Any Tips for Removing removed? [SOLVED]
I can't disable or remove the archive.removed links from the software manager or update manager. How would I go about fixing that? Thanks in advance.

Re: Any Tips for Removing removed?
That's weird. Well, please open a terminal and share the output of the following command here. You can copy text to/from the terminal, see its Edit menu. With that information, we can confirm the manual action you should take.

Now you can remove these lines manually:

Save and close the file and in the terminal run this command:

It is probably easier to go into Software Sources in the menu and uncheck or remove the two removed ones on the Others tab.

Re: Any Tips for Removing removed?
The removed and removed server aren't continued any longer: http://forum.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=123258. So, basically there's no need to keep them in Software Sources.AlbertP wrote:It is probably easier to go into Software Sources in the menu and uncheck or remove the two removed ones on the Others tab.
Re: Any Tips for Removing removed?
The Software Sources route apparently wasn't working, hence the workaround. As for nomko's command, you may have to replace sudo gedit with gksudo pluma or kdesu kate depending on your desktop environment (former for MATE, latter for KDE). You can also make the needed changes by running this command from the terminal:
Code: Select all
sudo sed -i 's/^\(.*archive.removed.*\)$/#\1/' /etc/apt/sources.list

Tried that for the last month and it wouldn't let me click remove or uncheck them. Rather frustrating.AlbertP wrote:It is probably easier to go into Software Sources in the menu and uncheck or remove the two removed ones on the Others tab.
Xeno, your fix worked perfectly. Thanks much!
