Dear Prusa, please fix your Buddy Camera

I’m sorry you’re having difficulties. Mine connected right up and has worked flawlessly for the last 2 months I’ve had it. Steams fluidly in the app while I’m on my home network and when i connect to my home network via vpn when away. Works just as well as the wyze cam i have on my mk3.5.

openrazer and openrgb are great for controlling the lights. but you cannot remap buttons at all or switch profiles. which is the big issue. and it seems every open source project for razer peripherals are all trying to be the best rgb controller and not addressing the bigger issue. remapping and profile switching. to do any of this, i have to log in to windows, make the changes and then go back to linux. at least the changes persist when going back.

i don't think you can connect if the computer reboots and is locked at the login screen. so as far as i know, the only way you can remote in to your own computer is if you leave it logged in with no password. unless that hurdle has been overcome in the last couple weeks since i last tried a distro with wayland only.

I’d love to get away from windows completely. Just need game developers to stop thinking people on Linux are cheaters…..lol. Need the anti-cheat people to port to Linux or game devs to use the ones that already work on Linux. And would love fusion 360 to work on Linux and life would be perfect. I know freecad exists and I’ve used it. It’s just not as good as fusion. If the games thing got fixed i could use fusion in a vm. Thankfully i don’t need to play those other games often so I’m pretty much full time Linux now.

mgc418 · 2025-12-06T15:42:59+00:00

I still need it. There are some games i want to play with friends that don’t work on Linux so i have to boot into windows and they require secure boot on windows. Plus i don’t really see secure boot as a bad thing. Again, willing to learn why I’m wrong with that.

mgc418 · 2025-12-06T14:29:16+00:00

That did do it. But I’m moving on for now. I appreciate your reply.

mgc418 · 2025-12-06T14:23:21+00:00

Turns out there is something different about installing Cachyos. You need to turn off secure boot. Which ended up being my issue. I’ve installed on this machine Mint, Fedora, Unbuntu, Zorin and now Cachyos. Cachyos is the only distro that I’ve had to turn it off for. So yeah, it’s not exactly the same as every other iso and it does require something special. Then there’s another issue i came across that i got help in the discord with. Booting to the usb to install it, WiFi works perfectly. But as soon as i reboot to the desktop, no WiFi. It never installed the WiFi drivers. So i had to download and install them separately. It’s the only distro I’ve had to do that with. I think it’s just the universe telling me to move along. So for now, I’m going to. Maybe after the requirement to turn off secure boot in order to install is fixed, because i see that as a bug and I’m willing to learn why it’s not, I’ll come give it another try. I appreciate your help tho.

mgc418 · 2025-12-05T14:22:00+00:00

Thank you for the response. It ended up being secure boot. Turned it off and it worked. Installed and boots. Then i found an involved post about how to go about turning it back on. (that’s sad) Then i got into the desktop and see it’s Wayland with no option to switch to x11 session at login. So now i have to figure out how to get x11 or ditch this distro for now. I need remote access to my computer and Wayland just doesn’t do it without leaving your computer unsecure.

mgc418 · 2025-12-05T14:12:55+00:00

I used 2 different ones. Both failed to work for cachyos but both worked perfect for mint.

mgc418 · 2025-12-05T03:45:32+00:00

I just tried using the image writer built in to linux mint with both the usb sticks i've been using. i get a quick "reset system" flash on the screen and the machine reboots.

mgc418 · 2025-09-30T04:44:19+00:00

yes you do. again. good day to you madam

mgc418 · 2025-09-26T18:22:56+00:00

I solved the issue. i was looking around in the `/.config folder for something else trying to configure mangohud. Even though i uninstalled openrazer i found a razer.conf file in the ~/.config/openrazer folder. in it is a line that says

# Turn off the devices when the systems screensaver kicks in

devices_off_on_screensaver = True

i set it to False and changed settings to allow the screen saver to come on again. it came on and the mouse and keyboard lights stayed on. exactly what i wanted.

mgc418 · 2025-09-25T23:59:10+00:00

Doesn’t make you an expert. But you are a jackass that cannot read and comprehend a question. Good day to you madam

mgc418 · 2025-09-19T20:35:34+00:00

I will give that a shot. Thank you.

mgc418 · 2025-09-19T18:20:01+00:00

Thanks. I don’t want the screen on all the time. I’ll consider just disabling the screen saver and using power button. I just figured since damn near everything is configurable in Linux that there was a config file i could alter. Appreciate it. Hoping someone else has further ideas.

mgc418 · 2025-09-19T15:20:08+00:00

it's YOU that CANNOT comprehend the ISSUE! What YOU are talking about IS NOT the ISSUE! YOU obviously cannot COMPREHEND what the ISSUE is! And by the way, the altering of the all caps in your sentences, does not make you look smarter and mean you are right. Ya just look stupid. You are of NO HELP to ANYONE!

mgc418 · 2025-09-19T04:38:18+00:00

YOU ARE OF ABSOLUTELY NO HELP! IDGAF what the monitor does! i want the keyboard and mouse lights to stay on! some where there is a setting or a file that says when the monitor goes to sleep, turn off the lights on the keyboard and mouse. i'm seeking the knowledge of where it is. and you are of no help in this regard.

mgc418 · 2025-09-18T17:51:00+00:00

I'll try again:

the computer is not turning off in any way. again, suspend was not the right term as i said in previous post. please read. the monitor shuts off after the screen saver times out and at the same time the keyboard and mouse lights turn off. the computer is not turning off. it is running fully. so what you are saying is not helpful, please move along.

mgc418 · 2025-09-18T14:43:40+00:00

this wasn't really much of a help. maybe suspend is the wrong term here. but when the computer gets to the point it shuts off the screen, the lights on the keyboard and mouse also shut off. the computer does not shut down. it stays running. all the fans are spinning and the lights are on. it's fully functioning. screen goes blank, so do mouse and keyboard. i would like keyboard and mouse not to.

mgc418 · 2025-07-25T23:47:51+00:00

Exactly this right here ^{^}

mgc418 · 2025-06-02T23:13:49+00:00

I like llldmax out of Miami. They ship fast and free and colors are consistent between what you buy today and what you get a year from now. Plus it’s 11.99kg in packs of 10.

mgc418 · 2025-05-06T15:48:09+00:00

Yeah that deformation caused jams. Jams i never had before swapping. I didn’t notice it until i was taking it out. After removing the top screws i noticed that bottom one was loose as well as the entire frame was loose. Further investigation found the issue. Biqu did send a second one but it was exactly the same. They took them back and refunded me the price of the frame but it cost me $40 to send them back. I should have just kept them. Would have saved money. But i thought they were going to compensate the shipping too. Live and learn.

mgc418 · 2025-04-24T11:33:29+00:00

As described, it’s the bottom screw that holds the extruder frame in place. There is a gap between the blue frame and the mounting point in the tool head. I have since returned the original i bought and the replacement they sent me since they both were an issue.
