Are there any other files that are relevant? I'm happy to share my settings even though I don't fully understand what all of them mean :)<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

Hi Philip<br>
<br>
Yes; "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" didn't seem to do anything. ("0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not to upgrade.")<br>
<br>
I can understand that the preferences file needs changing (and have found out how to use Gedit to do this), but I can't quite work out the format. I'm wondering is this is it:<br>

Is that right? The bit at the end doesn't look right to me because of the spaces, not something I'd expect in a URL.<br>

Thanks!<br>

Did you ever try to just do a:<br>

"sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"<br>
<br>
The problem is your linuxmint source that is set to 700 and always will<br>
be considered to be a "stable" source and all sources like my PPA as<br>
non-stable. The mint source will be what gets installed if nothing else<br>
is forced it to do an override with packages from other sources.<br>
