I have a Surface Go tablet that I switched over to Linux a while back, and just came across a problem that I don’t know how to approach. I use an iDataLink Maestro module in my car to make an aftermarket stereo do what I want it to do. I want to check for a firmware update on it, but the management software tool is windows or mac only.
So I installed WINE and the PlayonLinux front end. I successfully installed the tool (Weblink) but the keyboard doesn’t work so I can’t log into it. The trackpad works though, and this is a directly connected keyboard/trackpad, so for one to work but not the other seems weird. I can find threads about non-functional keyboards with some games, but I honestly don’t understand the guidance being dished out.
How can I troubleshoot and fix this keyboard issue?
I use surface pro 3 with pop os, basically u can install latest ubuntu and install this custom kernel. https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface And staying on Wayland it’s handle much better multi touch fingers especially on gnome which feels like designed for exactly such devices and gestures feels and works much than on windows my fav one 3 finger swipe between virtual desktops
Thanks!
Would this kernel work with Pop?
Sure,just pop is by default running x11 so need enable it in gdm config file
