I recently tried to install Cinnamon as the primary desktop environment for my Linux Mint 12 system. The command
1 |
sudo aptitude install cinnamon-session |
resulted in the following error message
1 2 3 4 |
Err http://packages.linuxmint.com/ lisa/main cinnamon amd64 1.1.2 404 Not Found Get: 1 http://packages.linuxmint.com/ lisa/main cinnamon-session all 1.0.0 [1,634 B] Fetched 1,634 B in 0s (2,614 B/s) E: Failed to fetch http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/main/c/cinnamon/cinnamon_1.1.2_amd64.deb: 404 Not Found E: Failed to fetch http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/main/c/cinnamon/cinnamon_1.1.2_amd64.deb: 404 Not Found |
To fix this issue and successfully install cinnamon execute the following command in a terminal window (CTRL + ALT + T):
1 |
sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install cinnamon-session |
Please note: If you prefer apt-get over aptitude or aptitude is not installed on your system just replace all occurrences of aptitude with apt-get.
