if its a Qt program you can try

QT_QPA_PLATFORM=linuxfb

https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/embedded-linux.html#linuxfb
but a better solution is to use a WM and just set the x server to start on a framebuffer other than the default one, and "tab" over to it when you need it.

i love linux community(minus the troons)

ok wtf so after a couple false starts I got my bluetooth earbuds paired and it literally just works
it switches sound to the earbuds when I put them on, switches back to speakers when I take them off, the pairing just worked flawlessly (once I figured out that tlp auto-killed bluetooth which is why it wasn't working at first, and changed that to not)

whoever says that bluetooth support on linux is shit - well, maybe it is and I got lucky with everything working, but goddamn does everything work, I couldn't expect better from the most polished macbook, or even my phone

stow/guix users do you store your dotfiles in a flat layout (i.e. all dotfiles within ~/dotfiles) or using application specific directories (i.e. dotfiles within subfolders like ~/dotfiles/emacs or ~/dotfiles/bash)?

Broked my gentoo

 
grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot (is /dev mounted?).

I've fixed grub issues before with chroot and the following from the handbook

root # mount --types proc /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
root # mount --rbind /sys /mnt/gentoo/sys
root # mount --rbind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
root # mount --bind /run /mnt/gentoo/run 

But they don't seem to be binding correctly this time around. What else can I do?

Okay so for me, to resize an encrypted LVM after cloning to a bigger ssd the sequence of commands was:

>boot into livecd/installer (safe graphics)
>use lsblk to find the partition the encrypted volume is on

sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/nvme0n1p3 crypt-volume
sudo cryptsetup resize crypt-volume
sudo vgchange -a y
sudo pvresize /dev/mapper/crypt-volume
sudo lvresize -l +100%FREE /dev/kubuntu-vg/root
(optional) sudo e2fsck -f /dev/mapper/kubuntu--vg-root
sudo resize2fs /dev/mapper/kubuntu--vg-root

Now to reboot and see if I didn't just nuke all my data (I kept the original disk so I can just clone it again if I have to)

KDE Neon doesn't do encryption through volume groups. If you want to extend or expand your encrypted file system to use the whole partition of a disk with KDE Neon installed on it, the commands are:

sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/nvme0n1p2 crypt-volume
sudo cryptsetup resize crypt-volume
sudo cryptsetup resize /dev/mapper/crypt-volume
(actually NOT optional) sudo e2fsck -f /dev/mapper/crypt-volume
sudo resize2fs /dev/mapper/crypt-volume

Hopefully this is enough.

Is Mint prone to crashing and dying with Nvidia GPU? Or is it a thing for all Linux systems or it's just me? Should I just fucking ditch Mint and try Arch with GUI if I'm a beginner? I thought I would have less problems on my old laptop with Linux, but alas...

>>102088460
Anything that I want that isn't available normally. Some people use it or chaotic AUR so they don't have to compile things themselves. I try to avoid it If I can and keep things minimal so there's less chance of breaking the system.

>>102088460
If something isn't in the Arch repos I check the AUR because it's most likely there.

>>102088121
Mint is very stable but Nvidia can cause problems to any distro. Some say that PopOS is better when it comes to Nvidia but I don't know. You can try Bazzite if you want something stable that is good for Nvidia. Arch is prone to breaking for many reasons, maybe go with openSuse instead.

does the GPL still apply to someone who deletes their repo off github? or can I steal their code and attribute it to me?

>>102088562
>Some say that PopOS is better when it comes to Nvidia but I don't know.
The only difference is that they have an iso with the drivers on it. There's nothing distributions can do to fix Nvidia's shit.

Literally the same thing, EndeavorOs just has a better installer. If something goes wrong you can use Arch ISO to fix Endeavor because it's the same thing. CachyOS is also nice for gaming, if you want something more stable then openSuse.

