I'm trying to use my DJI Mini 2 controller in Ubuntu 22.04. I have the joystick and jstest-gtk packages installed. The system recognize the controller and creates two serial ports:

But neither jstest-gtk nor Steam find an available controller. Do I need to install some other packages?

It's quite likely these are not supported joystick devices. Do the devices show up under `/dev/input/js*`? What does `ls -l /dev/input/js*` show?

@popey there are no such devices under `/dev/input/` starting with js. But since the device is recognized, it's not just a matter of installing the right driver?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
