Interesting, Im starting to think it might just be the hardware. It was sitting unused for a year or two. I’m gonna see if I can find a windows PC to plug it into just to see if it is indeed the hardware. I already tried it on every port and on my other PC running bazzite but had the same thing happen.
I did, a bunch of times, even replaced the batteries!
It is a logitech m570
I tried every USB port, they all detect when the dongle is plugged in but solaar just displays a blank window. I even tried it on my other Linux PC and it had the exact same thing happen . I also had a second dongle so I plugged it in to time rule that the dongle was broken.
I honestly don’t know much about terminal, how could I go about doing that? I’m pretty sure this is exactly my problem. I had stumbled on this Reddit thread when looking for a solution. But someone here pointed out that the link lsd_ninja provided was for MAC so I thought I must’ve been on the wrong track. I know I have to copy the file from the GitHub. I just don’t know how to get to the location where it goes.
Yes I did, even tried a different PC which is why I think It might be the hardware. I might see if my buddy from work can plug it into his windows PC to see if it works. That way I can definitely know if it’s a hardware issue.
Not even the unifying receiver seems to show up in solaar. When I plug it in I get a notification saying Logitech unifying receiver has been plugged in on my task bar. But then I open solaar and it’s just a blank window. I also tried it on my other PC that’s running bazzite and it’s the exact same thing. I also had 2 unifying receivers and I tried them both just to rule out a broken dongle.
Yea I just can’t believe a completely missed where it said Mac lol. It’s pretty obvious in hindsight
Tried that, no luck. I’m starting to think it might just be a hardware issue. It’s a mouse and keyboard I haven’t used for a while.
Tried those things, no luck. And no other Logitech things around to connect too. I’m starting to think it might just be a hardware issue. It’s a mouse and keyboard I haven’t used for a while.
😅 thanks for pointing that out, I’m quite the dumbass lol
I did install it through the package manager. For some reason though my Logitech mouse doesn’t come up on solaar. When I was looking for a reason I found something about the udev and thought that’s what I had to do, I didn’t realize I was reading mac stuff 😅
That was the first thing I tried, didn’t work unfortunately. Even pulled out the batteries and replaced them.
