A complete Linux newbie here.
Although I could install Linux Mint 18.3 along side Windows 10 a couple of weeks back, I'm still having trouble getting Mobile Partner installed despite following their installation instructions. Since this (3G Dongle) is my only option to access internet -- no Wifi or Ethernet --, I can't even get the post-installation network related activities (Drivers, Updates, installing codecs etc) going.
Having spent quite a few days searching your forums and Google in general I can't seem to make progress.
As you can see in images below, I tried to follow instructions that came bundled with the dongle. Since you can’t issue commands directly as “su” in the terminal, I tried doing the installation with the following two commands
sudo do and sudo -i. 
Installation with sudo do :
Code: Select all

At this point I’m unsure how to go about getting this to work. I would appreciate any advice on this.
Note: Although the system detects the network operator when the dongle’s connected (with or without installation) there’s no option to establish connection. The Mobile broadband option in the network settings always stays off. Manually turning it ON seems to have no effect either and the settings (gear) icon stays grayed out.
Thanks in advance.
