Linux Mint Forums

Nevermind.
I figured it out.
For those who wonder, edit the /etc/lsb-release file.
I hope the LinuxMint team fixes this problem.

Hi there.
I just upgraded from Mint 17.3 and for some reason, the settings haven't really been changed from trusty to xenial.
When I am trying to add a PPA, it tells me that the PPA is not supported on Trusty.
So how do I fix this? Where is this distro name info stored so I can fix it?

Hi. I've been trying to install the QT version of Openshot, but keep getting errors. According to this message, it cannot find the sip module, which I indeed have installed.

Thanks

Hi there.
I am getting this error while I am trying to render a video:

*** Error in `/usr/bin/melt': munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0x00000000009b8460 ***

Any idea what this means and how to fix it?

HI there.
I just bought a new bluetooth USB device.
It works great, but it's turned off by default.
This is very annoying because now because of pulseaudio I have to pair my headphones every time I wanna use em.

I know it doesn't appear on that list. But then why does this command list a bluetooth device?

chris@chris-MS-7916 ~ $ lsmod | grep bluetooth
bluetooth 491520 10 bnep,rfcomm

Ah okay. I see. Thank you.

Thank you Zaileion. I'll give it a shot. But won't that reset to factory settings? I don't wanna do that. I tried draining the battery by having the PC on and unplugged over night, but it didn't work. I can't believe they make it this complicated. I've only had the laptop for like a week, and then t...

Thanks but pressing any key makes the keyboard freeze.
So no use.
Guess I gonna have to contact ASUS or something.

I can use F12 or comma. Same function. Both makes the keyboard "freeze". If anyone know what to do here, please help. According to all my googleing, this is a common problem on this ASUS series. Apparently, I have to reset the BIOS. Is there a way I can do this without removing the battery? Because ...

JeremyB wrote:Has bluetooth ever worked even on another OS?

Never tested. I've only used Mint 17 on this pc.
But from the log, as yo can see, the bluetooth is recognized and should work fine.
And I've disabled UEFI from Bios, so that shouldn't be the problem either.

It appears that something went awry here, but I doubt it had anything to do with volume groups :? My computer is now stuck at the motherboard logo screen. I can't access bios. If I press the comma key, the keyboard freezes. Is the comma key some special function key during boot :?: Can you boot the...

Hi there. I can't get bluetooth working on my desktop PC. 491520 10 bnep,rfcomm I've tried some kernels, but with no luck. Is there a firmware deb installation out there?

Hi again. I rebooted. But I shouldn't have done that. My computer is now stuck at the motherboard logo screen. I can't access bios. If I press the comma key, the keyboard freezes.

Thank you. So what's a volume group?

I looked on Intel's web site and they had NO linux drivers at all.

Thank you. Yea I can't believe they don't.

Did you download the firmware package that FullTimer1489 linked to and install? It did work. Wish that would've been part of the kernel. And I'm not on kernel 4.4. So I guess the problem's been solved. Thanks again, guys :) Btw, the audio glitch is still there. I know it's off topic, but do you kno...
