And just to be potentially preemptive, let's also see the output of pacmd list-modules | grep blue Much shorter :-) peter@noah:~$ pacmd list-modules | grep blue name: <module-bluetooth-policy> module.description = "Policy module to make using bluetooth devices out-of-the-box easier" name:...

Thanks you, I wasn't aware of the pacmd command. peter@noad:~$ pacmd list-cards 2 card(s) available. index: 0 name: <alsa_card.pci-0000_01_00.1> driver: <module-alsa-card.c> owner module: 7 properties: alsa.card = "1" alsa.card_name = "HDA NVidia" alsa.long_card_name = "HDA ...

I installed pavucontrol and it looks nice, but the headphones are not displayed, only the existing NVidia card and the built-in Audio. It looks like pavucontrol 3.0-4 suffers from the same blindness as Sound Settings. I paired the headphones with my spare machine that I'm using to test Mint 20, and ...

I have a new BH-M20 Bluetooth headset/microphone combo which pairs and works immediately with my Android phone and my iMac. After some struggling, I got my HP Envy laptop (Mint 19) to "see" the new device, recognise it as a headset, and pair with it successfully. But I cannot find out how ...

Is it possible, when moving to another desktop which has only one window in it, to force focus to that window? It seems rather pointless to be able to switch desktops but for the pointer to stay where it is, if there's only one place for it to go. Or is it possible to make each desktop remember whic...

My mistake: it turns out that it's only Cinnamon which is blocked; all the others work, but because Cinnamon is at the top, it turns the forum entry green. BTW the rubric says "Please post suggestions for improvement of Cinnamon on:". This is misleading: I didn't want to post a suggestion,...

Posting new topics in Desktop & Window Managers seems to be blocked ("forum does not support posting").

Is this a policy, or is there some incantation I need to ask a question?

This is a production system, so I can't just randomly wipe and install, but it's now scheduled for Mint 20 once they fix the tzdata bug that places Dublin in continental Europe

As antikythera says. I expect that this particular bug will be fixed quickly: the lead developer of Mint, Clem, lives in Ireland.

I shall await an update, thank you

Try London instead

Very funny.

I just installed Mint 20 and along the way it gave me the world map interface to pick the time zone. I clicked Dublin and it highlighted the CET (central european) time zone, which is wrong. Ireland is on UTC/GMT alone with Portugal and the UK. I can't find a way to make it pick both Dublin and the ...

They are options in the Customise tab. https://i.imgur.com/pbViVOd.png My problem is I can't get that app on screen. I originally installed MATE, but now I want to use Cinnamon, so I did sudo apt install cinnamon, and rebooted, and logged in using cinnamon. Fine, all is well, but when I click on Me...

Worse, someone has removed the screen-lock message and settings from Screensaver. Where has it gone?

The Trash is in ~/.local/share/Trash

The icon in Applets does not respond to being clicked on, so it is not useful.

What is the best way to get the Trashcan on the desktop?

I'm trying to do this on a HP Envy 17, but the updated file recommended (https://whp-hou4.cold.extweb.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp84501-85000/sp84530.tar) is a .tar file, and when I convert it to .deb with alien, it refuses (rightly) to overwrite /etc/init.d/vcsFPServiceDaemon because it is also in package...

I have the exact opposite problem. In a new installation of Mint 19, all applications now open maximized.

How do I stop this?

I just installed Mint 19 Cinnamon on a HP Envy 7t, and all applications now open maximised.

This is not useful behaviour on a large hi-res screen,

Does anyone know how I can stop this?

Have I misunderstood this, that even at login time after a fresh boot, before any login, there is actually a whole theme active? On a single-user system, I can't understand why this would be, when the only interaction widget is the password field. What I want to do is have a login wallpaper that is ...

Thank you Penn for a great explanation. I have the same problem, having just installed Mint 19 on a new 4k 17" screen -- the controls are only a few pixels wide. I have resized the font so the windows are legible, but the controls remain tiny. I am assuming that theme designers have not yet loo...

Nope. I just installed Mint 19 and the problem is still there. Almost all applications open maximised by default and there seems to be no way to stop it.

Who would be the person responsible for this: obviously not an application developer, someone working on the OS.
