Re: Terminal Emulator (pre-installed) buggy, sometimes unable to type

Installed in Cinnamon by default gnome-terminal is anything but buggy. When there is no issue please press Cntrl and click s . The typing will be not possible after that. To resume press Cntrl and click q . This will confirm correct functionality of pause and resume . So, when you'll stumble upon t...

Re: Terminal Emulator (pre-installed) buggy, sometimes unable to type

What you describe is very unusual. I think you are the first one to report these problems. What version of gnome-terminal do you have? I have 3.28.1 and no bugs at all on LM 19.3. So everything else on your computer works well, heh? It would be interesting to know if this bug shows up on the live b...

Terminal Emulator (pre-installed) buggy, sometimes unable to type

EDIT: Sometimes it appears to also just not show what I'm typing, but still trying to execute whatever I typed. However, it has also been just not accepting input sometimes. I'm not sure if this just is a mistake on my part somehow or if the preinstalled Terminal Emulator is just buggy. Sometimes wh...

Re: [SOLVED] Dualsense Controller (PS5) not recognized as USB device (Kernel 5.13)

EDIT: It does seem to charge now. I have to mention: While the controller does work (with some odd behaviours on the machine), the controller does not seem to charge. So its recognized as USB device, it shows up in the Energy management... where it says its only 15% Which leads me to assume, that ha...

Re: Updating from old kernels (5.4.y) to newer versions

Well an simple (and in my experience so far, safe) way is Mints built in Kernel manager (Updatemanager>View>Linux Kernel).

You will only get until Kernel 5.13 there as of now, but its an easy option.

And if you go beyond that resolution th...

Re: Dualsense Controller (PS5) not recognized as USB device (Kernel 5.13)

However, I can't switch to it because it doesn't do so automatically (since 5.14 is installed), and entering the grub menu via holding shift does not work. I think you might want to be using the Escape key? If you do not normally see grub menu, do one of these options to bring it up while booting: ...

Re: Dualsense Controller (PS5) not recognized as USB device (Kernel 5.13)

Okay, this might be due to the latest update to Kernel 5.13 Because I'm certain I tested it on Mint with 5.13 on this Laptop before But the update to 5.13(.0-28) seems quite recent, so it wasnt on my Desktop yet. However, I can't switch to it because it doesn't do so automatically (since 5.14 is ins...

Re: Dualsense Controller (PS5) not recognized as USB device (Kernel 5.13)

Oh. Oh no. I installed Mint (Kernel 5.13) again on the laptop that was running Fedora... and the controller is recognized

Which on one hand is very nice

But on the other hand raises all sorts of question about my desktop... Since other USB devices would work on the same ports...??

Re: Dualsense Controller (PS5) not recognized as USB device (Kernel 5.13)

The Dualsense controller works on my Fedora machine (only tested on Kernel 5.14 and beyond, however. Is the Fedora machine just a different drive on the same computer as Linux Mint 20.3 or is it a different computer? If it is different, maybe knowing the differences might give some clues as to what...

Re: Dualsense Controller (PS5) not recognized as USB device (Kernel 5.13)

See if it shows up when you run dmesg -T | grep -i "hid" . I found this [00/13] HID: new driver for PS5 'DualSense' controller which mentions that identifier. It does not, unfortunately. I should mention it seems to not be even receiving power from the PC (since not recognized). (PS3 Cont...

Still not working, not even showing up as USB device (just like before). :(

Thank you though!

[SOLVED] Dualsense Controller (PS5) not recognized as USB device (Kernel 5.13)

I am trying to use the PS5 controller, known as Dualsense on Linux Mint. I have installed and activated Kernel 5.13 since starting version 5.12 the Kernel is said to have the open source drivers for the dualsense controller (made by Sony) built in. I've read that other people have been using it to a...

Re: Incorrect Translation for Driver Management [German]

As of Mint 20.3 (or maybe slightly earlier) this seems to have been fixed.

How do I mark it as solved?

[SOLVED as of Mint 20.3] Incorrect Translation for Driver Management [German]

On Linux Mint 20.2 (Cinnamon 5,0.6), but perhaps in others too. If the driver manager in the German version detects no additional drivers required it displays the checkmark. But the text says "Ihr Rechner benötigt einige zusätzliche Treiber." which translates to "requires some additio...
