Registering to "latest" repository
Hi
New on LMDE. I changed today my Debian repos to latest Mint repository.
This is what I did:
Is it normal and expected to change three Debian repos to a single Mint one or did I do a mistake?
Mint is so strong?

Re: Registering to "latest" repository
My understanding is that you leave the Debian security and multimedia repos active also, as they have packages not in the Mint Debian repos.

Re: Registering to "latest" repository
Thanks for the info and the link.
I rescued my two Debian repos and I also downloaded and installed mintupdate-debian.

Re: Registering to "latest" repository
How did you download the mintupdate-debian? I tried earlier from the terminal and got a message saying the package could not be found.

hi msm,
after you changed sources.list according to your choice: latest to get a more "stable" LMDE, incoming to test issues, run

Re: Registering to "latest" repository
Hi
Latest update-pack.
After installing the zerozero way, mintupdate-debian with its nice update pack info button began working only a day later, when I restarted my computer. It informed me of the arrival on updatepack n°1 (mainly related things about codecs) and installed it without any hitch.
In the update info windows, I was informed of regressions for the arrival of some Gnome 3 components and that I could delay their install, but these components were actually not part of the update pack. .
So, I would say, it's working. For now, everything is quiet on the Western front.

Re: Registering to "latest" repository
Actually, the codec related items weren't part of an update pack.
They're from the multimedia repository and will continue to come in as they are released.
Also, if you used to update regularly, the Gnome 3 components mentioned have probably already been installed. They predate the Update Pack system. Check your terminal window, the calculator and the system monitor.

Re: Registering to "latest" repository
1. - I have been notified of the arrival of update pack n°1 with exactly these items
2. - Indeed, my gnome-terminal is now Gnome 3 and working well though the drop down menus looks a little old-fashioned, Clearlooks like.
calculatrice (gcalctool) is v. 6.02 and has the same Clearlooks style too (not my everyday use anyway).
moniteur système is v. 3.0.1 and the same as above.
Gnome 3 is creeping in...

Re: Registering to "latest" repository
I changed the sources.list to the latest as you described in here: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... 56&start=0 and first ran the sudo apt-get update and then ran sudo apt-get install mintupdate-debian, but still get the package not found error. Weird...zerozero wrote:hi msm,

Re: Registering to "latest" repository
well it's as you said weird the repos are right; apt-cache policy shows errors related to the repos in sources.list.d, maybe that's why can't find mintupdate; if you do a the result is clear or do you see any errors? like couldn't refresh the list... old ones were used (or something similar, i don't recall the exact wording)
also you can see in synaptic and do a search for mintupdate, the pkg should come up, and mark it to install (if the apt-get update is performing correctly)

Re: Registering to "latest" repository
Doing a sudo apt-get update goes well as such, but the last lines show these errors:
Would this have an impact?
Edit: Synaptic Manager indicates that mintupdate version 4.3.2 is already installed.

Re: Registering to "latest" repository
i believe it's that last line; i saw another post already with the same error: something with the server, the repo is not being reached;
my advise will be to wait

If I judge from mine, this is unrelated. The only thing I noticed is a theme change for the applications concerned, but not a font quality difference.Dr.m0x wrote: I was wondering why my fonts were all messed up in the terminal.
Re: Registering to "latest" repository
@Roger,
Did you ever resolve that issue with the Repo? I asked the same question in a different thread and ZeroZero was kind enough to answer me, but I saw no update on this one.
Just put one line in there;-
