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

    First time installing solaar last week. Was from package manager on Trisquel(deb based).

    All installed and detected automatically. Probably the same under Fedora.

    Try a purge/uninstall of solaar, and then put the dongle in before you reinstall.

    (Random aside. If your PC auto-resumes after suspend, it may have picked up a logitech keyboard from another room. Unpair it from your dongle)

      Tried those things, no luck. And no other Logitech things around to connect too. I’m starting to think it might just be a hardware issue. It’s a mouse and keyboard I haven’t used for a while.

        I’d try:

        • running solaar from the terminals so you get the output log
        • checking what you have in /etc/udev/rules.d
