yeah I felt this. I’m having a specific issue with my mint install that I can’t figure out for the life of me and no one has any answers (or bothered to leave any comments on the forum…)
edit: I love y’all for helping me so much but I somehow broke tf out of my mint install on the flash drive. I have no idea how. it literally says “something went seriously wrong” in the BIOS and then shuts the PC off when I try to launch the mint OS. gonna do a clean install… again…
oh boy
ok so I’m running a mint cinnamon edge install on my laptop, booted off a flash drive for now. currently, my biggest issue is the mic. Presently, whenever I try to use my mic, it instead takes whatever audio output my system is currently producing (be that music from YouTube or system sounds) and thinks that that is the input. it does not however, pick up anything with my voice. this happens both with my built in laptop speaker and when I connect my Bluetooth headphones and try to use the mic on those.
I’ve fiddled with pavucontrol settings for a while and wasn’t able to fix it. it seems like it’s not detecting my built in mic, saying it’s unplugged or something, but that doesn’t explain why I have the same issue with my headphones.
I’m thinking it has something to do with the fact that it’s a live session from a flash drive instead of a full install on my PC, but I’m hesitant to do a full install without finding fixes for issues I might run into first.
if you can figure something out, that’d be incredible and I would thank you sincerely and owe you one; if not that’s fine, I really don’t know what I’m gonna do other than take the plunge and full install, hoping that’ll fix it
Currently have windows booted to partition my drive and make space for a full Linux install, so I can’t do that command right away. here’s an inxi -Fxz command though from before, does this help any?
I only just realized my previous comment formatted like total ass, I’m so sorry. I’ll check it out, but it seems like I fucked up the Linux install somehow, to the point where it says “something went seriously wrong” in the BIOS before shutting my PC off. I have no idea what I did wrong since I didn’t even touch the flash drive it was on.
Edit: Possibly resolved. Noticed there were a bunch of updates that mint wanted to install, but which required a reboot. Live sessions reset everything on reboot, so I obliterated windows and did a full install, then updated. Mic issues seem to be resolved now, dunno what update it was that fixed it. I only say possibly resolved...
haha, yeah it’s a lot of set up, even for one of the supposedly easier distros to use. Other than the mic issues, though, I haven’t really run into any other troubles yet, at least using Cinnamon Edge.

Linux noob using mint for the first time, decided to boot from a flash drive before fully installing on my PC, just to try it out first. I’m having issues getting Wi-Fi to work during the live session though; clicking the Wi-Fi icon only brings up Network Settings and Network connections. Network connections lets me try to set...
did the lspci -vv command, if the network controller is the WiFi chip, then I got: Network Controller: Realtek Semiconductor Con., Ltd. Device b85b. Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 88e6. Flags: fast devsel, IRQ 255, IOMMU group 10 I/O ports at f000 [disabled] [size=256] Memory at fce00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [disabled] [size=1M] Capabilities: <access denied>
not sure if that’s the right thing. I also found another command that supposedly returns only the wireless card lspci -vq | grep -i wireless -B 1 -A 5 but that only returns the following line: pcilib: Error reading /sys/bus/PCI/devices/0000:00:08.3/label: Operation not permitted
I did the sudo dmesg command, but it returned so much info I’m not sure what’s relevant or not. Is there anything specific within the log I should be looking for?
Not sure how to connect to my phone’s hotspot via Bluetooth, or if my Bluetooth drivers also need updating lmao. What drivers should I be looking for then, and where can I find them?
The sudo rfkill --list command just returns rfkill: unrecognized option. Appending sudo to the beginning of the other command I listed (the -vq | grep one) didn’t work: it returns pcilib: Error reading /sys/bus/PCI/devices/0000:00:08.3/label: Operation not permitted`.
I’ll check out that site and see if there’s anything there that can help. otherwise I might just format the drive and do a clean install, see if maybe that will fix it.
Yeah it was fun in the beginning, after all who never thought about being transported to another world where you ate a big hero with swords and magic?...
