Linux Lite Forums

I am trying to connect the Yamaha music keyboard PSR-e473 as a MIDI controller keyboard in Linux Lite OS. 

However, it is not showing and is undetected by my PC running LinuxLiteOS 7.8

I had checked the cable; it is working perfectly with other devices, and the keyboard is recognized by the other device as a MIDI controller. 

It will be great if any one of you can guide or share reference documentation for further troubleshooting. 

Kind Regards,

The Yamaha documentation mentions connections to windows and macos computers but not Linux.

Are any of these devices Linux ?
Have you any documentation to suggest it is Linux compatible ?

With the unit plugged in to your Linux Lite 7.8 system, open a terminal (press Ctrl, Alt and T) and run this command to show what the system can see.

Post back the results.

Thank you, Steve, for a response.

I had tried to troubleshoot the possible options and list USB peripherals.

The generic drivers for Yamaha music keyboards are not supported, and the Yamaha technical team does not release drivers for the Linux platform.

I will wait for new updates for the Linux kernel modules. It is weird some music keyboards and MIDI controllers work perfectly with Linux and others don't.
