| - | ===== Solaar (Logitech Unifying Receiver) ===== | + | ===== Mouse and keyboard ===== |
| - | Solaar is a Linux devices manager for the Logitech Unifying Receiver, see the [[http://pwr.github.io/Solaar/index.html|Solaar website]]. | + | It was difficult to decide wheteher the mouse and keyboard utilities should fit in the "desktop utilities" or "tricks" category. Who cares after all as, even if they finally made it into the "tricks" section, you can [[[[tricks:mxmouse|read all about them here]]. |

| - | Normaly the logitech-djreceiver driver should already be enabled and loaded, you can check on that by typing viewing dmesg right after pluging in the unifying receiver, it should output something like: | + | |

| - | Also, the udev package must be installed and the daemon running, which is probably the case since it's the /dev/ and hotplug management daemon... You'd already have noticed if it wasn't there ;-) | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Create a file solaar.list in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, with the following contents: | + | |
| - | <code> | + | |
| - | sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/solaar.list | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | deb http://pwr.github.io/Solaar/packages/ ./ | + | |
| - | deb-src http://pwr.github.io/Solaar/packages/ ./ | + | |
| - | </code> | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Then update your packages descriptions and install: | + | |
| - | <code> | + | |
| - | sudo apt-get update | + | |
| - | sudo apt-get install solaar | + | |
| - | </code> | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Solaar is now accessible through the "Applications > Accessories" menu.\\ | + | |
| - | One noticable thing is that, at first, I blindly enabled the "Smooith Scrolling" option that Solaar presented for my Performance MX Mouse. Just to discover that it made the //locked wheel// scrolling jump one page at a time and not allow any subtle scrolling movement anymore. Only the //free wheel// would allow me to, more or less, control the scrolling behavior. Unchecking that option brought me back to what I initialy expected from the scroll wheel. | + | |
