So recently, I decided to head back to Ubuntu MATE from Ubuntu, and so far pretty good. I upgraded from 20.10 because it reached it's end of life.. but after I did that I experienced some problems.

For example, Bluetooth doesn't work (it works with Raspberry Pi OS, RetroPie, and Windows 11), but Ubuntu-based distributions fail. (It seemed to work in 20.10 however...) Whenever I try to enable it with Bluetooth Manager, it shows up for a split second then then vanishes from the task bar.

Another problem I'm having is I can't run ubuntu-mate-welcome or Software Boutique. Whenever I tried running it through the terminal, I receive this:

root@aC-ubmPi400:~# ubuntu-mate-welcome --boutique
/ not root-owned 1000:1000

Linux aC-ubmPi400 5.11.0-1016-raspi #17-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Thu Jul 29 15:33:06 UTC 2021 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

I'm on a Raspberry Pi 400 with Ubuntu MATE 21.04 running on a 2TB HDD

That's the terminal input, the same results happen if I run the launcher from the desktop.

  • The failed launch attempt was `/ not root-owned 1000:1000` – Achak Claw Aug 25 '21 at 21:20
  • Edited my question, done – Achak Claw Aug 25 '21 at 21:25
  • Well, the obvious questions would seem to be: Why is that application not owned by root? Did you change it's ownership? What happens if you change it's ownership back to what it should be? – user535733 Aug 25 '21 at 21:41
  • FYI, the upgrade path is no longer supported once a version goes EOL. It's expected that you upgrade before the EOL date. Upgrading every 6 months for standard releases is not for everyone and it might be better to use a LTS release since you have three years to upgrade after the next LTS instead of only 3 months to upgrade upon release of a new standard release. See: [How to install software or upgrade from an old unsupported release?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/91815/how-to-install-software-or-upgrade-from-an-old-unsupported-release) – Nmath Aug 25 '21 at 22:22
