Uninstalled cinnamon

Post by UnwantedArun »

I've uninstalled cinnamon. I wanted to uninstall pulseaudio,
But cinnamon also uninstalled with that.
Now though terminal I'm unable to install cinnamon because it is not connecting to my mirror

mirror.xeonbd.com/ubuntu-archive

How do i reset my mirror to default source.

Also in sources.list file, there's nothing in it.

Please help. There's no interface available now. Only terminal.

1. Don't bump your own threads, you lessen your chances for them to be seen. I usually only look at threads without responses.

2. Carefully type and run this to fix your mirror situation:

Code: Select all

sudo sed -i "s/mirror.xeonbd.com\/ubuntu-archive/archive.ubuntu.com\/ubuntu/" /etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list
Then

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
and

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install mint-meta-cinnamon

It worked. But after reinstalling pulseaudio, my Bluetooth is not working.
It can turn on, can find new device. But after pairing. It disconnects immediately. Also unable to reconnect.
Please help me to fix this too.

Check the log at /var/log/apt/history.log to see what else was uninstalled and re-install where necessary. If that does not help, best make a new thread.
