[solved] i fail to install gHub-GUI. Where to ask for help?
[solved]: gHub-GUI seems outdated. openRGP does what i need instead.
Hi, i'd like to use my Logitech G915 LEDs properly under KDE neon and since logitech only provides for Win or Mac, someone recommended gHUB-GUI. https://github.com/ysph/gHub-GUI
I tried the little installation instructions on https://github.com/ysph/gHub-GUI but something does not seem to work. This is not my first git app(?), but the first one i can't seem to use. I tried to ask ChatGPT but it... ::: spoiler spoiler poured kerosene all over itself, jumped head first off the autobahn bridge, got ran over by a Lastkraftwagen, biting a cyanide pill. That ::: ...didn't help.
Can anybody please point me in the right direction?
I am fine with the CLI. I cloned the project, Installed those mentioned dependencies, but
~/gHub-GUI$ make all returns
gcc -g main.o mouselist.o -o ghub-gui -lusb-1.0. And i dont kow what that means.
Thanks!

Have you tried OpenRGB yet?
no, but that looks good. Gonna give it a try.
edit. that did it! Finally, just static lighting. Thanks!
Sweet glad to hear it!
argh but the keyboard still goes back to its default settings, which i wanted to get rid of, after a few minutes.
Darn, I have no idea what could be causing that :c sorry friend!
It works fine now.Uninstalled the openRGB flatplak from the kde neon app store (discover) and instead installed the .deb from the openrgb-website.Now it works with static dimmed LEDs. NICE!correction: nevermind it does not work. Again. They keyboard just resets itself after like a minute, regardless. Don't understand what is happening.
the classic cronjob workaround works great.
The command
/usr/bin/openrgb --profile /home/user/.config/OpenRGB/test.orpruns fine, loads the test.orp setting i saved with openrgb-GUI. Until the keyboard goes back to default after 4 min or so.Therefore i made a cronjob that does the same, just every 3 minutes:
*/3 * * * * /usr/bin/openrgb --profile /home/user/.config/OpenRGB/test.orpI manage my G502 with Piper, which does support the G915. While it'll do LEDs, I manage the LEDs on mine via OpenRGB.
See if you have a file called ghub-gui in that directory now. If it's there then you compiled it, type ./ghub-gui to try running it.
aha, i think it is installed but something else doesn't work. Well, i do have a logitech mouse but that is not what i am going to manage with that app. Its about my keyboard.
It looks like that is only for a mouse though, plus it hasn't been updated at all in a year and not much going on for several years before that.
If it's a unifying kind you should have solaar for sure, if not then install it.

at least it runs and recognizes my hardware. But it crashes a lot and none of the settings seem to have an effect. Had to run it as root to get it to see my periferals, but thats ok to me
