The link works for me too. Try "incognito mode" in your browser to get a clean cache, maybe, and be sure you aren't blocking outbound traffic to 178.63.8.150. See michelsberg's post : wget will tell you about the failure. Tried icognito in chromium... Simply cannot get this link/url to do...

ok.... thanks wolverine_tech and JoeInMN, I think I have it . This post immediately above appears to collate relevant info. My most recent problem came in forgetting (I think) the "sudo" in: sudo checkinstall make install I had to get libfreetype6-dev in order to run ./configure by adding ...

I had the exact same error when compiling on Debian Wheezy. I added the proper 'sid' repository, updated the source list and installed libfreetype6 (or perhaps libfreetype6-dev). Tried compiling again & went through without any glitch. Look for my post on http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?...

I think we are looking at two different .tar.bz2 files. Are you using the wine-unstable_1.3.33.orig.tar.bz2 file - the one that's listed very first under Available files under Source package? (Available files >> Source package >> wine-unstable_1.3.33.orig.tar.bz2) It's an 18.9 MB file. After extrac...

Echo JoeInMN .... keep looking in this "solved" thread for some complete, logical explanation on how to put wine on LMDE. Part of me just wants to go Linux Mint 12 and forget about the headache. And yet, I hate to bail on LMDE at the first scent of an apparently irresolvable difficulty.

by wyrdoak on Tue Oct 04, 2011 7:34 pm http://dev.carbon-project.org/debian/wine-unstable/ 1. Look for the list of packages for your architecture (32bit or 64bit) 2. Download each file in the list (there will be 18-19 files) 3. In your Downloads directory there will now be 18-19 .deb files 4. While...

Whoo Who... LMDE xfce 4 teh win!

That's so stunning, there just aren't words.

Robin, that was a cool post. Love to see more of that, as one of the biggest barriers to getting into Linux is the sheer welter of arcane subjects that long-time Linux peoples just take for granted - but of course fly over n00b heads. New people want conceptual level information, and that post did a...

Thank you zerozero , hard to know logically some stuff in advance. APT sources correct and whatever with gstreamer was removed once I ran command without Update Manager open ;/ ...... Update competed successfully Solved: also related to thread: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=185&t=...

probably you issued that command in terminal with mintupdate open (to check the information). you can't have two instances of apt running at one time, hence the error.

Thanks... here is the inxi -r result ~ $ inxi -r Repos: Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list 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/update...

Head exploding: I have APT sources correct. I run into this: An Error Occured E: /var/cache/apt/archives/gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad_0.10.22-3_i386.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstxvid.so', which is also in package gstreamer0.10-plugins-really-bad 0.10.22-0.1 So saw in Update n...

There has been a lot of questions concerning errors with the gstreamer packages. Something like Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad_0.10.22-3_amd64.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) In that case, copy the package name...

Getting confused after reading and trying to follow instructions at http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=1836 explicitly. I have fresh install of LMDE xfce 201109 . I saw that changing APT was important via that blog url above. It said "first thing you need to do": gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list...

How does one get this user guide?? As above the links have been broken for days

Can't seem to load livelinux.altervista.org/Guida_LMDE/index_en.html
... not even livelinux.altervista.org/

Is there another place where the User Guide might be?

I'm in Linux Mint 8 KDE and the version of KDE is 4.3.5
Updates to KDE have never appeared in the Update Manager. How does one upgrade the KDE then and/or is it even advisable or safe in Mint 8 KDE environment?

Ok... I am guessing that Update Manager no longer works for me/Mint 8 KDE. And that also Synaptic (insofar as is different) doesn't either? In the meantime, before I can figure out what Distro to upgrade to, I'd love to make FireFox go to 4 or 5, whatever. Shouldn't that still be possible? I used th...

Does that mean that I cannot upgrade Firefox.... that the Update manager stops working?

Confused. If my OS passed "end of life" why didn't it tell me it was dead. As it is, it sounds like I have a zombie
