Complete HOW-TO Linux Mint 18.1 32/64 RTAI or PREEMPT with RIP install or deb

I assume you are using post 3?

Did you try a sudo apt-get update after adding the repo?

Yes Post 3
"POST 3 = Installing pre-compiled RTAI Kernel from apt using .debs"

And I have followed the instructions exactly so I did do the update..

(ok except I left the 3rd party stuff in)

Fresh clean install of Mint, the only thing I've done is change the screensaver/power settings and changed the search engine to Google.

(I was hoping you would infer post 3 from what I sent, but I know that computer guys like to stay away from assumptions, and linux guys in particular)

Did you enable the source code in synaptics?
I am sure i got that error when i forgot to check that.

Tommylight,
I followed the instructions exactly.
So yes I did.

Also removed the ndiswrapper and virtualbox?
It was a month ago so i can not recal the exact order of events, but i remember doing these two steps, update, and it installed properly.

Add this repo

Then

Just tested this and it works for me. I had the repo enabled prior so I did not have an issue as many others may have had already. When I get time ill update the HOW-TO.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

EDIT: Once completed I would uncheck this repo since it is precise base. No need to cross-contaminate Xenial with it
