Sorry Mate 21 Power manager 1.26.0

I've upgraded to Mint 21. The Power Management Applet gives completely wrong battery charge information. It says it has aeons of charge left when it hasn't (well over 10 hours) and the reverse is true when charging - the graph and tooltip suggests its going to take a lot longer to charge than it doe...

Tried upgrade to mint 21 no change. Company looking into Linux version. This is not solved. How do I mark it?

Set up a symbolic link so ls -l ~/.wine/dosdevices/ Oct 5 22:12 com1 -> /dev/ttyUSB0 followed this guide https://wiki.winehq.org/Wine_User%27s_Guide#Serial_and_Parallel_Ports but I still get the same errors 18724.696190] usb 1-2: new full-speed USB device number 25 using xhci_hcd [18724.848570] usb ...

I got this to work https://g8ogj.org/files/Using%20USB%20serial%20ports%20under%20wine%20howwto%20ipb.pdf but the device is still invisible also when I run winecfg I get Read access denied for device L"\\??\\F:\\", FS volume label and serial are not available. Any clues anyone?

Thanks. I tried F but the problem is the software itself doesn't allow you choose the drive.

Thanks for your kind reply spamegg (like python reference) but what drive do I set it as?

This seems to be the right board to post carrying on with the problem but please redirect me if not. I want to buy a temperature datalogger, So I rang the company concerned helpline and they said yes it'll be fine the configuration file is a txt file on the USB device and although it comes with soft...

Going to keyboard layouts and selecting 'advanced' then 'default' in both numeric keypad layout and behavior seems to solve this in mint 20. I've been testing it since the post just to make sure.

Yes sorry. I've tried setting the default numeric keyboard layout options in the keyboard settings.

Thanks I have had a search, I'll contact the company.

I've got an irritating problem with my number lock key. I want it on by default. I've installed the software to control it, but after I come out of suspend when I put my laptops lid down its often off, but not always.

Anyone had this problem and found a solution. Using Linux mate 20

For various eco reasons I want to buy a usb temperature data-logger. The problem is of course it only comes with windows software. I know nothing about it except its compatible all the way back to XP. What is the likelyhood of it working with wine? Running Mint 20 and wine 5.03 Does anyone know of a...

I bought a different cable DVI-M to HDMI. The colour and image are better and scribus doesn't cause the problem I guess it was a hardware issue, but it was very strange.

This is an interesting problem. I've tried attaching several different external monitors to my laptop and my wife's laptop. My wife has brought a windows machine home for work purposes but would like to use her Linux laptop with the second monitor too. The TV using an HDMI cable works fine. No probl...

I followed the debian instructions on this link and it works (also tested on suspend) https://ibcomputing.com/install-wifi-driver-broadcom-bcm43142-linux/ I had to go this MOK password business which I don't understand. This maybe the route of the problem all along since it asked me for this after i...

I've run through all the stuff in the link you sent me Larry. The only thing that has changed is that if I do a sudo lshw -class network -short the device is now listed correctly when it wasn't I think before and if I run sudo lshw its not shown as unclaimed, however it still has no logical device n...

Thanks for the link Larry its pretty comprehensive- I will try it later. Interestingly the bluetooth is working fine so if its from the same bit of hardware then its presumably a software issue...

My wife's laptop has lost the ability to use wifi. I was away when this happened and don't know exactly what happened. I suggested she try an update. When I returned the network manager icon in the taskbar showed no wifi or enable wifi options. for iwconfig no wireless lshw gave a "network uncl...

Thanks done that I'll see how I get on. The link has all sorts of other useful stuff on it. Ta Pjotr keep safe.
