deb [arch=amd64,i386] https://apt.jenslody.de/stable jessie main
deb-src https://apt.jenslody.de/stable jessie main

I've found that often when I do apt-get upgrade [package] it ends up just updating everything.   How do I go about ensuring it ONLY updates codeblocks from that repo but everything else from the Mint repos?

There is nothing else in my repo (except my signing key).

BlueHazzard:
Or you use the ppa from dmoore https://launchpad.net/~damien-moore/+archive/ubuntu/codeblocks

Red Squirrel:
Ok so that did not go over so well.  I think these are designed for Ubuntu and Mint even though it's based on Ubuntu is still not Ubuntu.  Adding the lines to the sources did nothing (still said it was latest version) and adding the PPA sorta worked, but I get tons of errors when I load it, about plugins not loaded etc...  IT also did not fix the dialog box issue, a lot of them are still opening on the wrong monitor.  though Codeblocks is not the only app that's guilty of doing this, it seems nobody knows how to properly code for multi monitors, and I don't think it's necessarily the fault of individual programs, but the OS themselves.  They should restrict where new windows open to make sure it's where the user is actually actively working.

But that said is there a way to just revert back so I don't get all the startup errors?  How do I remove a PPA after adding one?   

BlueHazzard:
Probably you get the errors, because you are using two verisons of c::b...
i would recommend to remove the lines you added for the debian repository, remove all (also the contrib package) codeblocks stuff via "apt-get" or synaptic, make "apt-get update" and reinstall codeblocks (with the contrib) from the ppa. Then your plugin errors should have gone...

If you still want to revert, simly remove the ppa from your source file, remove codeblocks, "apt-get update"  and reinstall codeblocks...

can you tell us what dialogs? this should have been fixed...

Red Squirrel:
Not all dialogs, but some, and it seems to always be the same ones.

The ones I've tried are the following:

file/new/project
file/new/build target
file/new/file
file/new/custom
file/new/from template

Did not try anything else after that, but just going quickly through other menus, seems anything under debug does it as well.

Oddly, the settings dialogs all seem to be fine.  there is even an option under settings/environment/view called "enhanced multi monitor dialog placement" but it does no difference.

After all this fiddling around with repos I'm not sure what version I'm on anymore, but under help/about it says SVN 10122.  Date is Feb 28 2015.  So guessing I'm still on an old version but probably newer than what I had before.
