmausON]

Ok, but i did <aptitude update> before, so what is the difference to <apt update>?

[killer de bug]

Good question. I don't know. I only use apt.

[helderm]

I'm having problems to install this too.

Hello, helderm.

I'm having problems to install this too.

This thread had been dead for 12 months. It will make more sense to create a new thread explaining your problem than simply adding a "me too" to this old thread.
