I was messing around with the CachyOS Kernel Manager, building an lts. (someone suggested having a second kernel is a good idea and I went with that, my boot loader is not showing a second option. My boot loader is QrEFInd) The Kernel Manager did build it and I did install it, I suppose.
However:
I did not let the SU prompt go through on execute.
It is the last change I did and while I agree I was reckless and stupid and deserve my suffering, it doesn’t make much sense.
What I ended up doing was installing linux-cachyos 6.11.1-1. (I wish I had taken a screenshot of pacman saying downgrade to …)
I reverted that by a pacman -Syu - but the issue with my wireless mouse not connecting still persists. It does work when I plug in the USB though.
This is not to complain or get a fix for my system. This is to show that there probably is some kind of bug.
I will nuke this system tomorrow anyway, but I’m happy to provide any logs if that’s helpful, I’d just need to know which.
As far as I can see it as the end user: Yes I did build that optional kernel. It is installed “somehow”, but I don’t have the option to boot off it and my current kernel is now malfunctioning by missing the wireless link with my mouse.
