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.
