aptitude update
aptitude full-upgrade
or
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
That is by design, and it's been that way since before I was on this project.An unusual thing I notice with Refracta is when you install a snapshot any changes you make when running the live dvd before installing get used/transfered when you do the install.

I realized it was a design feature and what an excellent feature, good thinking by your man.An unusual thing I notice with Refracta is when you install a snapshot any changes you make when running the live dvd before installing get used/transfered when you do the install.That is by design, and it's been that way since before I was on this project.

When I went to "System>Install Software" and selected "update"
and was asked "Install update-manager-gnome now?" so I answerd yes and the terminal window starts filling up and then crashes/disappears.

cd /home/github/refracta
git pull origin master
sudo cp repsit /usr/local/bin/repsit
(and maybe)
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/repsit

That was quick, was it a clash ubuntu app installer?install update-manager-gnome to update the package cache, and update manager gets installed optionally, along with synaptic and gdebi.

If I'm reading you correctly you managed to successfully install a refracta backup of Sid possibly LMDE?
No, what i wanted to say was, i can't call up the installer gui from the menu entry.
I can call up the installer script in the cli. But because the snapshot i created (tried it several
times) is incomplete, i have nothing to reinstall.
Possibly i could install your qt4 xfce snapshot. But the script wants to install Grub and that is
something i don't want.
Code: Select all
[email protected]:~$ sudo refractainstaller
[sudo] password for gerd50:
You need to have a partition ready for the installation. If you
haven't already done that, you can run the partition editor now.
If you want a separate /home partition, you should create it at
this time, this script will ask you later if you've done that.
Choices (enter number):
1. GParted
2. cfdisk
3. No thanks, I already have a partition prepared. Continue.
4. I'd like to exit the script now.

Would you like fdisk to show you what drives and partitions
are available? (yes or no): yes

Where would you like the GRUB bootloader to be installed?
(probably a drive, like /dev/sda): exit
exit does not exist!

I think at this point the installer first should ask - do you want to install Grub (yes or no):
and if the answer is yes, then ask where to install Grub.
My LMDE Sid Xfce is completely freed from mint stuff and was installed as LMDE Gnome long time ago.

just a thought
