Linux Olivia 15 - apt-get - Not found [IP: 91.189.91.14 80]

Hi there, this morning I came across this very annoying message from my linux Mint (Olivia 15):

Err http://archive.ubuntu.com raring-updates/universe i386 Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.14 80] Err http://archive.ubuntu.com raring-updates/multiverse i386 Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.14 80] Fetched 163 kB in 23s (6838 B/s) W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/raring-security/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.201 80] W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/raring-security/restricted/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.201 80] W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/raring-security/universe/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.201 80] W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/raring-security/multiverse/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.201 80] W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/raring-security/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.201 80] W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/raring-security/restricted/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.201 80] W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/raring-security/universe/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.201 80] W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/raring-security/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.201 80]

So... after a while I've found that this is probably caused from Raring Ringtail (13.04) becoming EOL!

I've opened Synaptic, and then I've disabled old raring* repos.
The problem is that while trying to add new repositories, it suddenly crashed leaving me alone with a worse problem: apt-get stopped working at all.

Then, the solution:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

mine looked like: 
# deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu/ raring-getdeb ap ps games 

# deb http://repository.spotify.com/ stable non-fre e 

I've added: 

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted universe multiverse 

It works like a charm!

Cheers,

Responsive web layouts based on Flexbox Model

Hi all,
I'm going to publish a small layouts collection: they're based on the stunning forthcoming Flexible Box layout model so... take it like an experiment!



As of today I've put the first layout, very standard setup for a web application: header, footer, zoom and scoll locked, a main section and the aside.
I'm trying to adhere as much as I can to the rules of semantic html because I strongly believe that this is going to become a standard and I love it.
I just cannot see divs and lot of classes as of 2014, and I'm lucky enough to have the power to force my customers to not use some bad products.
I've choosen to not support old or bad browsers.

So, before you get angry:

1. check your browser's support
2. update it... it's free.
3. change it... it's free as well.

Enjoy the example:  first layout.
Download the full repo from Github!
 
For this work I'm using my own Less mixins:
