Hey guys i hope i am posting in the right spot i am new to linux, and am experiencing a few problems, when i try to update or install packages this comes up. Something wicked happened resolving 'packages.linuxmint.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname) for more then one package.

Also i feel like its just running slow, its not very responsive, im trying to use wine and i feel like it only works sometimes, and when i use the software manager and try to install something i click install then i have to type in my password and when i do that the install option disappears and and doesn't start downloading if i want to download something i have to do it in the package manager.
thanks for you help and time.

There are too many things going on with that post to really disentangle.

For each issue you mention you need to focus on the one key thing about it that is problematic and then start using google search to narrow down your issue. The main thing to do is to look at the error messages when you try to do things and it doesn't work and then google those error messages, like for example:

wine mint kernel headers not configured

and just keep at google until you get to a posting on a forum somewhere that has a concrete suggestion similar to the issue you are facing.

Really, at this point one would have to say it could be just about anything. Maybe a bad install has totally ruined the whole enterprise.
