Medibuntu changed their repository

[clem]

Hi,

Medibuntu changed their repositories (and apparently didn't care to keep the old address), so :

- please change your medibuntu repository in /etc/apt/sources.list to:

Code: Select all

deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ feisty free non-free

- there's a big chance we might not add medibuntu by default in future releases of Mint. We'll maintain the equivalent packages ourselves.

On a related note, a Firefox update probably re-branded your Web browser with Ubuntu artwork. To restore the Cassandra flash application on startup:

- Open Firefox
- Go to Edit->Preferences
- In the Main tab, "Home Page", enter the following:

file:///usr/share/linuxmint/releasenotes/index.html

One day we'll maintain our own packages... but we're still too small for that yet.

A personal welcome to reyawn.

Welcome to the Mint Lovers club. Wish you lots of fun.

Hello Clem,
I too was wondering what happened to the Releasenotes Splash screen.
It's very handy to have.

Greetings

Thanks for the update but how do we make the change. Going into the file /etc/apt/sources.list shows a medibuntu entry but when trying to save the change I'm told I can't because I don't have permission to change the file.

In any event, Mint Cassandra seems to work okay without making this change

In a KDE environment use your mouse's right button after selecting the source.list file, then use the option Actions-->Edit as root. The modifications you will make can be saved.
You can also use (KDE or GNOME) through terminal the comand gedit or pico. For example $ sudo pico /etc/apt/sources.list or $ sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.
If gedit or pico are not installed you can install them first with sudo apt-get install pico (or gedit)

Use sudo ... e.g.
sudo editor-of-your-choice /etc/apt/sources.list

GNOME:
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

KDE:
sudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list

Genome Only !!!!!!!

A "genome" is something else So unless we are talking about advanced genetics I would assume you mean GNOME, the Linux desktop software?

Thanks to all, this solved my Medibuntu errors and allowed me to install K3B successfully! DR
