my error now is that nothing will apt-get install because 3 packages are preventing it: linux-image-3.0.0-15-generic, linux-image-3.0.0-16-generic, and linux-image-3.0.0-17-generic) as such I can't install openssh-server which isn't installed ('no such file or directory'). I don't remember the exact error but that is what the update manager told me. I have no idea why there are five versions in there (as shown by 'dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-image'). I'm pretty sure I run version 12 Maybe this will fix it.... I opened synaptic and 'unmarked' the kernels removal requests. and then tried to install openssh-server. Well I guess it kinda worked. I think it installed ssh-server because when I type in apt-get install ssh-server it says: openssh-server is already the newest version. openssh-server set to manually installed. but when I try ssh: sudo ssh 192.168.0.4 root@192.168.0.4's password: <-laptop Welcome to Linux Mint 12 Lisa (GNU/Linux 3.0.0-12-generic i686) Welcome to Linux Mint * Documentation: http://www.linuxmint.com Last login: Wed Mar 28 16:20:36 2012 Michaels-Laptop ~ # ssh 192.168.0.2 <----------------------------- computer in question ssh: connect to host 192.168.0.2 port 22: No route to host Michaels-Laptop ~ # The synaptic report is at 'a'. Another problem that just started is the sound on the print server stopped working. I clicked on the speaker icon to turn it up and I see it is maxed. So then I clicked 'sound settings' and the output volume is maxed so I investigate the tabs. The first tab (hardware) has nothing in the 'choose a device to configure' window.
