Unable to update Pack 3

[vikrang]

i have just installed LMDE 64 Bit and was prompted for some updates..I am not able to complete the update successfully.. The installer stops in between and gives an error related to gstreamer plugin and prompts whether to retain the same version... The kernel remains at 2.6.39 and is not upgraded to 3

Attached the scr shots...

Your sources.list needs to look like this

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
deb http://liveusb.info/multisystem/depot all main
deb-src http://liveusb.info/multisystem/depot all main

I took out the "universe" entry in the first repo; and changed the security and multimedia repo's to switch to LM repo.

Thanks zero zero and Proxima centauri ( This is another galaxy like Milky way right? )...

Updates were done without a hitch now...

I will change the repos right away .. Sorry missed the announcement....Usually just look for the ISO and install it...Think this may work with regular Mint but for DE would have to read carefully!

i think you havent read update info.There informed to uninstall that
gstreamer first.
