The system has seemed to fix itself without me doing anything since my last operations installing nvidia-525. It would not boot graphically now it does.
Thanks Coffeeee for your reply anyway.

As the title says my screen went black. I was able to use ctrl alt F2 to get a commandline but that is all. Since I did not know what particular update has caused it, I did not know what command to use for fixing it. I assumed it might be a graphics driver update, so I tried removing the nvidia-535 ...

I returned the Sennheiser bluetooth dongle to the shop I bought it from. I still have the Cambridge Silicon Radio Bluetooth Dongle. With that it only works with android phone but not with the Idance GrooveX speakers.

I bought a Sennheiser BTD 600 for my bluetooth speakers but I get a message that the Bluez Daemon is not running after I try to pair the adapter by pressing the button on it for 3 seconds. The BTD 600 is shown as a choice in Sound Settings and Pavucontrol but it won't pair with any other device such...

Yes I have had nvidia driver installation through update manager causing my monitor screen to go blank three times lately. My system is: Linux Mint 20.3, Nvidia GTX 1070, Intel 4770K, The last nvidia driver 535.113.01 also caused the screen to go blank. I pressed CTRL +ALT + F1 to go to a tty, even ...

I restored from timeshift back to mint 20.3. All working correctly now. All icons are back on desktop.

Yes I did take a timeshift backup before upgrading.

Thanks for answering. No not from Update Manager. I downloaded the source from a website. I cannot find the website I used now. I also cannot see it in the history of my web browser. I will show an image of where the website instructed me to put it with the python version and where it was compiled f...

Tried another theme: Adwaita. That did not solve the problem and I got similar result in terminal with nemo command. I found that nautilus file manager was also installed. Also I could open nautilus and files in nautilus. Is nemo or nautilus the default file manager for mint 21? Anyway I uninstalled...

I have upgraded from mint 20.3 and after downloading and compiling python3.10.11, I cannot open the file manager and there are no desktop icons. I have rebooted, that did not work. I tried reinstalling nemo, that did not work. I cannot right click on the desktop to show any menu. If I go to menu/fil...

I think that has solved the problem, using cinnamon display app. The resolution was selected wrong for primary AOC monitor at first, so the left hand quarter side of monitor was off the display area. I manually selected the resolution as 1440 x 900 and that has fixed it. I normally used the nvidia-s...

Yes that is correct. I tried the nvidia 465 driver from nvidia website. I have it installed now. I just wanted to see if it was the later driver that was causing the problem. The problem is still there with the nvidia 465 driver. I am finding that I can work around the problem to a certain extent. W...

Sorry I will post that again. I did not change gpu. I must have used inxi -fxxxrz on the wrong computer, not the computer with the actual problem. greg@greg-system-1 ~ $ inxi -Fxxxrz System: Kernel: 5.4.0-125-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 9.4.0 Desktop: Cinnamon 5.2.7 wm: muffin 5.2.1 dm:...

So I am stuck and even if I do get driver manager to reinstall the mint provided driver will the problem with monitors still persist? You listed doing so many things I'm not sure what you have done. If one is going to install from Driver Manager, one must make sure to remove any drivers installed m...

The problem was also when I was using the nvidia driver from hardware settings. I uninstalled that and installed a later version 515 but it was too new for my old GTX 780. I replaced it with the nvidia 470 driver downloaded from nvidia but it did not solve the problem. Also when I tried installing, ...

So that is what happens as the title says. In addition the mouse only works on the secondary monitor. I only have the secondary monitor switched on sometimes. The primary should stay for the AOC monitor. The secondary is an LG TV. With the mouse only working on the secondary monitor, this stops me s...

I did try sane-airscan but it did not work either. I have tried upgrading mint to 20, that allows the scanner to be detected but when I try to scan something, in Document Scanner I get a message: Unable to start scan. there are two drivers in this application to choose from when it starts: ESCL Can...

When I downloaded cnijfilter2 and scangearmp2 I extracted them and within the respective folders were subfolders named "packages". Within the packages folders were installable 32 bit and 64 bit driver files. By double-clicking the appropriate file gdebi launched, opened its' dialogue box ...

Getting a _uscan._tcp output means you can use a modern, competent scanning driver, which scangearmp is not. On Mint 21 users are given sane-airscan by default. You will have to download and install it from its upstream home at https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/pzz/xUbuntu_19.04/amd6...

My advice would be to ditch scangearmp; you will be much happier with the eventual outcome :D. But, just to be sure, first give avahi-browse -rt _ipp._tcp avahi-browse -rt _uscan._tcp avahi-browse -rt _ipp._tcp + enp3s0 IPv4 Canon TS6300 series Internet Printer local = enp3s0 IPv4 Canon TS6300 seri...
