Try sudo apt update then repeat the command.

Hi "Palladini921",

It would help to know more about your system setup, like which edition and version of Linux Mint you are using. If you run "inxi -Fxzd" and "lsusb" from the console terminal prompt, highlight the results, copy and paste them back here, that should provide enough information.

FYI: Use the "rimg" in a post or reply to have your remote image link show up. Similar to below.

Code: Select all

In my "Synaptic Package Manager (SPM)" for Linux Mint 18.2 there are both the vnstat and vnstati, but I think both are installed using the one command below.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install vnstat
Vnstati Download (DEB, RPM) eassy to install deb files
- click link below and then click Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial for Linux Mint 18.x and Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty for Linux Mint 17.x

https://pkgs.org/download/vnstati
OR
Ubuntu – Package Search Results -- vnstat
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=vnstat
vnStat - a network traffic monitor for Linux and BSD

Hope this helps ...

I am running Linux Mint 18.3 Sylvia Cinnamon.

I did run the sudo apt install, and then the command, it did something but the message remains on the screen. I have not yet done a restart, will do so right after posting this message

Hi "Palladini921",

If you are still having a problem, click the first link in my last reply in the "quote" box, download the "vnstat" and "vnstati" deb files for your version of Linux Mint, and double-click them to install them in that order.
