I have a new headset from Shoks - an Opencomm 2. It works fine with my iPhone, but not with my desktop (which is really what I bought it for). The new headset is not discovered in the Blueman gui. Using bluetoothctl I can see and pair with my old headset, but not with the new one. All help gratefull...

... no it wouldn't. System hangs during boot. Using advanced options I get a message a start job is running for [uid of my data disk] . However using only this line *seems* to start as normal: LABEL=data /mnt/data auto defaults,x-gvfs-show 0 2 So my questions now are: * Did the entries conflict? Wou...

looking at this again: /dev/disk/by-uuid/feb0a0f8-d370-49eb-8ba9-216c8c038ed0 /srv/data auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0 LABEL=data /mnt/data auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0 Seems that I may be mounting the drive twice? Is this bad? I pointed timeshift to a directory on that partiti...

If you mean the program 'disks' then yes, that is my preferred way. Though I could easily have chosen wrong options.......

The 'main' drive is a mix - it was the installed windows, and still is bootable to windows: Partition 1 (/dev/nvme0n1p1): 105MB FAT mounted at /boot/efi Partition 2 (/dev/nvme0n1p2): 17 MB Microsoft Reserved Partition 3 (/dev/nvme0n1p3): 160GB NTFS (windows partiton) Partition 5: (/dev/nvme0n1p5): 2...

Sorry, missed this post yesterday. cat /etc/fstab # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices # that works even if disks are added and removed.

Hi all, happy Mint user here. Except that sometimes my second solid drive does not mount properly. Most of the time its fine, but sometimes it mounts read-only, and sometimes it mounts with no files/directories. Other times it does not mount at all. 90% of the time it mounts fine, read-write (which ...

Thanks again Jeremy.
I guess that at my skill level there was nothing I could do except wait for a kernel with the code in it. Makes me feel slightly less inept.

My thanks also to you and all the folk like you making Linux such a great OS.

Thanks for that JeremyB. Sorry I took so long to reply - I didn't get an email notification 'coz it does not seem to add automatically. My bad :oops: . Secure boot was disabled (I think that that was necessary to install Mint?). The magic incantations worked well. I now have Bluetooth icon and bluet...

I have a new dual boot machine. On win 11 the Bluetooth works fine, but there is no Bluetooth icon in the control section of the panel. So I am guessing that this is a driver thing..... The very first time that I ran Mint on the machine there was a Bluetooth icon in the tray, but when I clicked it I...

Sure,and thanks sleeper12.
I am not sure what power manager is in these circumstances though - something managing the power delivered to the hardware that does the wifi rx/tx? Will that have implications for battery usage? (I would rather use the battery a bit harder and have internet)

Was this the change that you were expecting to see: iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. wlp0s20f3 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"vodafoneA58CD0" Mode:Managed Frequency:5.3 GHz Access Point: D6:35:1D:A5:8C:D8 Bit Rate=26 Mb/s Tx-Power=22 dBm Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Manage...

Thanks for that Antikythera, How does a person learn about what to edit and why? I feel as a software dev of many years I should (be able to) understand this stuff. (Mainly app development on higher level languages like java/kotlin, but I have served some time on assembler and C/C++). Folk on this f...

Understood, but thanks for trying.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have been suffering some other problems with restore from suspend. Unfortunately I get this: drphill@drphill:~$ sudo sed -i 's/3/2/' /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf [sudo] password for drphill: sed: can't read /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-...

I am running LMDE with XFCE. I do not understand network troubleshooting very well, and when I have no network I cannot google answersexcept on my tiny phone..... very irritating. My laptop runs fine for a few boots, and then I will boot and networking will not happen. As far as I can tell the syste...

A little more info.
Running in a default cinnamon session I can still cause the problem executing in a terminal but not when executing .

Hi all, I am back to Mint after flirting with Ubuntu. More specifically I want to try LMDE. Very happy so far except for one annoying bug. I am running LMDE with xfce on a Dell XPS13 and using an external LG monitor (mirrored). When I run a java app from the terminal or from the ide the monitor goes...

That did the trick (although fumble fingers missed one. I'll get it next time)

Thanks Jeremy that has tidied up an irritation for me. I am very grateful for your help.
