Re: how to manually run
Hi! Can you please elaborate on your problem? What is it you were trying to do? What is the exact wording of the error. What version of Linux Mint are you using (i.e., Gnome, KDE, other and version 3.1, 4.0, etc.) Thanks!

Re: how to manually run
The package management system - synaptic has two components: dpkg and APT. Synaptic knows there is a problem, so it is asking you to fix it by running "dpkg --configue -a" in a terminal window. That command needs to be run as root. So in a terminal enter:
Code: Select all
sudo dpkg --configue -a
Re: how to manually run
Simply open gnome-terminal and preface any commands you want to run as root with "sudo" (without the quotes). I hope this helps!
Example 1:
sudo dpkg --configue -a
The above referenced command will be run with root privileges since it is prefaced by the "sudo" command. You will need to enter your password to proceed.
Example 2:
sudo nautilus
The above referenced command will open a nautilus browser window as root. As before, you will be prompted for your password in order to proceed.
Example 1:
sudo dpkg --configue -a
The above referenced command will be run with root privileges since it is prefaced by the "sudo" command. You will need to enter your password to proceed.

sudo nautilus
