Hi Everyone,
I followed your instructions for getting software from authors home site.When I was installing ttf-mscorefonts-installer,I got aMicrosoft agreement box in the Terminal.I could find no way to accept or decline and no way to escape the box except by closing the Terminal.
If I try to start again I get: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run ‘sudo dpkg –configure -a’ to correct the problem
If I try the command apt remove,I get the same reply.
Worse still I get the same reply if I try to open Synaptic PM.
In case you didn’t realise I am a newbie on Mint 12 !
How do I manually run the command given ?
I’ve tried a bit of research but I’m getting nowhere.
Kind regards to anyone who can help, Andy.
Hi Andy!
