    You could write a simple python script using datetime and pyperclip. Datetime would supply the date format and pyperclip to copy that to your clipboard. You could setup a key binding to call the script then [Ctrl + v] to paste.

    I believe all linix distros have python installed OTB.

    There are probably a bash solution but my bash is rubbish.

    You might want to file a bug report so they can grab some info from you that could help an updater get pushed sooner and help others.

    Very glad you got up and running. Hopefully they will get a better update pushed out soon.

    Hay if the restore works might hold off on doing an update for a few days just too see if kubuntu had pushed a bad update. If they did they did they should fix it pretty quickly when they get a bunch of people with broken systems.

    Have yiu tried making sure network manager is enabled and started?

    sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager

    sudo systemctl start NetworkManager

    From a live USB do you have networking?



  • I want linux to be as welcoming as possible to everyone and the newbie qiestion of what distro to use will come up a lot. I dont think it’s helpful in any way to bicker about why my choice in linux is better. We should be giving them the tools to make the best decision for themselves

    What if we built a beginners linux community (Linux, Where Do I Start -> LWDIS) and point to all the distros communities, and on those distro specific communities they had beginner friendly install, setup, rice, maintenance instructions and advice along with a difficulty rating. I don’t know if stickies are a thing here but could be helpful in keeping relevant info on top. This could be a place for fanboys to shine on there favorite distro while keeping the basic inclusive LWDIS community free of bickering about distros that might cause confusion and turn people off.



  • Not a mistake but a fun reminder that the terminal can be a very fun place!

  • So you went to the game, clicked on the gamepad icon on the bottom right of the game banner and selected enable steam input? Then selected a controller layout? I think its a little strange steam makes you do this per game as well as its general desktop setting.

    Also did you try from a live usb environment? That was good advice as it could be something you/mimt installed after setup. Also you did do a checksum of your ISO before you burnt your install medium?

    And there is no strange errors when starting steam from a terminal and running your game?

    And you tried the steam beta?

    If you have done all that might consider filing a bug report on steam.

    Sometimes its worth waiting a few days for an update, might sort itself out.





  • Im an arch user, a few days ago the same happened after an update of sdl3 and sdl2_compat. I switched to steam beta and things worked.

    Might try completely removing the controller from bluetooth, rebooting and repairing.

    Might make sure your using the same kernel that the other people are using. Been a very long time since i used mint and dont know how easy it is to change kernels but might be worth a shot.
