I installed some parts of linuxmint rosa in Ubuntu 14.04.5 by adding the repository in /etc/apt/sources.list. For example, if I switch to tty2, it shows up as Linux Mint 17 Rosa. I would like everything to resemble a Ubuntu 14.04 installation as closely as possible. How do I remove these mint components?

You mention tty2 which implies to me its a text message you see. I'dgreplooking for the text-string you see to get a filename, then look for the package that contains that file (eg.dpkg -S) though you could probably just edit the file directly... (yes I'd probably re-install the Ubuntu versions too)

@guiverc that was just a random example that I was giving. Everything except lsb_release seems to identify my system as Linux Mint

You can use Synaptic Package Manager.
Install Synaptic
sudo apt-get install synapticOpen it with
synaptic-pkexecOn the left window side select Origin.
- Scroll this list to something
linuxmintrelated. Then it will show packages in the right (installed ones should have green square mark). - You can remove or purge them with corresponding menu entries.
- Do not forget to click Apply when you are done.
Or aptitude:
aptitude search "?origin (linuxmint) ?installed"
Then remove or purge found packages by hand.

Yep. This did a large part of the work. Additionally, I had to install the base-files package as a .deb package and then upgrade it to report the correct distro and version
