Thank you so much to everyone in the forum for contributing, for reaching out to 8BitDo to request switching between XInput/DInput/Switch mode on the dongle, to Valve for adding support on DInput mode, to the SDL developers (and 8bitdo) for adding support on DInput mode, and finally, to the Linux kernel developers for adding support on XInput mode.

I got one of these cheap keyboards for a laugh:

It's a 61-key keyboard with some Fn function keys like a laptop.

How to install Ubuntu with LUKS Encryption on LVM

My work requires us to have full-disk encryption, so these are the steps I use.

The basic idea is to create a LUKS-encrypted partition which is used as an LVM Physical Volume.

	echo "Usage: $0 ISO\|CUE"

	exit
	fi

	if ! [ -x "$(which chdman)" ]; then
	echo "ERROR: Need chdman. Install mame-tools."
