I looked at those solutions and installed pulse - could not find Bridge in the repositories with no success.
I've given up, I was hoping to use it as a pass thru (along with efx) to mix a guitar with pre recorded audio. Back to the pedal and a mixer.

Personally, I would just format and re-load the OS. - YES I am aware that people can (and do) recover data on old drives, typically, however, most people have little knowledge or desire to attempt a data recovery, especially on an old second hand computer. Unless, of course, you surname is Trump and...

Welcome to Linux, you don't need to install inxi - it is part of Linux, you must enter that command in a command window (ergo: DOS box in Wingewoes speak)

Is there another solution I can use to keep my books uncorrupted?

Make a copy and store the copy elsewhere.

Agreed!

To me, stability! It does not take forever to update, no random re-starts without my permission, waaaaay more secure than the competition. Could I go on?

Back again! on the proper laptop, specs attached. Whenever I fire up JACK with, or without Rakarrak running it clobbers all sound output from the laptop. e.g. I put on a song in VLC and the moment I start Jack sound disappears, the moment I close it sound returns. It also clobbers system sounds too....

I can confirm the issue - I printed one page on my printer and all notes and key signatures were replaced with letters. I was hoping to get lucky and tried "print to file" and, even there the notes and key sigs were replaced. There may be a font that is missing from my system and substitut...

Your system specs look to be ok. What say you try a new spreadsheet. Copy and paste the data from the old one, say one section at a time, testing as you go. See if the problem follows the data if it suddenly occurs with one section of data, you've identified the problem area. IIRC (Can't be more spe...

I'd be critical of your computer before I'd be critical of Calc. I am happily running spreadsheets of multiple tabs and hundreds of columns and rows many with formulae in them with no issues at all. Post the output of inxi -Fxmzd and we might have a better idea of where your problem lies

I changed out the video card and am now running MATE on that machine,

I get that occasionally because I have access to two network ports (one via USB which is on a hub that I use to extend my keyboard/mouse) If I forget to disable the USB network driver, I get regular pop ups telling me that my network has disconnected although I am still using it,

Thanks for that. I'll pull the machine apart and check the card. I'm also going to see if it will boot to MATE.

I'm attempting to install Cinnamon onto a computer that was (some years ago) working (I think it was 19.3) can't recall wnhen. Problem is, the machine occasionally works using the Cinnamon 20 recovery option, but not reliably enough to produce an INXI report. I'm extremely suspicious of video driver...

I just right click on a folder and select "open in new window", what's so hard about that?

Typically commands are entered into Terminal, however, I am unaware of any apps that require a command to complete the process of installation. To what app do you refer? Unless, of course, you are referring to the requirement to enter your password.

I'm an idiot! I just realised why it worked before, and not now. When I was away, I was using a different laptop, when I got home I swapped the HDD back into my main laptop which, apparently, does not have the requisite hardware. I shall swap back to the other lappy, and see if that solves my proble...

It was working when I set it up but now it won't initialise. I've uninstalled and re-installed Jack and I get the same error messages. My next attempt is going to re-install Linux if I cannot get this working fairly easily.

I loaded this program whilst I was travelling and am now home and trying to make it work. IIRC it did load correctly in that I saw what looked to be a useful tool when I tested it on the road, but did not have the instruments to test it with until I got home. Now that I am ready to play with it, all...

Thanks Murray. That fixed it!

Thanks guys, I was using the one from the repositories. I shall remove it and try the other, thank you
