I was hoping to avoid that, but that’s gonna be my next move.

Unless I forget and break windows again. Words can’t describe how tired I am of choosing the 37 different options during the install, updating the OS 4 times and installing my apps and deleting bloat. 😂 Windows 11 is great and all, but Microsoft loves to make it unbearable to use.

Yes that’s present and working.

Issue is that my BIOS doesn’t find it either. So something happens when I install a linux distro that breaks the Windows boot loader.

When I reinstall Windows, I can update the grub and it shows up. (It’s also back in the BIOS after reinstalling)

Yeah, I have to do that after reinstalling Windows again. Just did and that solves the issue of getting it into Grub so that I wont have tot go through the BIOS.

But when I install Linux, the Windows boot disappears from the BIOS too. Even tried to find it trough the «Repair» options when booting from a Windows USB, but it’s just gone.

Is it possible that Windows and Linux shares UEFI partitions even if they’re on different drives?

It shouldn’t, but that’s about the only thing I can think of that does this. I already know how to find windows in grub again, but it’s also gone from the BIOS boot options and it happens very specifically after installing Linux on the other disk.

Already installed Windows again so I can’t do that. But I could disconnect the Windows drive when I install Linux.

Maybe asking this on a Windows sub would be easier? I suspect this is a Windows issue and not a Linux one but I’m honestly not sure.

I am. Windows is on a 2.5" Sata SSD while Linux is on an Nvme M.2 drive

I’m almost scared of my computer now. This is the weirdest thing I have seen so far on Linux.

I’m guessing something crashed or whatever. Settings are just like they were with no changes.

Maybe I should just get a wired keyboard 😂

Yeah, all my settings are the same as when it didn’t work.

Does linux do any driver check or something when booting?

It just works again after the computer being shut off for a few hours. I did quite a few restarts earlier today that didn’t help so something isn’t right. I’m thinking there’s something broken with the HID config myself.

If I was on Windows I’d reinstall the driver, check chipset driver etc. maybe check if there’s something wrong with Logitech’s software. I’ll do some digging now that I have a keyboard again to see how if I find anything.

I’ll give these steps a go later today! Thanks!

Desktop.

I can’t get the on screen keyboard to show ip anywhere. Tried to both enable and disable is but no difference to my physical keyboard.

Logi MX Keys S.

I had an update available today(after this issue). Ran it but it didn’t fix the issue sadly.

With a device known as a smartphone.

Tried turning stuff on, then off, then reset to default. Nothing.

Nothing, except function keys for volume etc. and the calculator keys work when I’m logged in. I can log out and write my password normally.

I can get to a console from the login screen, which tells me to login. But I get incorrect credentials even though they are correct.

Already checked the i put and that looks to be right. No slow keys enabled in settings and no response holding down keys for up to 15 seconds.

My keyboard can both use a dongle and BT. But I can’t find it on BT. Other keyboard is the same model, which isn’t ideal but it was worth testing out.

Also, mouse still works. And I’m logged into here on my browser so I can copy commands and stuff.

Wait wait wait.

This guy is gonna try to do the same fucking thing again?

Hahahahahhahaha.

This community has been mind-blowingly helpful every single step of the way so far. At this point I cannot see myself going back to windows. Other than the few things I use that won’t work obviously.

Does this work for games that I have in the EA App and Ubisoft-thingy too?

Oh, I misunderstood completely what Wine Manager actually is it seems like. Though that was just a configure tool for Wine.

I’ll have a look. I like Heroic’s interface WAY more than Lutris

Edit: Would you look at that, if I only actually looked in that menu I would have tried it already. Giving it a go now

Played a few missions after installing Linux. Works fine with Proton Hotfix enabled in Steam. Honestly feels like it has less stutters too.

I’ll look into this too. I’ve had this issue with TibSun for years but the unofficial patch from cncnet usually fixed it.

A lot of the stuff I come across in Linux makes more sense than in Windows honestly. It’s just completely different and that makes it hard when you’re used to messing with .exe files, .dll files and regedits.
