Greetings, and I hope everyone will have a better year in 2015; Mint 17.1 LTS with cinnamon gui has arrived, called Rebecca. It looks decent enough but the synaptic shipped for a package manager, is quite broken. No "mark all updates" button for starters, and while it does identify a group of packages as being upgradeable, the only action offered is to remove them when you click on them. Bummer. Aptitude fares little better, mostly because I long ago forgot how to run it.
Adding the line for the buildbot so I could install the master-sim, lucid as a repo refuses because most of the python etc stuff is newer so it fails even though it says >=1.40 for the dependency and its 1.55 installed. Going to the web page, I find several other names I can switch in for Lucid, but I've never tracked a distro by name, so other than 8.04 being Hardy (I think) I am lost. Lucid can see the sim but will not allow it to be installed. Precise can't even see it. So I need some guidance I believe, or should I wipe and install ubu-14.4 LTS in some flavor. Scary, the reports are that it is also severely broken, with won't even boot at the top of the lists I am seeing. Trying to do this because there is only a few more months of support left for the 10.04.4 LTS server editions now, and its time to update the OS itself. I have also about worn out the i386 model since I have a quad core 64 bit phenom, and the 64 bit versions of stuff like firefox run a heck of a lot faster. So, what amd64 flavor of Ubuntu stands the best chance of working with the existing repo's? And which name do I then put in /etc/apt/sources.list? Thanks all.
