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

    Is it just the mouse and keyboard that aren’t showing in solaar, or the unifying receiver itself?

    For context, this is what a unifying receiver with a mouse and keyboard paired to it ought to look like in solaar:

      Not even the unifying receiver seems to show up in solaar. When I plug it in I get a notification saying Logitech unifying receiver has been plugged in on my task bar. But then I open solaar and it’s just a blank window. I also tried it on my other PC that’s running bazzite and it’s the exact same thing. I also had 2 unifying receivers and I tried them both just to rule out a broken dongle.

          I tried every USB port, they all detect when the dongle is plugged in but solaar just displays a blank window. I even tried it on my other Linux PC and it had the exact same thing happen . I also had a second dongle so I plugged it in to time rule that the dongle was broken.

          Yes I did, even tried a different PC which is why I think It might be the hardware. I might see if my buddy from work can plug it into his windows PC to see if it works. That way I can definitely know if it’s a hardware issue.
