[...] APPIMAGE files. These files install nothing and come complete with all the libraries, etc., required by the application. Prior my first post I did some research about AppImage and Flatpak (or Snap)... I agree with you about AppImage, and it's also very simple to use. But AppImage apparently r...

I just used virustotal.com to scan a .deb file. It came up with no detections.

You mean that there was no known threat or that nothing was shown in return?

I'm aware that as a rule of thumb software should be installed from Software Manager, but it's not always possible. I was wondering if there is a way to check if a Deb package I've found on Internet is safe to install? I don't have enough knowledge to understand what is inside the package would do p...

I suppose your mouse has already been paired... so in your terminal run:
bluetoothctl
It will give a result of all your bluetooth devices.
Then select your MAC mouse ID and after [bluetooth]# run:
info followed by your MAC mouse ID.
and post the result here.

Hi Xzatar,
I had the same problem... so if you still have not found a solution, let me know.

mouse pointer which jumps erratically

post your inxi though--I have 18.3 kde available for testing,

Have you had some time to do a test?

CPU~Dual core Intel Core i7-6600U (-HT-MCP-) speed/max~1259/3400 MHz Kernel~4.15.0-76-generic x86_64 Up~1:26 Mem~2335.6/15860.0MB HDD~512.1GB(78.8% used) Procs~232 Client~Shell inxi~2.2.35

I always had problems with the mouse pointer which jumps erratically and recently I found a method which worked for little while, see comment 32, but does not anymore.
In fact now my touchpad does not work at all. Should I reinstall xserver-xorg-input-synaptics or is there an alternative?

I finally found why the sounds was completely messed up on my laptop. The culprit was: Firejail. Since I uninstalled Firejail the sound is working fine everywhere.
Thank very much for your help MrEen.

Hello MrEen, Sorry to disturb you again... I finally got a response from someone at VB forum. The guy who is trying to help me he/she is not a Linux/Pulse audio guy and could not interpret this: 00:00:44.329493 Audio: Enable stream '[PulseAudio] Front' failed with VERR_INVALID_POINTER 00:00:55.46391...

When everything but VBox is working, shut down the guest OS, go to Settings > Audio and change 'Audio: ICH AC97' to 'Audio: Intel HD Audio' then restart the guest OS. Thanks but I had tried to change that before and it did not work. I tried all different combinations of 'Host audio Driver' and 'Aud...

Thanks Flemur but I had already tried apulse and it did not work... When I launched VB, sounds is working fine in VB but not in SMPlayer, Firefox, etc, and when I run pulseaudio -k then the sound comes back in SMPlayer and Firefox but stops in VB. SMPlayer and VB have always been properly configured...

I think what you need to do is run pulseaudio -k , then launch VB. Yes, if I do that the sound works on VB but the sound is not working on SMPlayer. Then if I run pulseaudio -k again, the sound comes back on SMPlayer but does not work anymore on VB. When VB is running and I use pulseaudio -k then t...

Isn't it strange when I run pulseaudio -k that actually pulseaudio starts working on Firefox and SMPlayer? It should be the opposite... Again I still don't have sound on VirtualBox... I thought that running pulseaudio --start would make the sound comes back on VirtualBox, but it does not... Any othe...

Actually it changes everyday... Today I had sound on VirtualBox, Firefox and SMPlayer... I wonder for how long.
I'll let you know.
I am using W7 Pro on VB 5.2.30

I found something interesting... It's not only when I reboot my computer that pulseaudio turns off by itself. It turns off like that from time to time (I haven't discovered why yet). When pulseaudio is off I have sound on VirtualBox but NOT on Firefox and SMPlayer. When I run pulseaudio -k the sound...

I'm sorry. For KDE users the command should have been kdesudo ... . I've never used KDE and totally forgot about that. That's ok, no worry. Regarding VirtualBox, is vboxusers in the output from running groups $USER in the terminal? Yes, it does appear in the output... But there is no sound on Virtu...

Users of 18.3 and earlier versions of Mint type this in the terminal: gksudo xed /etc/pulse/default.pa Did not do anything. So I opened my file manager in root, found the line and changed it. If still no change, in the terminal enter gksudo xed /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf then enter your passwor...

Now that pulseaudio has been reinstalled SMPlayer does not work again. I changed the audio settings, I tried pulse, alsa, etc, but nothing works.
Firefox also does not work.

Here you are: I am hearing sound from the Built-in Speakers and sometimes from Headphones.
