Thank you for the explanation. Simplenote export from the desktop app includes json file and all notes as separate text files (which is what I wanted). Export from the Android app only downloaded the json (which I now see is not much use on its own). So problem solved...

I don't know, perhaps it is solely for importing back into Simplenote! Is that the code they use to display the notes in their web app and android app? But I want to have a copy of my notes on my computer. Is there some way of seeing the actual content of this json file, not wrapped up in code?

I am using Simplenote and want to export my notes. The export data option produces a json file, but how do I actually display the notes contained within that file and not just view the file in its 'code' form - ie it looks like an html file, so presumably I need some software that interprets that ju...

I have a Sony Vaio (Windows 10) laptop and have to use that OS sometimes! My Linux system runs from an external hard disk (I know this is not the most efficient way to run LInux). I can access the laptop disc, load files into my linux programs, copy (but not move) files to Linux hard drive - but I c...

AndyMH & kc1di - thank you so much for your info and advice - very helpful

I have 25Gb system (/) and 475Gb storage (/home) partitions on my laptop HDD. Having set up my Mint system now and installed more programs that I regularly use, I find my system partion is over 90% full - obviously I did not allocate enough room for the Linux OS when I installed. Can I make the syst...

Oh yes - under System, the entry for Bluetooth device states (none). That would explain the situation!

Well, Bluetooth Manager error is;
I have tried to install Bluez and tried to start it with this command;
But still error from Bluetooth Manager. So;
Is Bluez installed? Is it running? Does my laptop have no Bluetooth capability?

Running Mint 21.2 on a Dell Precision M4600. It obviously has Bluetooth capability, but I can't get this working under Mint. I have looked up several forum topics and other web pages giving advice and solutions - some are rather confusing - to me! - or don't seem to produce the expected outcome. Oth...

:oops: On my (newly acquired) Dell laptop, there are 2 USB 3.0 ports on the right hand side - which I had inserted my Bootable USB stick into. USB stick would not boot from these. On the left hand side there are 2 USB 2.0 ports. When I tried one of these the laptop booted from the USB stick and now ...

I want to install Linux Mint on my Dell Precision Laptop - presently running Windows10 PRO. It will not boot from my bootable USB. The BIOS settings look as though the Boot Sequence is set up to boot from the USB, but it does not. Perhaps it is one of the others? DellBootSequenceSmall.jpg There is a...

Thank you for your replies.... nice to be reassured. I know there can never be any guarantees, but this forum is very supportive in overcoming problems if any arise...

Thank you, but not being knowledgeable about technical specifications, this does not give me any helpful information. What I want to know is, would that laptop run Linux Mint and would all features work eg wi-fi, bluetooth, connection to printer (HP), graphics etc. I have successfully installed Linu...

I have heard that Dell laptops run Linux OS well. Can anyone comment on the Dell Vostro P63F - Intel i5 as suitable for installing latest Mint version?

Thank you - that did it - purge - reboot - install

from terminal - after about 10 seconds

$ celluloid
Failed to register: Timeout was reached

Celluloid has suddenly stopped working on my laptop. I have uninstalled/reinstalled, but to no avail. It is still showing up as the default video program. I have recently installed vlc, could that be conflicting or has changed settings etc? Kernel: 5.15.0-41-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: ...

Thank you again and for explanations. Helps me understand more about Linux...
