Barely I was talking to them for a while of the UPDATE PACK 4 (UP4) de LMDE y we already have it officially available for the use and enjoyment of all 😀
The most significant changes in this update is that it is now used Gnome 3 and Kernel 3.2 and to enjoy these changes we must do the following:
In a terminal we put:
gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
We replace the following lines:
- We replace security.debian.org with debian.linuxmint.com/latest/security
- We replace debian-multimedia.org with Debian.linuxmint.com/latest/multimedia
So there should be the sources.list as follows:
deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian main upstream import
deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest testing main contrib non-free
deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest/security testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest/multimedia testing main non-free
If we are going to update using the Update Manager (UpdateManager) first we have to update the application itself:
Remember that this application will be restarted during the update.
In the next few days or weeks, the isos of LMDE will be released in two editions offering Update Pack 4:
- The edition XFCE.
- LMDE will come by default with MATE 1.2 y Cinnamon 1.4 as a secondary desktop.
MATE It works with Compiz (also installed by default) y Cinnamon will work on VirtualBox.

What I was afraid of. Wanting to please everyone ... a hodgepodge that I think does not convince me. Anyway…. right now I have no distro. I don't like any of them and I'm worse off than when I started in Linux, because before I had time to tinker and now I neither want nor can… .. I'll try Fedora and Debian Testing, the only ones that without needing to be messing around a lot, offer Gnome 3 Shell by default and stop bullshit. openSUSE, I don't know, I don't know… ..
In the absence of trying LMDE, what a disappointment.
Why do you always use Gedit ???
Any mania to Nano or Vim ???
I use the gedit.
Not at all, actually I use nano. The problem is that I do it assuming that the user who reads me needs something easier 😀
Waiting for the new ISO of LMDE Xfce 😀
I understand sir!
It would not be very normal to put commands to tutti pleni in a distro that is extremely friendly….
Although I admit that it would be fine!
From the article
Ctrl + C
In the terminal
Ctrl + Shift + V
Or if you want, right click paste.
Very complicated…
Wooow, what a thrill, I've been waiting for this for a long time, I'm starting to download it now. 😀
LMDE will come by default with MATE 1.2 and Cinnamon 1.4 as secondary desktop.
Bad idea. Overall, Clem and his team continue to divide efforts. Wouldn't it be better to forget about MATE at once and focus only on Cinnamon? Anyway, sooner or later they will have to.
Cinnamon will work in VirtualBox
I don't understand this part, how is that?
What was missing!. After so long waiting for this update, the server is down and it is not possible to update.