>>102088904

I have a few questions about linux
1) wouldnt it be better to have centralised repos for everything so that theres less overlap between developers wasting their time?
2) distros are cool and all but i feel like a fair few just skin existing distros (eg manjaro, artix) when they could just be a post install script almost?
3) whats up with audio effects (like eq) being sort of tricky to implement system wide? i tried out one of them and it seems more like its just compressing audio rather than eqing it like when i use vlc on macos (im just trying to tune the treble of my speakers down a bit)

If you stick with official arch repo then nothing will break.
Your system might break if you use unstable (alpha/beta versions) of 3rd party packages like gnome or kde for example. But you really have to manually enable them in order to do so, so assuming you know what you are doing it is really up to you. But it's really not the fault of arch, is it?
And don't use AUR packages (arch user repository, packages uploaded by users) without knowing how it works and how to manage them.
TL;DR- You will be fine.
Even if you break your system you can always chroot from arch iso to fix it.

How do you hide client side decorations? You're wasting space. If an app only has server side decorations not only does it have maximum compatibility with all of the compositors out there that do server side decorating (READ: All of them except GNOME), you can save even extra space by not having them.

If your goal is to save screen real-estate then having a way to toggle them is useful. With client side decorations you have no choice but to have them wasting space.

When running a program in wine, does it use the Linux or Windows CPU scheduler?

You said the opposite.

You can't hide CSDs which GNOME pushes for all of their apps. You do gain screen real-estate by not having a titlebar for server side decorated apps though (since they don't decorate them you have no decorations) but there's no way to add back the decorations without hacks like libdecor.

I will maybe install Arch on my laptop after installing EndeavourOS on my PC

>>102090673
The compatibility is also worse since they're drawn by the application so they won't match GTK (without hacks like libdecor, or going to excruciating pains like Firefox does to replicate GTK's CSS and even then they still have bugs and get it wrong sometimes).

Because that python garbage fails a lot.

>>102090691
If you need the machine to work you can always fuck around in virtual machines at first as well, that way you can `pause` the install.
There's still loads I don't know about like pulseaudio/alsa/jack/pipewire because i haven't needed to and the defaults worked fine for me but I feel like i have a holistic understanding and know where to look e.g when i wanted to decrypt the root partition at boot with SSH i knew what the big pieces were and where to start.

>>102090691
Just go with EndeavorOS, their forum and community are pretty good for people who are new to Linux and/or rolling distros, there is no elitism. If you have good specs and HDR display then learn a bit about Wayland and install it. Timeshift as some sort of system restore is also nice. If something does break don't panic, smarter people than us find fixes very quickly.

>>102091293
I just don't like how LM is with cinnamon. Lack of customization and what not and I would also like more control. I am the anon who is asking questions about EndeavourOS above.

>>102091344
Oh, I see. Guess I'll stick with the thread to see what's up and maybe do some research after another LM reinstall.
I hope Endeavour is Arch for brainlet, then I would like to hop onto it.

The whole wine is not an emulator thing finally makes sense to me, thank you

>>102091434
EndeavourOS is literally just purely Arch but with an installer. An anon above said that even an arch ISO could fix any issues you have on EndeavourOS as they are the same thing more or less. If you scroll up you can find my first question and just follow the replies there and see what frens have said

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QM-uC5jWf4

Anyone watch this guy? I'm the LM newbie thinking about EndeavourOS but this guy seems annoying

>>102091177
>This is also the reason why they had to add new syscalls for Windows thread synchronisation primitives to the kernel.
How interesting, thanks for the insight anon

>>102091434
Endeavor, CachyOS, Garuda are all arch made easy. OpenSuse as well but there are some differences with Yast, Zypper etc. There's a 10 min YouTube video by some anime chick on youtube how to install Arch and what to do post install so it's easy as well. Pretty much all distros are brainlet ready nowadays or have guides to make them so.

