Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu (unless you happen to be using a Debian-based
version which they also provide), and Linux Mint 15 (Olivia) is equivalent
to Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail).

So instead of the codename "olivia" you would normally use "raring", but
only Ubuntu LTS is supported, so you could try "precise" instead.
