Profiles not saving.

[mcoyle1960]

First off, works great on Legion Pro 5 16IRX9, except...

Profiles not saving.

Running app with sudo ./legion-kb-rgb and while it works, I get this in the terminal:

No subcommands found, starting in GUI mode. To view the possible subcommands type "legion-kb-rgb --help".
The application panicked (crashed).
Message: called Result::unwrap() on an Err value: D-Bus error: /usr/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally without any error message (org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed)

Backtrace omitted. Run with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 environment variable to display it.

Thanks for your work!

If I understood this correctly, it's two separate issues?

Profiles not saving.

When you go to save a profile (externally) does it crash/lock up/do nothing? Or do you mean the settings file keeping track of the in-app profiles?

and while it works, I get this in the terminal

knsi is related to the tray icon, which has been bugging me forever in linux.

Does everything else still "just work" or does the whole app crash? What desktop/window manager are you using?

PS: Have you tried https://github.com/4JX/L5P-Keyboard-RGB?tab=readme-ov-file#usage to not have to use sudo?

I was making a detailed list of my actions when I discovered whats causing the problem.
I have been closing the window by clicking the 'close window' title bar button. Not good.

When I quit the app using the 'Exit' menu option, everything works as intended. Profiles are saved and it cleanly exits the terminal.

So the issue is quiting the app via the title bar button.

Additionally, I tried adding the 2023 Legion code to /etc/udev/rules.d/99-kblight.rules (which I created), but I can't run as user. This is not problem for me at all, but thought you'd like to know. BTW, my computer is a 9th gen 2024 Legion Pro 5. More info below.

Ah yeah, this pretty much comes down to the app trying to create a tray icon where there's no possibility to. The usual behaviour (in the case that there's a system tray) is that the window close button really "only" closes the window, and lets a tray icon be displayed to control the app while it runs in the background.

In this case it's trying to create a tray icon, and failing, but not overriding the close behaviour

The application panicked (crashed).
Message: called Result::unwrap() on an Err value: D-Bus error: /usr/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally without any error message (org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed)

The exit button on the other hand always quits the app unconditionally.

Ah whoops, forgot to add those models to the readme. Try using these IDs.

Sorry, not sure I did this correctly based on the link you gave me above, but these are the lines I placed in: /etc/udev/rules.d/99-kblight.rules

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="048d", ATTR{idProduct}=="c995", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="048d", ATTR{idProduct}=="c994", MODE="0666"

and then:
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger

Not able to run as user with version 0.19.6.

Just to be clear, I don't care about running as user. :) But if it helps you, I can keep trying things.

Hello, can you test if it works with https://github.com/4JX/L5P-Keyboard-RGB/actions/runs/10948820367 and "AppIndicator and KStatusNotifier..." as the tray icon extension? Seems to do the trick over here with no crashes

[mcoyle1960]

A little better. As sudo, I can close the app and it doesn't crash, but it doesn't fully quit either. As a normal user, the close box doesn't seem to work. Here's a short video showing what's happening.

OPPS: forgot to comment on the topbar icon. Yes it works.

I was hoping that the window not hiding was just an issue with my "fancy" NixOS system but it looks like its general to any system running wayland (for the GUI framework I'm using).

Will hit them up about it and see if something can be done, because otherwise I'd be stuck on a year old version of it.

[mcoyle1960]

Don't worry too much about it. Your app is great. It's what tipped me into buying the Lenovo knowing that I could control the keyboard lights in Linux. Keep up the great work.

Tray should be working with https://github.com/4JX/L5P-Keyboard-RGB/releases/tag/v0.20.0. Decided to not tackle window hiding for now.