>>102091518
Not a huge fan of that guy, I remember he used Gentoo and OpenSuse for a while and his distro-tier video was pretty amateurish and shit. He has some good videos though.

>>102091440
yea it's pretty sick, on a technical level a program run in wine is much closer to being a completely native program than it is being run with any kind of emulation, it's emulation only in the strict dictionary sense
programs are executed directly on the cpu, they show up as any other linux process, and they have access to the same resources
wine "simply" provides a stand-in for windows libraries along with some glue to fill in the gaps, outside of not being a microsoft product, programs run in wine are no less "native" than they would be running in windows itself, so given a correct and performant reimplementation there's really no reason you can't expect full performance out of them

>>102091467

>>102090691
I personally wouldn't use a distro that is based on another distro and it doesn't solve an actual issue or is different or better than the original one.

It's a Wayland issue, if you switch to X11 session it works properly.

Can I link my "Documents", "Images" etc folders from Mint (drive C) directly to my Documents, Images etc folders from Windows (drive D) in a dual-boot, Mint/Win on SSD, common storage on HDD config?
Drive D is NTFS and what I want to be my main, dual-system storage area.

Example: I want to drag and drop a picture in my Images folder or a text doc to Documnts while I'm on Mint, then switch to Windows, work from those folders with the same documents, and the other way around too. Being able to fully work from both systems without creating new folders (using the default-created ones) and having the exact same files on both. I know some formats or programs may not be able to open but I mainly deal in images, text or video

The GUI symlink thing will create a link inside Mint Documents, so I can't drag-and-drop. I have to click in the folder to access the actual link. Can I "linkify" the Mint Documents folder itself, so I can drag and drop into it then switch over to Win and fin my files there?

I'm the total noob from yesterday. Thanks to the anon who helped me out I can read/write my Windows folders from Linux which is great but the link issue is the only thing keeping me from achieving my dream

>>102092175
It's mostly me using an outdated GPU that somehow (I'm not sure that's the cause because I can't even see logs) fucked up my initramfs (at least I guess so at this point, trying to enter the console to repair all these modules).
Basically, at this point, my laptop shuts down any time I try to install any other distro or do something with it.
Then there was codec issue that after tinkering with pulseeffect and not getting any sound on my headphones, I roll backed to restore point and it stayed the same.
Then again, I may be just brainlet in Linux to understand how to fix these issues, but whatever. If something should break my PC, then at least make this distro fast to install.

>>102092351
Man I installed pulseeffects once right and it completely fucked my entire sound system beyond repair, I asked in the support chat on hexchat and they told me my only option was to do a reinstall of the OS. The "sounds" menu literally just said nothing. No devices or anything, no sound, nothing.

>>102091596
that taskbar style is pretty bad, if it crunches any further youre gonna be blindly guessing which window is which, because all youd see is 40 raccoons. why arent they using a cde type?

>>102092393
Well, it only affected one preset of my BT headset, which was a shame, since it was the only one with goood sound and mic quality.
I'm trying to boot up into console to try and run a few commands to test why I can't just install any distro at all (although I've deleted the previous install and thought that the problem may be in it and ugh new distro MUST BE working, right?)
Anyway, I hope Endeavour will be my saviour and whatever difficulties Arch have, I'll stick with the basics

>>102092393
Uninstall Pulseeffects, it's not maintained anymore so no surprises it's fucked.

Its successor is EasyEffects and works with PipeWire.

>>102092349
I'm not totally clear on your set up, and there's a few different ways you could do it.
If I've understood, you have the directories you want to use as your source of truth already in place on windows.
Then I'd probably use a bind mount to mount those directories where you want them on mint.
See e.g https://www.baeldung.com/linux/bind-mounts
So you could do something like this
> mount --bind /run/media/anon/disk/Users/anon/My\ Documents /home/anon/Documents
where the first folder path is your windows Documents path and the second is your mint Documents path.
Note that if you have files already in your mint Documents folder they won't be visible after you run this command.
Once you have your mounts working, add them to your fstab so they mount at boot

hey guys, im trying to install a game via bottles but this error is not letting me do that, before you ask, yes i do have enough space but its falling to detect it for some reason (could it be the fire-jail that bottles claims to set?)

i heard fitgirls repacks shit themselves in wine so that could be the case here (seriously, why they need to compress this crap? seed the whole thing already), does someone here can install them at all?

