Apple Magic Mouse not visible

Hi everyone I have just installed LMDE 6 on my Black Macbook (dated 2006). Everything works fine except for one thing: I am not able to connect my bluetooth Apple Magic Mouse. When I turn it on and try to discover it using the Bluetooth Devices gui it simply does not show up. I am aware there are ot...

Re: Mint 18.3 64bit on a Macbook 2.1

Hi thanks fabien85 for finding what I was not able to. I have tried to install the first of the 8 branch (8.9.0.1) and the result is the same. I have tried also the last of the 5 branch (5.5.01) and when I run it it says: "This version is supported anymore". I guess I have to figure out a ...

Re: Mint 18.3 64bit on a Macbook 2.1

I have investigated the chance of downgrading Skype (at this point it is sure it's its problem) but I was not able to find a version of the 8 branch before the actual one (8.17). I have found the latest of the 4 branch (4.3) but it crashes as soon as I do login. Funny thing: if I plug in an external...
