Hey guys,

I don't know if this is the right place, or where to go if this isn't the right place, but I am running Ubuntu Studio. I don't really know what information is needed, but...

Ubuntu Studio 24.04 KDE plasma version 5.27.12 KDE Frameworks Version 5.115.0 QT Version 5.15.13 Kernel 6.11.0-1011-lowlatency (64 bit) Graphics platform: X11

HARDWARE: Acer Aspire 3 laptop Aspire A315-23 Version V1.21

Issue:

Mouse works fine on USB when the laptop is plugged into power. If I unplug power, the mouse stops functioning entirely, even if I plug the power back in. Mouse trackpad works either way.

Feels like it's some kind of power saving thing maybe, but it should work when it's plugged back into AC right?

Had a browse and it all feels a bit over my head for fixing this.. Any ideas?

Thanks

Thank you,

Are there any likely issues with me doing that? Like, can it wreck my dual boot or anything? Sorry, again, completely new to this.

Cheers

Nothing permanent that I can think of. You're probably running on mostly default settings anyway. It's a laptop so you'll likely only have one hard drive so boot order shouldn't be an issue. Only thing I can think of is if you got some kinda hardware encryption setup, but that's not likely on your typical laptop.
