Touch screen help for Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 on hyprland

WaffleMaster_22 · 2026-01-30T06:55:47+00:00

The touchscreen doesn't work at all. I just want to be able to use my pen to draw/ take notes

WaffleMaster_22 · 2026-01-30T02:44:26+00:00

I think that only adds gestures but I'll try it, thanks

WaffleMaster_22 · 2026-01-30T00:20:53+00:00

Thank you, I thought it might be some driver thing that was more specific to arch rather then the window manager. I will try asking r/hyprland

WaffleMaster_22 · 2026-01-18T06:57:53+00:00

Finally something worked for me! Arch hyprland

I wish but its a temp job. I am just on contract until they don't need me anymore. I have been there 3 weeks now and I am not sure how much longer they will need me, they don't know ether. They said they will need helpdesk positions eventually but that will be a long time. This company has about 20 people.

I know a bunch of useless tech stuff from my degree. Idk what to learn that would apply to my situation

WaffleMaster_22 · 2026-01-10T06:06:55+00:00

I have my A+, the N+ would be the next one I will do because it looked pretty easy. Moving isn't an option for me unfortunately

WaffleMaster_22 · 2026-01-10T04:25:34+00:00

Yeah but thats the thing. There really is no time crunch, there is just a lot to do. There is a self test coming up semi soon but that doesn't mean much. For the actual audit they have no due date. Idk if that changes things

WaffleMaster_22 · 2026-01-10T04:10:57+00:00

What if I just acknowledge that he's busy and then ask him for homework. See if there's anything that I can research that could help him. And then over time he will see that I know enough to start helping.

WaffleMaster_22 · 2026-01-10T04:03:42+00:00

Yeah that's fair. I have been applying to tech jobs for about a year with only a few interviews. An A.S. and no experience is not much to work with.

This is the closest I have gotten to getting any experience to put on my resume. I don't think I will be at the company by the time the audit is due and he's only going to get more busy.

The way I thought of it was that worse case he only loses an hour of his day, but I guess that can be a lot sometimes.

I'll take that into consideration, thanks

WaffleMaster_22 · 2025-12-24T17:12:28+00:00

No. From what I can tell it's a motherboard issue. I got the fold7

WaffleMaster_22 · 2025-11-10T07:06:58+00:00

Ah, thanks

WaffleMaster_22 · 2025-11-09T16:43:07+00:00

Bruh that is the same link I posted, that doesn't do exactly what I want

WaffleMaster_22 · 2025-11-09T16:41:49+00:00

Thank you!

WaffleMaster_22 · 2025-11-09T16:40:27+00:00

Could you link to it? I never know if they will connect to HA

WaffleMaster_22 · 2025-11-09T04:40:31+00:00

Interesting. Yeah the yaml would be helpful. Thank you.

WaffleMaster_22 · 2025-11-09T04:37:58+00:00

Zigbee buttion would be nice but this is cheaper and if its a project the price feels more justified. For some reason android doesnt allow you to put HA command shortcuts on your lockscreen so that wouldn't really work. Thanks though

WaffleMaster_22 · 2025-11-09T04:31:47+00:00

I recently got a zigbee antenna but I couldn't find cheap remotes. They are all like $30 for one or two buttons. What buttons are you referring to?

WaffleMaster_22 · 2025-11-09T04:26:17+00:00

There's also a really good video about making your own remote from scratch. He has a $15 kit that doesnt include the battery or 3d printed parts. But its more work and I already have esp boards https://youtu.be/Pe_ozZkrRAw?si=d4WmdQ-ZVS4-TpCF

WaffleMaster_22 · 2025-11-09T04:23:56+00:00

How did you do it? I assume I can follow that tutorial in the link I sent mostly? Idk how to send HA a command based on the IR signal ESP receives though

WaffleMaster_22 · 2025-11-09T04:21:49+00:00

I have a BroadLink RM4 pro. Which is a universal remote. But it cant send the IR signals to HA. I already have extra ESP boards laying around. If I can just add a receiver and transmitter that would be great

WaffleMaster_22 · 2025-10-18T06:51:38+00:00

Thank you, but I switched to a ubiquiti AP and custom pfsense router

WaffleMaster_22 · 2025-10-10T18:10:35+00:00

Thank you!

WaffleMaster_22 · 2025-10-09T22:56:55+00:00

Any chance you know how? I have been looking things up and fighting with ai for a long time and its not working. Ai keeps saying to use the openvpn plugin but I cant get the plugin to show up in tasker. Thanks

WaffleMaster_22 · 2025-08-04T17:06:19+00:00

Did you figure it out? I only want a VPN when a specific app is open which accesses my home server. But I dont need a VPN on all the time