>>102092582
>you have the directories you want to use as your source of truth already in place on windows.
Yes, those are the default Win folders that I moved from my SSD over to my HDD.
End goal here is:
Linux Mint /home/user folders = redirect to Windows user file folders
Windows user file folders = place where I'll store stuff to use on both systems depending on my needs

>Once you have your mounts working, add them to your fstab so they mount at boot
I managed to have my HDD be mounted at boot without fstab (just tinkered by disk settings). HDD is where I have the source of truth Windows folders. So will it still be necessary?

Also since I'm going to try this, is there any way I can unbind the mounts if I fuck up?

>>102092848
I care, bought a new display screen and I love HDR, can't ever go back now. Ignorance is bliss I guess. Any DE that doesn't have HDR, VRR, Wayland support is useless to me forever.

>>102092979
Please tell us how it goes, I really want to move to EndeavourOS but idk if its gonna wipe all the shit on my other SSDs. I don't want to have to go through the process of backing up all that shit again like I had to from windows

>>102092931
Bind mounts are a little different to the mount you have already that makes the windows partition available and they will play nicely together.
There are probably other ways to make the bind mounts persistent but the simplest and most usual way will be to add them to /etc/fstab
Say you fuck up a mount
> mount --bind /run/media/anon/disk/Users/anon/My\ Documents /home/anon/Documents
You can undo it like this
> umount /home/anon/Documents
which will restore whatever was previously at that location

This is why people have a liking for manual installs. Although some smart installers let you to drop to shell, set everything up at /target and skip the whole "set up disks" part.

HDR does not work on 99% of applications outside of "modern tvshows" and overpriced incomplete games

>>102093027
Sorry, I barely use Linux for important stuff for now, with these unpleasant crashes, so I just wipe all info I have for a clean setup (because laptops, duh, one drive)

>>102093200
You have ordinary people in on the act too. If you buy a new smartphone chances are it can take HDR video and photos. Wouldn't it be nice if you could actually view that in HDR on your computer?

>>102093034
I'll very tentatively say this works as intended (want to play around with it first before I celebrate). Restarted and the test mount was gone, I assume that's because I didn't add to fstab. In any case, thanks for the help anon

>>102093272

What would be best to make a Windows virtual machine?

>>102094234
nta but for a linux beginner you'll probably be best off using virt-manager
GPU pass through makes a virtual machine perfectly functional as e.g gaming machine but it can be tricky to set up depending on your hardware. If you need windows for non gpu intensive stuff then that's pretty ez

>>102094234
Highly depends on your usecase, you can easily create a VM with virt-manager. It'll work but it won't have any form of proper hardware video acceleration rendering all media playback or vidyagaymes unusable.

If you want the later in a VM you have to setup PCI/GPU Passthrough and that's an oddyssey on its own, it's easier nowadays but almost always there are some issues to solve and you have to know the penguin in order to work things out

I'm using bottles (the gui program) for wine and I don't really understand why the gui doesn't give a flag box that tells you why a program isn't running.

WTC buildings were detonated by explosives that were planted inside beforehand. The first plane to fly into the building probably didn't exist - faked footage. The second plane that flew into the building was likely remote-controlled. Facts: jet fuel doesn't melt steel beams; WTC buildings fell at free-fall speed, and that's not possible unless the tons of concrete and steel were exploded; buildings have burned for longer, larger, and hotter and didn't collapse; the planes would have crumpled upon hitting the skyscrapers; NIST or some other US government agency has reports acknowledging these facts and poses them as open questions (such as the near- or at-free-fall speed fact).

