i notice that the button that changes the graphic version disapered

Which button and the graphic version of what? Go to Help About if you are talking about a program.
Or maybe post a screenshot:
viewtopic.php?p=2092757#p2092757

Sometimes i cant install programs it fails, i tried to install wine

Which programs? Wine? You installed from Software Manager? Which version? What is the error message or response received?

When i boot up i was able to change if i want KDE or just default graphic version. I cant change anymore in that way.
Yes i tried to instal a few programs like wine in the terminal and it says: Command not found.
I think that someting strange is happening

Before, linux mint audio was working, but the microphone dosen't then i tried one command to make the microphone work, but that just make mint with no sound.

Sorry to not especify correctly, i'm using KDE Plasma

Linux Mint does not come with KDE Plasma. What do you have installed that you are seeing KDE Plasma?

If you installed it yourself on top of Linux Mint then that is probably why you are having problems.

If you want to use KDE, we recommend installing Kubuntu and not Linux Mint, especially if you are a beginner.

hm. Yes i have installed KDE Plasma in mint but before i try to make the microphone work the system was working great!
i'll keep that in mind. So can't i make it work again? because is hard to fix it?

[mikeflan]

but before i try to make the microphone work the system was working great!

Timeshift may help you.

[Display_name]

Thanks, im going to try now

[Display_name]

When i fix those probelms i'll install it, thanks. But
I didin't had timeshift installed before this happen. So it won't work?

[SMG]

When i fix those probelms i'll install it, thanks. But
I didin't had timeshift installed before this happen. So it won't work?

Timeshift is installed when one installs Linux Mint, but it does not run unless you tell it to run. If you did not run it before this happened then, no, you will not have Timeshift snapshots.

Please give us information about your install by entering this command in a terminal:

Code: Select all

inxi -Fxxxrz

Click </> from the mini toolbar above the textbox where you type your reply and then place your cursor between the code tags and paste the results of the command between the code tags [code]Results[/code]. This will let us know how Mint sees your hardware.

I discovered why i wasn't able to install wine. Its because if i copy and paste the codes it won't work, i have to write them.
xD

[Display_name]

When i boot up i see some errors i forgot to say this. It says sgx disabled by bios and some more stuff. What i have done, next time i'll try to learn how to code

[img][/file:///C:/Users/Vinicius/Downloads/Error%20photo.jpeg]

After showing this it boots up

[SMG]

I hope that i didint send someting wrong

You installed KDE. You decided to make a custom version of Linux Mint so the ability of others to help you decreases dramatically.

Your system lists Linux Mint 21.1, but I see packages which should be higher versions if one is running Linux Mint 21.1. How are you updating your system?

What version of Linux Mint did you install originally?

When i boot up i see some errors i forgot to say this. It says sgx disabled by bios and some more stuff.

SGX usually is disabled by the BIOS. There is nothing wrong with having it disabled.

The ACPI BIOS errors are also not a problem.

The "platform device creation failed" line would seem to indicate there might be an issue with the TPM device or setting in your computer's BIOS/UEFI.

Are you dual-booting with Windows?

[Display_name]

Yes, i'm dual-botting with windows, i told someone to install linux mint for me, and he installed the latest version im sure, but It's been a little while since i don't update things in mint or just it didin't updated the packges maybe

[SMG]

I don't know how KDE handles sound so someone else would have to help you.

In Linux Mint, all three of the below should be running. They normally start automatically when the computer boots.

Ok, thanks for hellping, so now we wait someone who knows how kde audio works.

+1. It's a very bad idea. Multiple desktops often cause problems, and more importantly it makes these problems a lot harder to diagnose. A backup and clean reinstall is usually the best way to fix things.

In addition, while askubumtu is a great source, that link you posted from there is 8 years old. Linux doesn't have a lot of backwards compatibility, so old links are trouble.

I use MX KDE on my main box, I'm a fan. But if you really do like KDE I'd suggest using a desktop that supports it, unless you're an expert who doesn't need support. MX is Debian based so you get older software than Mint or Ubuntu and ppas are NOT recommended in Debian. If you prefer a Ubuntu base try Kubuntu or Neon.
