I'm writing as it's happening. I tried the first code and got this:
Code: Select all

Then I did the second command you posted, which basically listed all the files that are going to be updated, to which I agreed for them to be updated. Here's the list anyways, with my command reply:
Code: Select all

The terminal is now going through a long list of scripts where it's "preparing to unpack" and "unpacking" files. Then, after that long list of script ended, this popped up:

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libgstreamer-gl1.0-0 : Depends: libgstreamer1.0-0 (>= 1.14.4) but 1.14.1-1~ubuntu18.04.1 is installed
libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 : Depends: libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-18 (= 2.24.2-0ubuntu0.18.04.1) but 2.22.4-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
I'll go ahead and try the second step you listed. I have an all-in-one HP desktop, if that helps at all. I don't know if my granpda ever updated this thing, but I figured I'd recycle it and put Linux Mint on it. And to answer your first question, yes I removed the ethernet cable and then rebooted the computer. I did your second step, but it said something about an error in the gconfig2 dependency. And I have no absolute idea what that means.
