Collecting thoughts, giving them meaning and having fun while at it
I recently fresh installed Linux Mint 12 (Lisa), which is based on Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric). I almost immediately bumped into a problem with gdebi, the graphical package installer. The message I received was:
"Could not open XXXX.deb. The package might be corrupted or you are not allowed to open the file. Check the permissions of the file."
After a lot of searching, I found this solution in linuxmint forums. Works like a charm:
[code]sudo apt-get install xz-lzma[/code]

My LMDE desktop
Although I thought I had come to terms with the fact that I wanted to use Ubuntu-based Mint, instead of Debian-based Mint, I finally could not resist the temptation of installing Linux Mint Debian 201012. One of the reasons was that a 64-bit version was available for the first time. Another reason was that I had used Mint 10 for over two months, I had finished polishing it, it was pretty stable and… I was getting itchy again!
In this post, I will focus on how I fine-tuned the installed system, in order to resemble Mint Main Edition, as much as possible.
Unlike the issues I encountered in my previous post, with the first incarnation of LMDE, this time the installation went pretty smooth; the installer had evolved quite a bit. However, I did not see an option to encrypt the home folder. Did I miss it? Maybe.
Update, Oct. 8, 2011: You should now download the latest (at this time) LMDE 201109
canon pixma mp560
Update, December 2012
Moving forward to Mint Nandia (based on Ubuntu 12.10), Michael’s drivers in canon-trunk suport two-sided printing! At last!
Update, May 2012.
Moving forward to Mint Maya (based on Ubuntu 12.04), I found that Michael’s Canon repository did not have a driver version for Precise and that the previous ones used in Oneiric, would not work.
In order to solve this problem, you need to follow these steps:
[code]sudo add-apt-repository ppa:michael-gruz/canon-trunk
sudo apt-get update[/code]
