I have just done a clean install of linux mint 14 and went to install teamviewer and I get the following error messages:

When I try to install mysql I get a similar set of error messages. If I go to 91.189.92.200, I cannot find the files so it looks like the repository is not up to date.

I installed these programs successfully a few days ago. This is very frustrating. I tried working with Ubuntu, but it was even worse. I may have to spring for a Microsoft license.

Thanks for your help

It would appear that this repository is down right now.
go to software manager >edit> software sources and from the dropdown box near the bottom select a different server.

the go to a terminal and type the following command:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
try your install again

I did as you suggested and changed the servers and ran the command in the terminal.

Then nothing worked.

Then I reverted everything back to the original settings.

And everything worked.

Very strange.

Anyway I finally got apache, php, mysql installed and working. phpmyadmin took a while. Found this http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/486 to get the details on changing config files. Don't understand why the installer either: makes the changes during the install or advises you that changes to various config files must be done.

Thanks for your help.

Your welcome glad you got it working is strange if it ever happens again you may want to try this also
in a terminal:

Code: Select all

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf
sudo apt-get update
That may also work.
Cheers!
