Re: Linux Mint 19.2

The latest update ('new' package-manager) seems to disable Bluetooth.
That also happened to me when I updated from 19.1 to 19.2 WITHOUT a
complete reinstall.

There are two workarounds:

EITHER:
back-up the whole system every night, and restore it if Bluetooth disappears
again (=no icon in the panel after an update) - skipping updates.

OR:

use another system such as SparkyLinux, e.g. on a bootable sdcard
for Bluetooth-transfers and stick with Mint 19.2 for anything else. I use this
'veteran'  Linux because it features OpenShot 1.4 - my (favourite) moviemaker.

My Toshiba laptop has 128 GB of RAM-HD, so copying/restoring  to/from an
image-file doesn't take all that long.
