Newbie here. First of all, I successfully took ownership of a folder using the command line and I am proud of that. Even though it ended up being irrelevant for the problem in the end, it was still satisfying to be able to figure it out finally. Using the command line makes me feel like I’m doing cool stuff B)
So, I was doing some digging, trying to get my mouse to work properly, and I ended up finding out some things. Hopefully this saves somebody some time/frustration in the future.
-Logitech’s software doesn’t work in Linux (of course)
-Piper doesn’t work for this model (g502x PLUS) yet.
Bummer.
There is a workaround, however. This model actually includes on-board memory! Sweet, my money was not wasted after all!
So, I just went back to windows (gross) and set up the profile I had been using previously. (sidenote, who TF uses forward and back for the side buttons? It obviously should be ctrl and shift for the defaults, respectively…) When I got back on my new setup, it was a success!!! It works perfectly well, and no issues so far.
Now, for the main question, is there any easy way to set this up from Linux by using a windows virtual machine or something similar?
Thanks for reading.
if it worked that way then it should work the same from a win vm, you may have to fiddle with passing through the usb device or hub but that’s usually auto for mouse and keyboard. i’d recommend virtmanager to run vms, btw.
Thanks for the recommendation.
