Unable to install Medibuntu repository in Linux Mint (error 404)

Asked by Matt Rogers

I am currently trying to install the Medibuntu Repository in Linux Mint 10.

after inputing

 sudo wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list && sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update

terminal returns the message:

--2011-04-06 17:21:27-- http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/julia.list

I require the medibuntu FFmpeg files to encode in H.264, Mpeg-4, DivX etc. in Kdenlive. If there is another work around I would be happy to try it.

Hi,

> http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/julia.list
Only ubuntu releases are supported, so "Julia", which I guess is the codename of your mint release (returned by "lsb_release -cs"), doesn't exist on the server. If Mint is based on Ubuntu, you can replace julia by the ubuntu release it is based on. If mint is based on Debian, it is not safe to use Medibuntu on it.

OK, that makes sense,

Mint 10 is based on Ubuntu 10.10 so what should I replace $(lsb_release with? would it be maverick?

Yes, replace "http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list" by "http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/maverick.list".

Can you help with this problem?
