ok so i was mucking around with a bunch of stuff and ended up screwing up a few things on my system lol so i uninstalled a bunch of stuff, ended up uninstalling ndiswrapper too, and this time i get this output in /var/lib/dkms/ndiswrapper/1.5.7/build/make.log

didnt see it last time, so how important is ndiswrapper knowing cpustat?

Edit: at some point today i may start from square one, reinstalling mint. i havent decided yet

 

[maddangerous]

and again...




not sure what to think here. other than something is missing. maybe run

sudo apt-get autoinstall ndiswrapper-* ndisgtk

?

 

[iFargle]

Try

sudo apt-get -f install ndiswrapper-* ndisgtk

 

[maddangerous]

ok i shall. would you mind telling what the -f and the -* do?

and am i removing ndiswrapper first..?

 

[iFargle]

ndiswrapper-* selects any packages that begin with "ndiswrapper-". The * is a wildcard

-f fixes broken packages

So no, don't remove the old one yet. If this doesn't work purge the old one (sudo apt-get purge, removes user files as well as system files)

and reinstall

 

[maddangerous]

awesome thanks a bunch. and ill get back in a minute running the command now.
