open a terminal, type
Code:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
then put a '#' in front of every line containing "viewizard.com".
after that perform
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
it might still complain, in which case please read

Ok am not sure how this quote of your clues is going to lay out but I thought I'd put that in first.
When I did the
-------------------------------------------
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list =
#deb cdrom:[Linux Mint 17.1 _Rebecca_ - Release amd64 20141126]/ trusty contrib$
## Viewizard Games repository
deb
http://viewizard.com/linux debian/
-----------------------------------------------
and that's it I didn't get the list that I would have expected.
I couldn't put the cursor in front of the deb
http://viewizard.com/linux debian/ but I suspect that's not even what you would have meant ...
I am used to when you put lines in terminal you get the
user@user-EB1501P ~ $ (who you are and where you are maybe)
with the blinking cursor straight after it
so
There already being ## in front of the above
Bit stuck right here. Terminal seems to be trying to be listing but stuck? Am I close
Am not sure what you guys are inferring exactly but viewizard = bad mebbee and I have to stop some code trying to... open it / consider it valid in the repository as it doesn't make sense / be a real place or something...
So inferring that these viewizard lines are screwing up the whole package list......
I vaguely suspect that by putting # in front of something makes it like instructions in the code that are invisible to the system...
Wouldn't say I can see light at the end of the tunnel unless that is a bus coming
Umm...
Edit= thanks for the list of tutorial type things I will go and try glean some scoobies directly
