My pleasure! At least patience paid off, partially - for the moment.
You got WiFi active now. I wouldn’t worry about other Bluetooth drivers for the moment. It could be a manager issue, which we can try to resolve tomorrow.
Remember, your WiFi and Bluetooth reside on the same chip.
Thanks again!
Prolly speak tomorrow.
Don’t mention it! And yes, I believe we will!
Meanwhile, enjoy the victory away from WindowZzz!
Btw - ‘Unable to locate package vlc’ error
Other 2 went fine
Okay, VLC wants to hide. We’ll bring it out via:
sudo snap install vlc
I believe that should do it.
That did it. You know your stuff!!!
After all the times I’ve done them, I better! If at times I appear confused, is because I’m helping a dozen people at a time (in other two platforms of this movement).
Pulling my hair out.
Trying to install Unity3D but there are known issues that some people have kludgy workarounds for.
One example requires install of menulibre (sudo apt install menulibre), but my system can’t find that package. Any clue why that might be?
I know Unity is not your area, but thought I’d check with you. Nothing in this forum on Unity as far as I can see.
I’m at my wits end with this.
Often i have found that if it isn’t on the APT repository, it can be found on another, like snap. If you have snap installed, I would check that. Use:
sudo snap install menulibre
If you don’t have snap, install it with this:
sudo apt install snapd
If its not there, I would do a websearch for “how to install menulibre” in your search engine of choice.
Also, as a general tip:
You can search each repository in the terminal.
For APT:
apt search <search phrase here>
For snap:
snap find <search phrase here>
For pacman:
sudo pacman -Ss <search phrase here>
Thanks. I’m new to Linux, although used Unix a fair bit back in the 80s and 90s. Learning on the go big time
Hey, I’m new too! Were all learning here! No worries!
Hey @vasileios … Thanks again for helping me get a working kernel going.
Having major issues getting Unity installed - I’ll post a screenshot tomorrow - could just be something simple in 21.10. Can’t find anyone else having the same issue.
In the meantime - any ideas what might be causing my bluetooth not to work? I can apparently ‘switch it on’, but it basically stays off.
Hey, Steve!
When it comes to Unity, there’s the AppImage option. Or at least there used to be. I’m not on a Linux system at the moment, so I can’t verify the following download:
https://unity3d.com/get-unity/download
What is the AppImage?
It’s a fully self-contained package, that includes all the dependencies and libraries alongside the executable. This means that Unity3D (in this case) will not be looking to see what type of libraries you have within your system - as it already has them in its contained package.
One you hit download and indeed it’s an AppImage file, then go to your Downloads folder (once it’s done downloading), right click on it and select Properties. Then head to the Permissions tab and check the last option where it says Allow Execution. Then you can either double-click on the file to run it, or you can open the terminal and type in the name of the Unity’s AppImage, with the ./ in the beginning of it.
As it comes to your BlueTooth, before you go on ahead to a link I had a glimpse at, please make sure to install and run TimeShift. This is like macOS’ Time Machine or Windows’ Restore Point. Once you set it up and you run it, it will create a backup of your system and settings, so - if something goes wrong - you can restore it back.
Then you can have a look at this guy and see if any of the options help:
Thanks! I’ll check out the Bluetooth link.
As regards the AppImage, I already did what you are saying.
But when I click the Unity Hub Sign In button I get this…
From what I can gather from reading about this, it’s supposed to sign in via a browser… But I’m not 100% sure about that
You are correct. The sign-in links are browser by default, so you can select whichever browser you have as your preferred one when it asks you to choose another application.
Ok thanks. Btw I used to use Chrome / Duck Duck Go on my Mac. Is the default Firefox the best option in your opinion? What do you use?