> What is Live Iso?
There's four space before "What". With Chrome engine, there would be no such indentation, or it wouldn't be considered by ctrl+f in Brave.

To answer your question, a "Live Iso" probably refers to a liveboot ISO. I was talking about liveboots to someone AFK/IRL today. They are operating systems which you can use if you have them in a CD or USB which the BIOS can boot from. (Some computers' BIOSs can't boot from an SD card or USB for older ones.) After booting, the OS loads itself into RAM (memory) and any subsequent changes you make to the OS like files added or programs installed or removed will not persist the next time you reboot and load that same liveboot. You can enable persistence on the liveboot with / -> etc -> shadow or whatever (I forgot it's name), but that's no the point. The point is to test out the OS or use it's functionality as an OS-in-RAM.

I think Firefox did have regex support in ctrl+f in the past, but not anymore, such as with Firefox Browser version 125.0.2 (64-bit). chat-gpt.org/chat:
>>Multiline ctrl+f match in Firefox?
>Unfortunately, Firefox does not currently support multiline search using Ctrl+F. However, you can use regular expressions to search for multiline text by pressing Ctrl+F, typing "/"(without quotes) to enter regex mode, and then typing your multiline search query. This will allow you to search for matches that span multiple lines in Firefox.

autogynephilia n. !wt:
>In Ray Blanchard's transsexualism typology, the proposed paraphilic tendency of someone who is anatomically male to be sexually aroused by the thought of being a female, sometimes considered a form of gender identity disorder or transvestic fetishism.
Apparently most psychologists decades ago agreed that trannies were autogynephiliacs: men aroused by the idea of being a woman. Not the case today. Psychology is not a hard science. Basic ideas change with the cultural or political climate. Like how the consensus was that homosexuality was a mental illness; also not the case today.

Probably not, but it depends how it's configured.
- if file systems are mounted using device paths e.g /dev/sda these may not be the same
- similar issue with network cards and configuration
- if your initramfs is built with autodetect then it may not contain modules required to boot the other machine
There could be other things but that's what comes to mind for an install like mine, all of the above would be relatively simple to fix on the second machine (or to even mitigate if you wanted to frequently swap them)

I second kinoite, its pretty comfy and retard proof. You do need to spend some time getting used to flatshit and distrobox/toolbox if you've never used them before, otherwise it'll feel like you're fighting against the system.

Is this bad?

I wasn't paying attention when I did archinstall like 3 years ago and did the default root partition is seperate from my home partition.

I didn't think it would cause any problems when I realized, so I just left it. Now it's a problem, my root drive is pretty much all out of memory because I daily drive the fuck out of this and I'm out of programs to trim, and out of tricks to try and save memory.

Is there a way to merge the two partitions easily? I can fix the fucked up FSTAB afterwards, that's easy I've broken my FSTAB so many times i'm incredible at unfucking it by now. I'm really trying to avoid just biting the bullet and starting over, but copying my home folder somewhere temporary is going to take awhile.

>>102099427
Are you using LVM?
Do you have another disk you can use to temporarily relocate those partitions?

>>102099475
I'm not sure if I'm using LVM because I'm kind of a brainlet. I'm not using RAID so based on my rudimentary research I'm going to say yes.

and yes I do, but it's going to take me fucking forever to cp it over and using dd always breaks it for some reason.

>>102099519
First off worth checking for an ever growing pacman cache (will grow forever by default)
> du -sh /var/cache/pacman/pkg
you can safely empty this folder, it stores packages that have been installed for rollback.

