Error installing on G531GT-BQ002T i

[arch-raven]

I was installing via the second method in elementary OS 5.1 Hera. on running the "make" command I had this particular issue:

make all-am

Sorry, I apparently just broke that, but I can't get my GCC to reproduce the error no matter what build flags I specify. Can you verify that #26 builds for you?

[arch-raven]

I checked #26 . I am a complete noob bro. I didn't get it, what to do. There are 5-6 commits, which one to incorporate?

[JoshDreamland]

Oh, sorry for the confusion. The changes are available in this ZIP archive. If you wouldn't mind just unpacking that and running the same build commands you were using before, I'd appreciate it. ☺

The tool in that Zip should work, but Will and I are having trouble figuring out how to associate firmware versions with USB messages, so there's a good chance the rainbow and multi_breathing commands will not work for you. I'll send Will a patch for the changes in master if you're able to so much as build it.

Thanks!

Hey, thanks for making it easy. I downloaded the archive and proceded as before and this time there was no error in make command and sudo make install displayed:
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/aditya/rogauracore-retool'
/bin/mkdir -p '/usr/local/bin'
/usr/bin/install -c rogauracore '/usr/local/bin'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'install-data-am'.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/aditya/rogauracore-retool'

Then I tried rogauracore blue and got this:

Could not open ROG Aura Core keyboard: LIBUSB_ERROR_ACCESS

[JoshDreamland]

Excellent. Thanks for the update! Unfortunately, since it interfaces with USB devices directly, rogauracore needs to run as root (ie, you have to call sudo rogauracore blue instead of just rogauracore blue).

Also, if nothing happens, try sudo rogauracore brightness 3.

We should probably update that error message to suggest running as root...

[arch-raven]

Hey, thanks bro. It's working now. rogauracore --help showed the command structures. Thanks a lot again.
