I was hoping to avoid that, but that’s gonna be my next move.
Unless I forget and break windows again. Words can’t describe how tired I am of choosing the 37 different options during the install, updating the OS 4 times and installing my apps and deleting bloat. 😂 Windows 11 is great and all, but Microsoft loves to make it unbearable to use.
Yes that’s present and working.
Issue is that my BIOS doesn’t find it either. So something happens when I install a linux distro that breaks the Windows boot loader.
When I reinstall Windows, I can update the grub and it shows up. (It’s also back in the BIOS after reinstalling)
I’m almost scared of my computer now. This is the weirdest thing I have seen so far on Linux.
I’m guessing something crashed or whatever. Settings are just like they were with no changes.
Maybe I should just get a wired keyboard 😂
Yeah, all my settings are the same as when it didn’t work.
Does linux do any driver check or something when booting?
It just works again after the computer being shut off for a few hours. I did quite a few restarts earlier today that didn’t help so something isn’t right. I’m thinking there’s something broken with the HID config myself.
If I was on Windows I’d reinstall the driver, check chipset driver etc. maybe check if there’s something wrong with Logitech’s software. I’ll do some digging now that I have a keyboard again to see how if I find anything.
Desktop.
I can’t get the on screen keyboard to show ip anywhere. Tried to both enable and disable is but no difference to my physical keyboard.
Logi MX Keys S.
I had an update available today(after this issue). Ran it but it didn’t fix the issue sadly.
With a device known as a smartphone.
Tried turning stuff on, then off, then reset to default. Nothing.
Nothing, except function keys for volume etc. and the calculator keys work when I’m logged in. I can log out and write my password normally.
I can get to a console from the login screen, which tells me to login. But I get incorrect credentials even though they are correct.
Already checked the i put and that looks to be right. No slow keys enabled in settings and no response holding down keys for up to 15 seconds.
My keyboard can both use a dongle and BT. But I can’t find it on BT. Other keyboard is the same model, which isn’t ideal but it was worth testing out.
Also, mouse still works. And I’m logged into here on my browser so I can copy commands and stuff.
This community has been mind-blowingly helpful every single step of the way so far. At this point I cannot see myself going back to windows. Other than the few things I use that won’t work obviously.
Oh, I misunderstood completely what Wine Manager actually is it seems like. Though that was just a configure tool for Wine.
I’ll have a look. I like Heroic’s interface WAY more than Lutris
Edit: Would you look at that, if I only actually looked in that menu I would have tried it already. Giving it a go now
Played a few missions after installing Linux. Works fine with Proton Hotfix enabled in Steam. Honestly feels like it has less stutters too.
I’ll look into this too. I’ve had this issue with TibSun for years but the unofficial patch from cncnet usually fixed it.
A lot of the stuff I come across in Linux makes more sense than in Windows honestly. It’s just completely different and that makes it hard when you’re used to messing with .exe files, .dll files and regedits.
This worked for TibSun. Thanks!
Got the cncnet patch installed. Now to check if the patch actually fix the black menu issue.
Edit: Didn’t fix the issue for that game. But I now know how to uninstall patches using .exe files!
I used to prefer cncnet back in the day. I noticed they have Linux builds for a lot of Westwood games so if I fail to make the EA App version work I’ll just get that or openRA.
Absolutely incredible info. Saving this for later!
I absolutely despise installing Windows. Takes forever.
Linux distros take like 10 minutes. I love it!
You guys might have talked me into Nobora actually.
I’ve not been someone who’s favored stability over new tech and performance on Windows, so why should I on Linux?
Also, like others have said, changing the Distro if I hate it isn’t exactly the end of the world anyways.
This solution took all about 2 minutes. Now it won’t matter what I do when I reinstall Linux. My Windows boot is not on that same drive any more.
If I would have known my Windows boot was on the M.2 drive I install Linux on, I would not tell the Linux installer to format that drive, obviously.
It’s an Issue I created myself by not thinking about Windows’ limitations. But this solution is pretty quick if you already reinstalled Windows again.
