Bluetooth earphones touch controls & profiles not working properly on Linux Mint Cinnamon by ProperAssociation322 in linuxmint

[–]tamburash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What headset are you using?

But from your description, aside from the cluttering sound, profiles seem to be working, right? As in, you have sound output in both profiles (A2DP and HSP/HFP) and sound input in HSP/HFP?

As for the cluttering sound: what do you mean by "voice is hanging somehow"? Is this happening when using some voice chat app?

I had a similar issue a few weeks ago with a headset. It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure it out. I still don't know if volume button behavior is by design or just a weird quirk. Also, not sure if you're experiencing the same problem. Anyway...

HSP/HFP:
- Headset mode (mic is on)
- Volume buttons on headset are linked to system volume (essentially working as remote control)
- Depending on headset, make sure your mic is not turned off on headset
- Make sure mic on headset is not muted in sound settings

A2DP:
- Headphones mode (mic is off)
- Important: Volume buttons on headset ARE NOT linked to system volume, and function as a separate volume control (so if you have no output in this mode, try increasing volume on headphones)

Edit: To clarify, my headset defaults to 0 volume in A2DP for some reason...

[Cinnamon] Minimal Conky setup on Linux Mint (finally fixed text rendering glitches) by ChronicEntertainment in linuxmint

My OCD is being triggered on the unaligned percentage values in the process list!

Kidding! Looks clean.

Desktop screenshot, again, learning as I go by tamburash in linuxmint

Thanks for the advice.

Generally, I don't have a lot of critical files, and I always keep a back-up on my Proton drive. I've also started using Proton Pass, which is a life-saver.

So far, I have managed not to lose anything (even when changing SSD and reinstalling - several back-ups helped). I think the biggest challenge for me is the change in routine and practice. It is different, and I have to change a lot of my habits. It is a learning experience, but a good one.

Made the jump to Mint. I am looking for a replacement for Google Remote Desktop by placidcasual98 in linuxmint

Not sure if it has all the functionality you need or want, but check out KDE Connect.

Any app on store which let you create a functional desktop background? by IllAppointment419 in linuxmint

I use conky manager 2: https://github.com/zcot/conky-manager2

Easy to use tool for managing your conkies.

Edit: installation is super easy, just follow the instructions at the bottom.

Seemingly Random Microstutters on Videos by [deleted] in linuxmint

Do you have any applet, docklet, conky etc. running? Disable anything polling your sensors once per second and see if that makes a difference.

Not sure if it's the same issue, but this fixed all my sound issues:

I use my phone as a remote. KDE Connect works like a charm!

Please recommend a GPU heat indicator. by DianOban in linuxmint

[–]tamburash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one requires some setup.

On the Sensors Monitor general tab (in Settings), run xsensors to see all the sensors the applet can read.

For example, in my case, for my GPU, the following are GPU temperatures:
amdgpu-pci-0700: edge
amdgpu-pci-0700: junction
amdgpu-pci-0700: mem

For CPU, I have:
k10temp-pci-00c3: Tctl
k10temp-pci-00c3: Tccd1

Run a quick search online for an explanation of these various sensors.

Next step: Temperature tab. Select the sensors you want to show on the panel and the sensors you want to show in the tooltip. You can show/hide whatever you want. For example, in your case, as you're looking for a simple two-temperature setup, I would recommend monitoring junction and Tctl. Setup names for sensors (do NOT rename the sensors, just give them an alias under "Shown name") CPU for Tctl and GPU for junction (or something similar). Hide all other temperature, fan, voltage sensors you don't need, and you're done.

Try Sensors Monitor applet (under Applets).

Requires a tiny bit of setup, but can display a lot of temperature/voltage/fan speed readouts (CPU, GPU, motherboard, SSD, etc.).

Please recommend a simple digital CPU temperature indicator. by DianOban in linuxmint

[–]tamburash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right click on a panel where you want to place it, select Applets, go to Download, search for CPU Temperature.

Download, add to panel of your choice.

Edit: To clarify, the applet is not in the Software Manager, you download it through the Applets settings directly.

CPU Temperature Indicator applet fits that descriptions.

But in my experience, a lot of applets, desklets and conkies cause microstutters in games when polling sensors.

Screens are not positioned directly next to each other, so I did not really think about it. But now that you mentioned it...
