I hadn't a problem with the fonts in LMDE updated to Sid...I use the Droid fonts

Glad that worked for you, GeneC...once you are fully d-u'ed you can reinstate the LMDE repos if you wish

Try reconfiguring your fonts:

I have LMDE tracking Debian Unstable here...I'm quite that adventurous

Evolution..ugh, ugly ugly stuff. It indeed should be optional in my opinion

@GeneC I got around that by temporarily commenting out the LMDE repos and refreshing the repos then forcing the upgrade. Your problem is due to the LMDE repos taking precedence.

OK I managed to upgrade my install to Sid but GDM3 won't start...startx gets me to my desktop

EDIT: Solved..gdm3 tried to start twice...a reboot fixed it.

Well I am 47 and an old Linux fart too :^)

OK, so to uograde LMDE to Sid just comment out the LMDE repos then point the debian ones to Sid?

Welcome to Mint Forums!

Downloaded the ISO already and wrote it to my USB stick with Unetbootin. So much better than the older version without some of the annoying bugs.

This may be a great change from Aptosid but I'm game enough to try upgrading an LMDE install to Debian sid

Hello LMDE denizens! I'm new to this forum but not new to the Linux distro game

I am currently using Aptosid on my desktop and AntiX on my old IBM Thinkpad T42 and thought I'd explore LMDE as it has a pleasing GNOME implementation. Looking forward to the adventure!
