#225568 — Debian 10.4

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Good Day, I'm looking for another Linux, and decided to try yours.  The 
issue I have with most Linux's
is that the latest version will not let me use my Logitech MX5500 
kybd/mouse.  They are wireless off a
USB port.  Now, when I 1st downloaded your ISO and put it on a Flash 
Drive all was going great.  Booted
up low and behold my Logitech worked that is until I 
installed/restarted.  No more Logitech.  Not sure
to understand why, but Fedora & older versions of different Linux kybd 
works fine.  Is there something
I'm missing here?

PS        Not totally blind to linux, because I was in the Computer 
field for decades.  Now that I'm up there - ha ha -
             not sure what to do.  Not brain dead just getting slow.

This reply is from an antique whose introduction to computers predated 
Dartmouth BASIC.

Your problem description made me think of "non free" drivers.
*HOWEVER* a DuckDuckGo search came up with many 10 year old reports.
But searches including Debian Stretch or Buster were empty.

After decades of 'Customer Support' [admittedly in different field],
I suspect more detailed information on your platform and an
*MINUTELY exact* specification of your system *AND* keyboard/mouse will 
be required.

HTH
YMMV

If the problem occurs in multiple distributions, I would suspect a
kernel, udev, or driver issue. First question, what exactly is the USB
id?  Please plug it in to a Linux computer, and copy and paste the
results of:

lsusb | grep 046d

which you will have to run as root.

Please reply to the list so that others can see and possibly benefit
from the exchange.

Try booting to an old Linux. If you don't have one handy, finnix
(command line only) does an excellent job for this sort of thing.
Knoppix (GUI) should also.

It looks as though you have two choices. Either:

. Boot with the installation flash drive, where the kbd/mouse work,
  and use it as your rescue system to effect the repair as outlined
  in the reference above.

Or:

. Boot with the installation flash drive and repeat the installation.
  Before it terminates, effect the repair as outlined above, but with
  one important change:
  Repair the file /target/lib/udev/rules.d/97-bluetooth-hid2hci.rules
  rather than the file /lib/udev/rules.d/97-bluetooth-hid2hci.rules
  because /target is where your new installation is being built.

  "Before it terminates"—when is a good time? With expert non-graphical
  installation, there are several opportunities:
    - Install the GRUB boot loader on a hard disk
    - Finish the installation (clock setting)
    - Finish the installation (remove installation media)
  There may be fewer occasions when using non-expert/other methods.

  At the chosen opportune time, type Alt-F2 and press Return to get a shell.
  Effect the repair.
  Type Alt-F1 (or Alt-←) to return to the installation screen.

Cheers,
David.

Note that edits to /lib/udev/rules.d/97-bluetooth-hid2hci.rules will be
overwritten on the next upgrade to whatever package generates that
file.

The solution to that problem is to copy the file
97-bluetooth-hid2hci.rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/ and edit it there.
