UPDATE - I upgraded the OS to 21.0 and the Bluetooth failure persists

I nw have Bose bluetooth headphones, and am trying to pair them with my ThinkPad X1 Carbon, running Mint 20.3 MATE. They pair easily with my android phone to play music, and so they are not broken. The headphones are usually present in the GUI (as not set up), but attempts to pair fail (failed to ad...

thanks for that Dude... I downloaded dconf editor but need to explore a lot more how it works before I have the confidence to edit from there. However.....it seems to show no custom shortcuts at all. I would say that is an expected result except for the fact that or my original shorts CTRL+ALT+V to ...

Hi all I set common programs to invoke with CTRL+ALT+W for writer for example, and CTRL+ALT+F for firefox. But just suddenly they have ceased to work. They display correctly in start > Preferences > keyboard shortcuts but hitting that key combination now does not work. Interesting CTRL+ALT+T does st...

thanks for your help here. Having learned the issue i found a useful tutorial with the relevant commands here https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=320504 In case anyone else has this issue. Unfortunately however the commons generated yet more errors so I gave up, installed Mint 20.3 on the o...

Hi all I closed by existing SSD with 256Gb to a new one with 1Tb using dd. To all intents and purposes the clone was fine, and when I plug the cloned drive into my laptop, I see the files as I would expect. But when I swap it out my laptop refused to boot with a curser in the top left corner, no gru...

Must be something like that I guess....my desktop doesn't have that issue. How would I fix that? Backup bookmarks and reinstall Firefox?

This seems a new issue... in Firefox 82.0 edit > preferences > search > one click search engines, I only have the option of Yahoo, duckduckgo, or wikipedia. If I click ' find more search engines' I go to https://www.linuxmint.com/searchengines.php there seems no way to add startpage (my preference ...

how do you suggest I mount the 1TB drive, at the moment it is in the /mnt directory as two desktop users need r/w access. It does look like the mount points are the issue but I don't know how to fix this! And no, I cant guarantee the 100% health of the 128GB drive, ive backed up all data and in case...

hiya I had to reinstall the OS (Mate 17.3) as the HDD had a corrupt partition. Since then it has been really slow in booting up, with the offender seeming to be udisks2.service. The architecture here is the OS running on a 128gb SSD (sda), with storage (sdb) on a 1TB spinning disks drive. There are ...

Just installed 19.3 MATE on my new laptop. Been a user for several years now. But I'm having seriues issues setting a custom shortcut in Menu > Keyboard shortcuts. for example for firejail firefox I set CTRL+ALT+F. The shortcut is set, but then fails with pop up error Error while trying to run (CTRL...

well just wow! (and thanks for your help Andy). But...it turns out the issue was nothing to do with permissions or anything or the kind. I discovered this by chance when exploring a bit further further and found that pdt or txt files on this drive (or indeed on an inserted USB stick) opened perfectl...

Further update.
1) I used system restore to go back beyond today update and the issue is still the same, so nothing to do with the update.
2) Trying with a USB stick get exactly the same issue, so it is generic somewhere...

This has suddenly broken! (After sytemd update??) Here is the architecture. Desktop has two drives, one for the OS (19.1 MATE). And the other, an internal HDD, for all files. This is accessible by both users. when I try to access a file on this drive i get access was denied. The other user has the s...

perfect - many thanks

thanks for quick reply - let me check and try and again and get back to you

I'm trying to assign customer keyboard shortcuts using > preferences >keyboard shortcuts. I successfully set up Ctrl+alt+f with the command firejail firefox, to launch firefox within the firejail sandbox. But when I try to do the same with, for example Ctrl+alt+w to launch writer Ctrl+alt+k to launc...

well from the pale moon site, but the issue is universal, its not limited to palemoon. I expect it to open with the gdebi-gtk installer but it never does...
