Add instructions on fixing Failed to open device on Linux #256

Open Talinx opened 1 week ago

Talinx commented 1 week ago

Add instructions for linux users on how to fix Failed to open the device error.

Linux users usually encounter this problem when trying to use via (#93 #224 #236 #255). This PR aims to make the process easier by providing instructions on the errors page.

It adds a button to fix problems on the errors pane:

Fix button

Clicking this button opens a modal with instructions:

Fix Failed to open device error modal

(Maybe it would be nice to add a notification when authorizing a keyboard fails so that the user can't miss the produced errors.)

Closes #236
