[SOLVED] contents in sources.list for 17.1-MATE

prudra · 04-13-2015, 08:31 PM

I have so long worked with debian and know what to write in
/etc/apt/sources.list file. I was thinking of testing
linuxmint-17.1-mate-32bit.iso .
What shall I write in the /etc/apt/sources.list file in this case?
I made a cursory web search but could not find the relevant data.

May help, or not. Mine. It has added 3rd party repos that you do not need.

Code:

$ inxi -r
Repos:     Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/noobslab-icons-trusty.list
           deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/noobslab/icons/ubuntu trusty main
           deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/noobslab/icons/ubuntu trusty main

$ cd /etc
/etc $ ls
<snip>
/etc $ cat lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=LinuxMint
DISTRIB_RELEASE=17
DISTRIB_CODENAME=qiana
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 17 Qiana"
/etc $ inxi -S
System:    Host: chopper Kernel: 3.19.0-5-exton x86_64 (64 bit) 
           Desktop: MATE 1.8.1  Distro: Linux Mint 17 Qiana

I guess you can compare my Mint entries with yours. Disregard the others like Opera, Ubuntu, or noobslab.
I made sure in my code readout that it shows you I am running 64 bit mate Mate 17.

If running Mint 17 already. Nothing needs to be done. Just install mate through the package manager. If this is a debian wheezy question though.

Of course, with 17 the reference is qiana, and with 17.1 that changes to rebecca.

Thank both of you for supplying the answer that I was looking for. Actually I have 2 machines, 1 laptop and 1 netbook, both running now Debian Wheezy. Since Debian Jessie will very soon be stable, I was thinking of having two different linux flavors, debian on one and linux mint on the other. And I am somewhat more at home with Gnome 2, and Mate is nearer to it. Thanks again.

I have installed today linuxmint-17.1-mate-32bit.iso and it is working fine. I didn't know that the repositories are
automatically written in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ during installation. A small irritant has happened. I don't find
any 'Trash' icon on the Desktop. This is a difference with Debian and opensuse. How can I make that icon appear on the
Desktop?

Thanks. Have done it.
My wife doesn't like the MATE desktop. She says that Gnome-Classic was better than MATE.
