I have been told Linux is practically virus free if yes how do I do it ? 3) I can"t log in to Yahoo dominoes why ? please advises on all thanks Sigmund sigmundf@bhphotovideo.com |
Welcome to the forums!
1) Mint has an "Update Manager" application for all your update needs. (I think it's under Applications->System Tools? I'm not a Mint user) 2) Highly unlikely you have a virus in Linux. What are your hardware specs (CPU, RAM, video card) and which desktop environment (Cinnamon, Mate, KDE, etc.) are you running? 3) I am not familiar with this game, sorry. |
Answers to the questions asked above by snowpine would be a good start.

You can find the release several ways, usually there is a file named 'issue' or 'release' so open a terminal and type:
cat /etc/issue, or cat /etc/release. One of those should tell you. If you don't know how to open a terminal, hold the Alt+F2 keys down simultaneously and when the little box opens type terminal or konsole and you should get a terminal window to enter the commands. There should be a menu icon possibly in the extreme lower left where the windows "Start" button usually is. It may be elsewhere so just mouse over icons at the top/bottom of the Desktop. There should be a Software Manager somewhere. I have Mint installed on a partition but it is KDE which is not the default/standard on Mint so I doubt you have that. Can't be anymore specific. Posting some information on your hardware, processor, RAM memory and graphics card and the approximate age of the computer would help. You should try to find where the software manager is as downloading from the Mint repositories rather than just anything off the internet is going to save you a lot trouble later. |

I am not familiar with Mint's graphical interface, sorry.
The following commands should work in the Terminal: Code:
sudo apt-get update |

On the versions of Mint I have used, the Desktop looked similar to the one at the link below. Of particular interest is the Menu button which you can see in the lower left of the image. Also, Software Manager shows. This particular image is for the xfce Desktop which you may not be using but I would expecta your Desktop to have a Menu tab. http://www.tecmint.com/xfce-desktop-...linux-mint-14/ |