> lsblk
will give an overview of your block devices and show if you're using lvm
Here's what I'd probably do if you aren't using lvm (with lvm it's a bit easier)
assuming your home partition is after the root partition on the disk (lsblk will show this) then rsync the contents of your home to another disk with something like
> rsync -avh /src /dst
delete the home partition
extend the root partition
resize the root filesystem
rsync your home files back into the root partition

By preserving your root partition you won't need to worry about fixing your bootloader. If you aren't super comfortable with disks then you could use something like gparted live iso which has graphical tools for doing delete/extend and maybe also resize steps

>>102099618
What if I'm using LVM?
Also my root drive is on a cryptvlm is that going to fuck me?

guys, whatre your opinion on this?

https://ladybird.org/

>>102099685
If you're using LVM you'll still need to copy the files somewhere else at some point but the beauty of LVM is that you can do that while still using the device (it will be slower while copying of course) and none of your applications will be aware of what's going on underneath.
using LUKS isn't going to prevent you doing this (adds some steps) but you need to be clear if you're using LVM on LUKS or LUKS on LVM, drop your lsblk output here if you're not sure.

Another consideration, if you're home is way bigger than your root then it might be worth going the other way, this adds more steps but if it's going to save you time overall it might be a good bet.

>>102099735
Oh so i don't have to go dig out my usb with arch on it? That's pretty sweet, yeah.

I vaguely remember the LUKS decrypt command but I can just google it. From here I might actually be able to unga-bunga it, thanks anon! I actually kind of forgot about rsync to be honest, just waiting for this fucker to finish.

>>102097819
>>102097919
I didn't break jack shit, you simply don't know if the next update will mess with stuff.

Example:
unity engine game works on stock wine install
>update wine/some system application
unity engine game stops working on stock wine install

>>102099781
this is why shit like lutris/bottles exists, probably. to help you deal with regressions by letting you lock games to certain wine versions easily.

>>102099767
Unfortunately that doesn't look like you're using lvm to me, just that one of crypt device name has lvm in it's name for some reason. If you were using lvm you should see another layer of block devices with type lvm.

>>102097919
there's a lot of alternate web browsers i like but the lack of ublock origin ports are a dealbreaker

>>102099767
>>102099810
just to be extra sure re lvm run
> sudo lvs

>>102099215
Wayland will work fine by then

>>102099810
>>102099827
>sudo lvs
Nothing. Damn.
Welp time to go dig out my USB. Oh well. Either way you've been a huge help, thank you anon.

you could setup a vm with gpu passthrough, though keep in mind this means giving a gpu entirely to a vm, so you typically will want two gpus (includes integrated ones)

Wayland is just a display server protocol. This is like saying X11 is the heavy stuff.

KWin is practically turned turned off when you're playing a full screen game or video and it's doing direct scan out of the image.

>How much of this hdr content is actually useable?
All of it. It either has HDR or it doesn't. It can look a bit crap sometimes if the metadata is bad and there's no option to calibrate the display though but usually that's only an issue in games. I haven't seen a bad HDR video yet.

>>102094955
>Do my chinese cartoons stream in hdr yet?
Officially, probably not. Anime streaming services are a grift. They're not Netflix.

Anime has an active community of colour enthusiasts remastering/regrading shit though. I'm sure I remember seeing a 10-bit HDR copy of Akira floating around. Obviously it wasn't made in HDR but that's irrelevant as long as the mastering is good.

To be honest I'm partly just memeing because I don't really use wine. But honestly part of the appeal of immutable is because Linux updates can be absolutely disgusting and cause shit that's been working perfectly fine to suddenly stop working even in supposedly user friendly distros (perhaps especially in user friendly distros; I ran eOS for almost a year without issues). I honestly wouldn't go back to a normal distro for daily use, I don't enjoy being forced to waste my time fixing shit when it could be used to shitpost on /g/ instead.

