8bitdo and flydigi controllers support in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

You're welcome! Sometimes I wake it up with my wireless keyboard, other times I wake it up with the Thunderobot controller. I haven't gotten Bluetooth activity to wake it up, but then again I haven't tried hard.

I had to tweak the configuration so that it would wake up via activity from a USB device. But that's just part of getting used to managing your system's configuration, right? :)

antix is a great little distro. I've run it on similarly low-power machines, like a former Chromebook I repaired. And I quite enjoy its quirky interface, sort of a blend between old fashioned chunky UI and modern streamlined UX.

8bitdo and flydigi controllers support in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (3 children)

I run Bazzite and I have a few 8bitdo controllers. I've only ever used them via bluetooth, but once they are paired they work perfectly.

I do have a Thunderobot G45 I use via dongle. It plugs in and works, no configuration or software needed. And after I set up my system settings properly, I can also use it to wake the system from sleep. But that was a Linux thing, had nothing to do with the controller.

Any of the major distros will probably work with any big-name game controller.

Or perhaps we can rehabilitate them with a guillotine.

With a little research, it's possible to figure it out on your own.

The context totally changes the question.

"Which do you like more, blue or green?" is very different from "Which do you feel you are, a blue-liker or a green-liker?"

The first question directly asks a specific thing.

The second is asking what category a person feels they belong to. And assigning a category implies many things in addition to liking the color.

Help making system wake up to keyboard (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hello! New to Bazzite, and have a system running great. There's just one thing I'm having trouble with: I want the system to wake up from a sleep state when it detects signal from a keyboard/mouse.

I tried following this guide: https://askubuntu.com/questions/848698/wake-up-from-suspend-using-usb-device

It seems straightforward enough, and even though that's Ubuntu, I saw buses were set to "disabled." So I tried writing the rc.local, but it still won't wake up, even though the devices have power.

Am I missing something? Or can anyone point me to a better reference? Thanks in advance.

Tried out my new soldering iron tonight. (sh.itjust.works)
 

Worked on a friend's AC power adapter, the cord had gotten cut. Just a simple two-wire cord, nothing too complicated.

Didn't do a perfect job with the heat shrink tubing, but still made good connections and it'll be safe to use.

Wish I had upgraded my soldering iron sooner. The old one didn't heat nearly as evenly as this one.

As an added bonus, it literally looks like shit, too!

As I sat there, at my desk in my office, the sun slowly sank from high in the heavens; soon, nightfall would bathe the landscape in blue-black darkness, smothering the world outside my window. (sh.itjust.works)
 

I sat there for a long while before the crying began, resonating up from beneath the creaky floorboards - and I smiled, a toothy grin slowly spreading across my face... because I knew my work was only just beginning.

Work-in-progress DSi "GB Macro" (sh.itjust.works)
 

Had nearly all the parts lying around, so I put this thing together.

I wanted to add stereo speakers, but it's hard to find good wiring diagrams for such a niche thing. So, mono for now.

The motherboard has a bad cartridge slot. So I designed and printed a custom speaker holder that fits into the cartridge slot. All pressure fitted, no glue.

Everything works so far. Just waiting for a new shoulder button/SD slot cable, so I can finish it up and load up some GBA games. :)

LXLE still good for older devices? (sh.itjust.works)
 

A few years ago, LXLE was my distro of choice for older hardware.

I haven't used it in a while, and now I'm trying to revive an HP Stream (AMD/4GB RAM/32GB SSD).

Anything else I might want to try first, or is LXLE still considered good for lightweight/feature rich?

And that it's genetic, so that it's passed down to all his descendants; and that all people who marry into the family also have it happen to them
