Hello I’m a Linux newbie and I need some help. I’m running fedora on my laptop and I want to connect my Logitech mouse. I got solaar installed but I need to manually install the udev rule. I’m following the Instructions here

So I understand that I need to copy rules.d/42-logitech-unify-permissions.rules from the solaar GitHub and place it in /etc/udev/rules.d the thing I don’t know how to do is get there. I’m not super familiar with the terminal

    I had issues with Solaar detecting my devices when plugging the dongle in a USB hub in the past, even when the connected devices worked. Maybe you can try to connect the dongle to another port, in best case directly on the Notebook or PC mainboard, just to make sure that this is not the issue.

    This being said, it works for me on even with a USB hub on a freshly installed Fedora on a new PC.

      Interesting, Im starting to think it might just be the hardware. It was sitting unused for a year or two. I’m gonna see if I can find a windows PC to plug it into just to see if it is indeed the hardware. I already tried it on every port and on my other PC running bazzite but had the same thing happen.
