I will mark this as "resolved" an ask the remaining question elsewhere.

Thanks again for helping.

Thanks for reminding me to execute sudo apt-get update first! Now I was able to successfully build Mixxx! There is one problem, though. When Mixxx is running, it is neither possible to use other audio applications like Banshee, nor to hear the sound of Youtube videos, for instance. As soon as I clos...

Ok, thanks. But, could you tell me how to find out which the right repo is? I added the following to my additional-repositories.list deb-src http://packages.linuxmint.com debian main upstream import deb-src http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest/ testing main contrib non-free deb-src http://debian.linux...

When I try to "build-dep", I get the following: myusername@laptop:~$ sudo apt-get build-dep mixxx [sudo] password for myusername: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list How can I get a...

Does anyone have another idea on this? Ary my assumptions about missing dependencies correct?
Is it true that I have to add Debian Testing repository to my sources.list to get ahead in this case?

Thanks,
Dietmar

Ok, I'd like to try to compile it myself. But I believe this will fail due to missing packages. Even for compiling myself, I have to install several packages (according to the instructions http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/compiling_on_linux which I mentioned already above): sudo apt-get build-dep mixx...

Thanks for clarifying, xenopeek. I had to ask because, unfortunately, I never read the term "LMDE 1"/"LMDE 2" anywhere except here... Is it in sight what happens, maybe, a year after LMDE 2 is released? Will there be a "LMDE 3" and what Debian distro will it be based on...

I switched from Windows XP to LMDE 201403 some months ago. In my understanding, after reading this thread, there will be no more updates for LMDE 201403, right? But - this means, if I want to use the newest versions of software, I can't do this from now on, because no more updates are provided? Befo...

I thought of setting up my own temporary repository on my hard disk containing only the Mixxx packages. So I looked in the Packages.gz file in the Debian repos (http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/binary-i386/) and looked at the dependencies: Package: mixxx Version: 1.11.0~dfsg-4 Ins...

Let's say, I add Debian Testing repos: Can the package manager already get confused by the "apt-get update" command (which, I think, is executed by Synaptic), or could problems only appear after clicking "apply" in Synaptic? Would it be safer to build my own "repository"...

Thanks for the information.
Why, maybe, is grabbing it from Debian testing repo a risky method?
Which line do I have to add to the sources.list (or additional-repositories.list) to do this?

Hi there, I use LMDE 201403 MATE 64bit and would like to use the newest version of Mixxx (digital DJ software), 1.11.0. But the version currently available in package manager is 1.10.1. So I'm looking for a clean way to install the 1.11.0. The Mixxx developers operate an Ubuntu PPA: https://launchpa...

Thank you very much!
The solution in the linked post works fine! The only difference was that on my machine there was no /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume file, but I simple created one.

Hi all, i assume my topic fits best into this category. I have LMDE 201403 MATE 64bit installed on my laptop (an Acer Travelmate 5720, Core2Duo 2.2 GHz, 4 GB RAM). My swap partition is 6 GB. Everything runs fine so far, except hibernating. I've read several posts on the Internet and didn't found muc...

Thanks! Works as described.

Thanks, I will try it.
Since testing is already Jessie, is it better to add or to the software-sources? I think "wheezy" is better since the current LMDE is based on it, right?

Hi all, I'm running LMDE 201403 MATE 64bits on my Laptop. I want to install Scribus (Open Source Desktop Publishing). I'd like to install the latest stable release, 1.4.3, but in Synaptic, the latest version I can install is 1.4.0. I found an installation tutorial here (http://linuxg.net/how-to-inst...

Thanks for the description. I tried to move the /home folder. It worked! Now I also could fix the .dmrc error :) So, as a conclusion, I could say that NTFS was the wrong file system for the /home partition. But, now I'm still going to re-install LMDE. Is it safe to perform apt-get dist-upgrade direc...

@kyphi: I do not understand why you cannot change the owner of the .dmrc file but suggest that you create a new .dmrc file using a method other than "touch". Yes, I created the .dmrc file with the text editor :(. I mentioned "touch" only as another possibility... @austin.texas I ...

Thanks for the suggestion, I renamed the file as "root" and created a new one as "myuser" (file is and was empty). But I think this won't solve the problem because the new file's owner is root again. myuser@mylaptop ~ $ ls -l -a .dmrc* -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mai 3 23:20 .dmrc -...
