Safiyyah | good afternoon all, is anyone around? | 14:25 |

MattJ | Good afternoon | 14:25 |
zxm-pi | o/ | 14:26 |
Safiyyah | MattJ I bought a mechanical keyboard to plug into my laptop and it is not being picked up | 14:27 |
Safiyyah | we tried it on the family computer in windows. It is a wired keyboard | 14:27 |
Safiyyah | it plugs in okay on the windows desktop, no issues but i bought it to use on my linux laptop. It is a wired keyboard | 14:31 |
Safiyyah | I expected it to just be plug and play | 14:32 |
MattJ | USB? | 14:32 |
Safiyyah | yes | 14:32 |
Safiyyah | old acer laptop | 14:33 |
MattJ | Does it appear in `lsusb` when you plug it in? Does anything appear in dmesg about it? | 14:33 |
Safiyyah | it comes up in both | 14:34 |
Safiyyah | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/62h83rR24s/ | 14:35 |
daftykins | Safiyyah: long time no see \o have you and the family been well? | 14:44 |
daftykins | i bet it isn't getting enough power, grab a USB 'Y' cable | 14:44 |
Safiyyah | daftykins, we are isolating at the moment, but everyone is fine apart from the husband. | 14:45 |
Safiyyah | locked him up in a room | 14:46 |
Safiyyah | daftykins, I hope you are all well over there | 14:46 |
daftykins | ooh, covid related or not? | 14:46 |
daftykins | yeah benefits of a small island :D | 14:46 |
Safiyyah | I don't own a USB Y cable | 14:46 |
Safiyyah | daftykins, yeah he got covid from work | 14:46 |
daftykins | in fact i think a USB hub would be a better way to go for a laptop, try an Amazon basics one | 14:47 |
Safiyyah | okay I will get one | 14:47 |
daftykins | ideally one which is powered, so it comes with an AC adapter | 14:48 |
Safiyyah | I know my laptop is old but still... I didn't think it was this bad | 14:48 |
Safiyyah | daftykins will do | 14:49 |
daftykins | some mechanical keyboards just need a bit more juice, the other thing you could try is to take a spare toothbrush and clean the USB ports in case the power pins are dirty | 14:49 |
Safiyyah | I am borderline OCD, they are clean | 14:50 |
Safiyyah | the lack of power makes sense, this thing is crashing when I am editing images | 14:52 |
daftykins | the whole laptop? | 14:52 |
m0nkey_ | Can you believe they're bringing back Zool?! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1647730/Zool_Redimensioned/ | 15:06 |
daftykins | :O | 15:06 |
daftykins | i have that on disc here | 15:07 |
zxm-pi | wow, that's so old i even remember it :-P | 15:08 |
m0nkey_ | Here's hoping for some Chupps action lol | 15:09 |
Safiyyah | daftykins, yeah the whole thing freezes | 15:40 |
Safiyyah | I have to keep doing hard reboots | 15:40 |
daftykins | D: | 15:40 |
