[BUG] 0.0.18 in Fedora 41: Compilation Error in DKMS Module Due to Incompatibility with Python 3.13, DNF5, or Recent Kernel (most likely).

[Allephh]

Problem Description
The LenovoLegionLinux driver is probably not installed, since nothing has changed in practice. Although the Python GUI is here, I can't change anything there, and the options are impossible to activate.
At first, I thought it was a problem related to Python, because in the pre-installation, the text said Python(abi) = 3.12 was missing. Even installing this version of Python (along with pip = darkdetect) didn't solve the problem.
Before, in the post-installation, there were also problems related to DNF5, where it showed possible commands that had changed or no longer existed. However, when I installed it again yesterday after formatting, this didn't happen. Log of recently installation:

sudo.dnf.install.dkms.txt

And that's where the Kernel comes in. When I start the system, it presents problems like these:

• systemd-backlightglade:pi_s (or se) of leds: platform: :kbd_backlight.

• Failed to start: dkms.service - Bui...ll new kernel modules through DKMS. 'systemctl status dkms.service' for details.

Here are the videos demonstrating the absence of the driver and the errors.

That is using the old version. The compilation error for the "remove" function was fixed on master. A new version of the pkg for Fedora is needed.

Hi.
Could it have anything to do with this?

Any ideas when we plan to tag a new version?

Hi. Could it have anything to do with this? Changes/TunedAsTheDefaultPowerProfileManagementDaemon

If that's the case, that is being tracked here I believe: #279

[RodrigoPrestes]

Looks like we have a new tag, waiting new version to show up on copr.

@Allephh I build new packages just now pls test:

[RodrigoPrestes]

Tested on a Legion Slim 7 (16ARHA7, AMD Advantage) on a clean install.
v0.0.19 seems to have fixed installation on Fedora Workstation 41 as dnf completed without errors, and we closed #283.

---

On the other hand I couldn't make it work, it even breaks things, after a reboot it was using software rendering.
I've been trying to install these past few days on Fedora Workstation 40 with v0.0.18 and had the same issue so maybe I just don't know how to set it up on Fedora.

Here's the log where it has errors, although that's just the GUI:

Maybe we can close this and I'll open a new issue since it seems to be a different problem.

[MrDuartePT]

That error is very strange and dosent happen on my system

[RodrigoPrestes]

Never mind, it just needed a system update then it worked.

@Allephh I build new packages just now pls test:

Hello!
Should i proceed?
"Problem: Unable to install best candidate for the task - nothing provides python(abi) = 3.12 required by python-darkdetect-0.8.0-1.noarch from copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:mrduarte:LenovoLegionLinux".

[RodrigoPrestes]

@Allephh personally I didn't explicitly installed python-darkdetect since it's a dependency.
Can you try just sudo dnf install dkms-LenovoLegionLinux python-LenovoLegionLinux? (even though it's bound to fail as it's going to try to install python-darkdetect anyways)

Since I just tested with a clean install and it did not complained like this, maybe check if you have anything python related installed that might be causing this error.

Apparently everything is fine. Fn + Q working.

[Allephh]

I think now i'll install the new NVIDIA driver and start playing.
I really appreciate everyone.

Log of information that the LenovoLegionLinuxGui application reported in the corresponding section.

[Allephh]

After playing a bit, i have something to report.
I don't know if it's the LenovoLegionLinux driver's fault, but my NVIDIA video card seems to be super limited.
The fans work, but the temperatures - which should be high - don't, no matter the power mode. I don't know if it's something related to Fedora 41 and its native Wayland, but the performance in games is not as high as in Fedora 40. It seems like i'm using none or very little of it, in other means, only the APU. However, the system seems to identify it (icon, system details).
If i prove anything, i'll open a new discussion.

[Allephh]

I haven't been able to prove it concretely yet. It's something related to Wayland or Tuned.
As for Tuned, there are many Fedora 41 users complaining about poor performance and correlating it with that. Maybe it's a good idea to take a look.
When i turned on my computer a little while ago, i pressed ALT + TAB and some very strange errors appeared. The line was yellow and when GDM loaded, it was incomplete. I restarted and everything worked.

[MrDuartePT]

That don't have nothing to do with our driver. That other problem in your fedora system.

Also this issue close because the problem with the driver package is solve.
