I translate into a normal reading language for 'This PPA does not support trusty' I can’t add a PPA: “'This PPA does not support trusty'”.

    Before you blindly add something from the left-hand article on the Internet, look at the repository: https://launchpad.net/~neon :

    This team is no longer in use.

    If you are interested in the concept have a look at http://neon.kde.org.uk

    actually need a second point from here: http://neon.kde.org/download#packageUpgrade

    but one thing: they write, they say, support retstli lts, ​​but the recommendations say to install Ubuntu 15.10. Mint 17 is at its core 14.04 contains. So, I would first indulge in the sandbox.

    UPD: information from here :

    Packages plan to build for Ubuntu LTS releases, but until the release of Ubuntu 16.04, builds will be published for Ubuntu 15.10. Packages are only available for the amd64 architecture.

    Those.:

    1. Ubuntu 14.04 / trusty, Mint 17.x - in the span.
    2. x86_32 - in the span.

    Concerning the decision:

    1. Patience: 16.04 will be released this month, mint 18 in 1-2 months after. Probably earlier.
    2. Upgrade iron if not x86_64. No options. Either rebuild yourself :)
    • Error: Could not find neon-desktop package. Sadly - jashka
    • Well, that was required to prove: wait for the release of ubunt 16.04 and mint 18. Well, here is the info that confirms this: opennet.ru/opennews/art.shtml?num=43790 : "Packages are planned to be created for LTS releases of Ubuntu, but before since the release of Ubuntu 16.04, the builds for Ubuntu 15.10 will be published. Packages are released only for the amd64 architecture. ", so from 14.04 / trusty and Mint 17.x - in the span. Well, nothing, wait a couple of months left (this should let ubuntu out, then wait for the mint to adapt) - Monah Tuk
