Im a newbie here and I Have been having issues with updating my LMDE. I have resently done a fresh install because my windows crashed and i did not know how to rework windows in without reformatting the computer and putting mint back on afterwords. Anyway, This time around i have been having trouble with my updates. The update manager will propose a list of updates but when i ask to install i get errors such as failed to fetch :
Code: Select all
ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR

, ....**On a side note, I was wondering before i successfully update if someone could help my catch one of them. Forsome reason the last time i used LMDE and i performed my first update it knocked out all sound on my computer aside from the login screens "ping". i believe it would have to deal with alsa but i am not sure. But first i need to be able to update so yeah
Thank you guys for looking at this wall o' text and any advice you can provide would be great.
and if/when we have that info, we see what to do
either you know how or someone else does it
