But...
Only when I had the USB-C cable in a certain way. When I inverted the orientation of the cable into the PPP, the functionality went away. That was repeatable multiple times.
I am pretty sure I also read early on in one of these forums, that charging had a similar issue.
Now, I thought that USB-C should work right side up and upside down, equally. But this seems not to be the case.
Does this make sense to anyone, or am I off base?
Thanks
I should expand:
I was talking to one of the hardware guys at work, as we are moving to USB-C hubs for the Hotel stations, and he told me that when the peripheral devices, specifically, display devices were connected or disconnected from a plugged in hub, things got problematic, but if the peripheral devices stayed connected to the hub, and just the hub was connected / disconnected from the computer things were far more stable.. I got similar info from one of the hub manufacturers. This is what I was testing with a few different hubs, and finally got one of them to mostly work.
Glad you got it to work!
The USB-C cable orientation definitely matters.
Now, since I got the latest update to:
Manjaro KDE Plasma version 5.24.3
KDE Frameworks version 5.92.0
Qt version 5.15.3
Kernel version 5.16.16.1-MANJARO-ARM
the Desktop Mode screen turns white, and I can't access any regular programs.
If I drag from the top of the screen with the mouse, it brings up the quick settings but nothing else works.
So the latest update killed the working Desktop Mode for me.
