Solaar loses configs on MX Master 2S after suspend

Created on 20 Oct 2018  路  13Comments  路  Source: pwr-Solaar/Solaar

Version: master
OS: Kubuntu 17.10

Whenever the computer returns from sleep, Solaar does not send over the config again, leaving the mouse in the default state.

This pull fixes it the issue so please merge

Nevermind, only occasionally fixes it.

Okay so after a suspend or any loss of connection other than a physical power cycle, the mouse sends

10 FF 8000 000000

Which presumably is just the mouse letting you know that it's lost it's volatile memory. I'm trying to patch Solaar but the weirdnest of that is making the notification get sent somewhere I don't expect or not creating a notification at all

Okay this is even easier, 10 FF 8000 000000 is sent by the receiver. We should probably just reset everything if we get that.

Anyone alive out there to suggest how?

Possibly same issue as #356?

Not exactly. That bug is crazy, it does detect the device reconnect but at some point in the process it saves the default dpi to your settings.

In this one, it doesn't notice that it needs to reconfigure the devices at all. I've fixed this bug(but need to get it into a releasable state), and then I still get to deal with that one

Fixes are coming

Any news on this, or any way I can help?
I just bought a Master 3 and every time I come out of suspend I have to close and reopen Solaar to change the DPI from the 1000dpi default and also enable high wheel resolution.

(running KDE Neon basically Ubuntu 18.04)

I expect that this is an occurrence of Solaar not saving settings for features discovered at run time so PR #649 should solve the problem.

With PR #649 merged, the version of Solaar in this repository should fix your problem. Please clone Solaar from this repository and run it from the download directory as bin/solaar. If the problem is still active please add a comment to this issue.

I'm running the version from ppa:solaar-unifying/ppa
1.0.1+dfsg-1+git864-91bcfa2-202001220517~ubuntu18.04.1
which is after the commit and its still showing the problem.

Personally I've solved the issue with a script which runs whenever my computer wakes from sleep:
sleep 3
killall solaar
/usr/bin/solaar &

But obviously this is a bit of a hack....

Closing due to no response from original poster.

Can confirm: Current master works, DPI setting persists after wakeup.
