Seems like a lot of yall are spending time in desktop mode on your Decks ... Do you hook up a Blueto

Seems like a lot of yall are spending time in desktop mode on your Decks ... Do you hook up a Bluetooth keyboard? I can't see how to use desktop mode on mine without endless frustration.

termdisc•12/28/23, 4:32 PM

I either use remote desktop software like AnyDesk to type on my desktop keyboard or I use KDE Connect on my phone

termdisc•12/28/23, 4:32 PM

it depends on where I am and why I need to type

matt_schwartz•12/28/23, 4:32 PM

I got a 65% size keyboard that can do Bluetooth and also usb input for using it without BT drivers

matt_schwartz•12/28/23, 4:32 PM

about the same size as my deck

I have a Keychron keyboard with bluetooth but currently broken due to bluetooth on Linux D; and then a bluetooth mouse that I use in the adapter mode instead

Zelaf•12/28/23, 4:34 PM

Plan is when bluetooth is fixed to only use bluetooth

Zelaf•12/28/23, 4:35 PM

But I use my Deck as my primary computer which is why I spend so much time in desktop. Whenever I want to play a game with friends I launch into gamemode and run Discord through Steam

Zelaf•12/28/23, 4:35 PM

I get terrible performance on the Deck and a lot of game crashes when I'm not in game mode

abronOP•12/28/23, 4:36 PM

Nice, thanks everyone. Looks like it's time for me to buy some input hardware.

Zelaf•12/28/23, 4:36 PM

Still getting the errors but works after rebooting. Strange

abronOP•12/28/23, 4:37 PM

oh, and KDE Connect is an interesting idea. I'll have to play with it.

abronOP•12/28/23, 4:38 PM

do you dock it to a bigger screen?

Zelaf•12/28/23, 4:39 PM

I have a portable monitor that I plug it into. If I need something even bigger I plug it into my TV

Zelaf•12/28/23, 4:39 PM

And I use a 3D printed stand ontop of a USB Hub with a HDMI out

Zelaf•12/28/23, 4:40 PM

Gonna see if I can get my hands on something with a USB-C DP Alt. out tho

Darahaas•12/28/23, 4:40 PM

IDK why but dolphin keeps on crashing

Zelaf•12/28/23, 4:41 PM

For the longest while when I was out and about and did my school work and IT projects I only had the Deck screen. It was horrible to work on as a sole display

Zelaf•12/28/23, 4:41 PM

But using it as a secondary monitor is great

matt_schwartz•12/28/23, 4:42 PM

I tried using my deck screen for one rpmbuild and that was about as far as I ever got trying to do dev work on there lol

Zelaf•12/28/23, 4:43 PM

I basically built my entire ALSA UCM conf package through the Deck screen D;

Zelaf•12/28/23, 4:43 PM

Constantly had to zoom in on web pages and things were just too uncomfortable. Since I don't have a desk anywhere I'm setting either I had to lean in all the time too

matt_schwartz•12/28/23, 4:44 PM

I was testing MangoHud builds so I figured it would end up being easier to do it all from the Deck

matt_schwartz•12/28/23, 4:44 PM

Then my laptop built it in like 30 seconds compared to the 5 minutes it was taking on the Deck lol

Zelaf•12/28/23, 4:45 PM

Oh yeah I just used copr to build mine

Zelaf•12/28/23, 4:46 PM

So I didn't do the actual building but did have to read log after log on copr

matt_schwartz•12/28/23, 4:46 PM

I must say, rpmbuild was incredibly intuitive and the documentation was excellent

Zelaf•12/28/23, 4:46 PM

At least zooming in on text logs in firefox is easy enough

matt_schwartz•12/28/23, 4:46 PM

I learned how to do it in like 30 minutes with next to zero coding knowledge

Zelaf•12/28/23, 4:47 PM

I found it difficult to understand the spec files

matt_schwartz•12/28/23, 4:47 PM

I had ChatGPT break those down for me

Zelaf•12/28/23, 4:47 PM

Lmao smart

Zelaf•12/28/23, 4:47 PM

I used trial and error. Took me about 30 or so builds until it finally succeeded

Zelaf•12/28/23, 5:22 PM

@rodoma92 I can't reproduce your latest post on the bluez issue

Zelaf•12/28/23, 5:25 PM

Fedora 39 has gotten bluez-5.71-1 now tho

ZZelaf @rodoma92 I can't reproduce your latest post on the bluez issue

RodoMa92•12/28/23, 5:32 PM

Does it work for pairing now?

RodoMa92•12/28/23, 5:33 PM

After I managed to pair I didn't want to test it again and risk breaking stuff again.

Zelaf•12/28/23, 5:33 PM

I haven't tested very thoroughly but doesn't seem like it

RodoMa92•12/28/23, 5:33 PM

Now my keyboard seems to work

RodoMa92•12/28/23, 5:33 PM

Paired from bluetoothctl interface tho

RodoMa92•12/28/23, 5:33 PM

with connect <mac>

RodoMa92•12/28/23, 5:34 PM

and then pair <mac>

Zelaf•12/28/23, 5:34 PM

So first connect and then pair?

RodoMa92•12/28/23, 5:34 PM

Yep

Zelaf•12/28/23, 5:34 PM

Still no input however but successfully auto reconnects?

RodoMa92•12/28/23, 5:34 PM

No, input now works

RodoMa92•12/28/23, 5:34 PM

And it paired successfully.

RodoMa92•12/28/23, 5:34 PM

Not the first time tho.

RodoMa92•12/28/23, 5:35 PM

(First time the HID driver was erroring out on binding)

RodoMa92•12/28/23, 5:35 PM

After a sleep cycle now it works always it seems.

ZZelaf Fedora 39 has gotten bluez-5.71-1 now tho

Kyle Gospo•12/28/23, 5:35 PM

just built 5.71 w/ valve's patches for bazzite

Seems like a lot of yall are spending time in desktop mode on your Decks ... Do you hook up a Blueto
