Change to LXDE Repos

Post by fbc »

How do I change my ubuntu 11.10 repos to LXDE 11.10 repos? I originally installed UBUNTU 11.10 then did the psychocats PURE LXDE convertion. I would like to only update to lubuntu distro versions from now on.

What do I need to do to my source.lst to make the switch?

If you are strictly only wanting the Ubuntu version of LXDE: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/relea ... 0/release/

You may also choose using the ppa: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lxde/ppa

If you are using 9.10 or more recent of Ubuntu, this is exactly the same source Ubuntu uses.

You might also look into doing:

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources/sources.lst

If you're want to remove the repositorty from lxde.org, you ought to find it easily. Then, comment out the line with deb http://www.lxde.org/ECT with a pound sign, #.

Pound or crunch signs # are useful in bash scripting as well, and other various config files. They represent a commented line. This is roughly the same as Windows and Dos REMing lines out.

You may also need to pin your sources list to not install any other Desktop Environments or Window Managers. If that is what you're asking here, better to try $ man aptitude or $ man synaptic. I have switched from Ubuntu to Fedora recently. With that means a loss of handy bookmarks.
