Thank you Ralph, that made one error has go away.
plasma bluetooth setting gui, had a "click here yo FIX" kind of message everytime I looked at it, it's gone now.
The taskbar bt icon says it's paired, has a mac address, adaptor name and Trusted.
I'll reboot the system later on and check it again. Thanks.

I managed to use that as a hack, to copy the binary(s) to /lib/firmware/rtl_bt/
And I see it load, but now I have a problem with the hand-shake and the P7 headphones pairing, but the bluetooth app on the plasma taskbar says it is paired and it is trusted.
I'll keep working on this later... thank you for your assistance, I got a long way from where I was by myself, much appreciated.

Thank you for your reply, I already have it for my wifi card. I did a search of the system for "RTL8761B_FW.bin" without the caps, came up with nothing.

Hi I have recieved a Realtek Bluetooth 5.0 usb dongle today for some headphones that require bt ver 5.0
I see a message about missing realtek firmware rtl8761b-fw (RTL_BT RTL8761B_FW.bin)
Anyone know where I can get this binary file?
I had a bit of a look and it seems there is a working version (AUR) but I'm not sure what to do with it.
Any guidance is appreciated
regards Glenn

zapper im from Oz and it is similar to the US in regards to intelligentsia and the bourgeois. Im no fan of the brand but everynow and then he has half decent vids. More to the point though the video was for the most part concerned with invasive anti privacy software and roll out in the workplaces be it work from home or in the workplace itself and the bosses and assholes who like to implement this shit for muh productivity. Im strictly against being monitored, massive invasion of privacy.
Yes, but I can't help but think that it , the surveillance state starts under the rule of law, and the private sector takes it to the limit and then the gubbamnt taps into their systems under the guise of Public Safety.

My 2c, I can't tell the difference. I can easily edit what runs to stop things I don't require with Openrc. But I have no technical knowledge of the differences.

You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to acknowledge what the governments keep secret, using software and devices to surveil the populace for threats the private sector is using as human management tools to track efficency. Big Brother is already here, slowly, sometimes quickly removing our freedom of choice.

Absolutely! But there's been a shake up lately, no more jazz show sundy morn... but plenty of new shows coming through.

Hi, I'm using linux-image 5.9 kernel and the nvidia proprietary driver is installed as well.

#619 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Obmenu-generator problem » 2020-12-06 03:11:38
Hi, What are the permissions for the location "/home/groucho/.config/obmenu-generator"?
maybe the installer has left the permission to write as root or admin only.
if so, you could try as root to make the location available to write by the user groucho with
chown -hR groucho:groucho /home/groucho/.config/obmenu-generatorand
chmod -R 755 /home/groucho/.config/obmenu-generatorThen try again.
I hope this helps. :-)
#620 Re: Other Issues » Does apt switch to mirrors automatically when performing an upgrade? » 2020-12-02 22:13:46
The only time I have trouble connecting to the/a mirror is when the repos are being updated, just recently like for kernel 5.9 :-), But I check nearly everyday and notice sometimes for a few days at most the repo is unreachable. When this happens I switch to the main one and not the local mirror for a while.

if you use the meta (package) you'll need the version specific (package) too.

I don't know about FreeBSD but for OpenBSD you just need to create a partition of type a6 (in fdisk) or a600 (in gdisk) and the installer recognises it and offers to just use that and leave the other partitions alone.

You will still need "non-free" enabled in your /etc/apt/sources.list for kde/plasma. Just append the string to the end of the uncommented lines... :-)
golinux wrote:As HoaS Asked earlier . . . do you have "non-free" enabled in your sources.list?
I think I asked somewhere else about this too - If I add "non-free" sources, am I effectively adding proprietary blobs? If so I will just remove Cinnamon DE - I'm getting into the KDE groove at present.
