I did it by editing the sources.list. Just copy paste the relevant sources. open terminal and type: Code: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list It should look like this (if you didn't add any other sources.) Code: deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ julia main upstream import romeo deb-src http://packages.linuxmint.com/ julia main upstream import romeo #Added by software-properties deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty main restricted universe multiverse deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates main restricted universe multiverse deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-security main restricted universe multiverse deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ natty partner deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ natty free non-free #deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ julia main upstream import romeo #deb-src http://packages.linuxmint.com/ julia main upstream import romeo #Added by software-properties #deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted universe multiverse #deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-updates main restricted universe multiverse #deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-security main restricted universe multiverse #deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ maverick partner #deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ maverick free non-free After that do Code: sudo apt-get update --fix-missing && apt-get dist-upgrade && init6 Some visual stuff changed like the splash screen and the login screen (ubuntu 11.04 stock) but otherwise no issues. glhf
no, that doesn't work for linux mint. I've tried all the regular commands for ubuntu and the only way is to update the sources first.