>>102101200
>I don't enjoy being forced to waste my time fixing shit when it could be used to shitpost on /g/ instead.
This is why people constantly meme that Linux is broken. When I find something broken I try to dig into why it's broken and report a bug for it. I know normal people don't want to do that though. They're not a QA team.

in bash, which was the keybind to scroll the terminal as if you made a clear, but it actually didn't clear the terminal and you could still scroll up to see the terminal?
You know what I mean? Like, it just hides it and you have to scroll up to see it.
Sorry i'm a retarded ESL. But I know there was a command for this.

I'm cursed by the illusion of choice right now people, help, i want to switch over:
>Find Debian to be the distribution that works the best for my hardware and needs
>GNOME's workflow is tolerable for me, fairly well maintained, looks OK and is for the most part stable, but all apps i want to use like digiKam and Krita have ugly as shit title bars and all their GTK alternatives have gimped functionality (seriously is 2024, who writes a PDF viewer w/o support for tabs/buffers?)
>Plasma comes with fairly functional apps and much more powerful title bars, but looks like shit and feels like a minefield of bugs and hidden gotchas barely documented anywhere (how did Akonadi and Baloo made it out of dev phase at all?)
>XFCE is a balance between both pros and cons, fairly stable and fairly functional enough, with ugly Qt theming but at least usable title bars so it can be worked around easier, but the scaling is terrible on my external monitor, everything looks too tiny or too blurry

Recomend me usable but not ugly Plasma 5 themes that have a Plasma 6 variants, I'm running Kubuntu right now, need something future proof.

If your stuff works out of the box on Debian it should work on any distro.

That does look nice but the close button not being clickable on the top right corner when maximized is really annoying. I have 20+ years of muscle memory closing windows by "throwing" the mouse to the screen corner and clicking, and themes like this (sadly most of them) are a complete miss for me.

Last time I ended up celebrating too early but I have been testing it for two days so now I can hopefully declare with confidence that my Firefox Wayland crashes are gone. Nvidia 560 and Firefox 192.0.2 seems to do the trick. No need to launch through Xwayland anymore.

It's also the compositor, baka

>>102101668
Unfortunately not even Breeze does this consistently nowadays, in some windows it works, in others not. I use Alt+F4 more commonly nowadays but i find the title bars useful to pin windows on top of others, maximize them or "roll them up" so only the title bar is visible.

>>102101838

Can't say I've ever experienced that with the Breeze title bars, always worked for me.

OK, so I got a ps4 controller. While it literally is plug and play. Bluetooth not so much. I spent like 4 hours trying to trouble shot it with chat gpt and videos. The control takes all commands when plugged in. If I connect it via Bluetooth. It doesn't, blueman does recognize it and connects to it. Went to the prompt window and it also is there. Download the driver specifically made for Linux tested. Still nothing. So basically the controller only works if I plug it in via USB. Doesn't work with wireless connection. Even though it is recognizing it. Any suggestions?
>all I want is to play nes and snes emulators :(

Go to /etc/bluetooth/input.conf
Add these lines:
ClassicBondedOnly=false
UserspaceHID=false
Does it help?
What distro you are on? By driver you mean ds4drv right?
Also do other bluetooth devices work? It's possible you have a bluetooth issue in general.

I'm on mint cinnamon, by driver I mean hid-sony. The ds4 stuff freaked me out a bit (since I'm new obviously). It requested to run python script the Linux through a couple of warnings. No, I connected several devices to the pc. Maybe the controller? It's new, but it does recognize it and stays connected. So idk. I'll try the controller on another device. I'll give another try tomorrow. I'm phone fagging at the moment.

>>102102362

By the way with "do other bluetooth devices work" I meant you to test other bluetooth devices on the PC not the controller on other computers.
Some issue with whatever bluetooth chip you have is possible.

>>102102484
Yeah, just for the fuck of it. I transferred 110 mb from my pc to my phone. Took for ever but it worked. Keyboard and mouse are also wireless. Connected and played music with Bluetooth speakers and headphones from the pc. The dun is bt 4.0.

I wish we could just use the Windows cursor format. XCursor is such a dog shit format.
