13R3 - Error using GUI/cml - [Errno 75] Overflow ; [Errno 32] Pipe error ; #20
Comments
Hi, I actually have the same bug with my 13R3 =] |
same issue |
Hi guys, I have found a fix. Although its more of a compromise than a fix. If you set all the lights to off in windows and save this as the active profile, the keyboard lighting settings are retained in Ubuntu. |
may be its the same as in the 17R4. the controller build in there need 8 bits per color instead of 4 so the messages are getting longer resulting in 12 instead of 9 bytes... |
Yes, we need 8-bits per pixel and 12-byte length messages. I have made a very quick fork that will work on the AW13R3, but will, obviously, break on older models. Feel free to try for now, but it will require a cleaner solution for integration upstream. |
i'm currently working on support for model 17R4. for that purpose i created a newcmdpacket.py with modified properties for newer alienfx-controllers. it is still under development, but you might have a look at my fork: https://github.com/derco0n/alienfx |
@ssteinberg @lorhm @roobytwo @Dutisto You may try the zonescanner to find some correct zone codes. Please let us know if this works. |
@ssteinberg Thanks a bunch! Your fork worked like a charm. |
I have been looking for a solution to control the alienware 13's keyboard back lighting.
I simply want to have the functionality to turn it off and on.
Having installed alienfx, I ran into some issues -
This is the complete error message:
