Checking in 5.5 months later... any chance of looking at the failed patch and set -x?

Would you please take a look at the patch?

I'd also suggest patching prepare-for-current-kernel.sh to add a set -x for it to die on errors, thereby highlighting them.

other have the same problem but go to the original project directly: https://github.com/Plippo/asus-wmi-screenpad/issues/47

boscowitch commented on 2023-04-12 07:52 (UTC)

Seems like its not officially supported with newer kernels ??? but still works with force, if I get this post correctly: https://github.com/Plippo/asus-wmi-screenpad/issues/49

boscowitch commented on 2023-04-08 09:07 (UTC)

how about adding the force option ? since i do not want to manually reinstall it at every linux kernel upgrade, or am i missing something here ?

boscowitch commented on 2023-04-08 09:06 (UTC)

I reinstalled the Linux headers + Lts headers and it works fo rmy other DKMS modules, they get removed and readded (also awarning about the old headers but i guess this is for the fallback boot and doesnt matter that much):

my current kernel (just upgraded again): Linux ciss-zen 6.2.10-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri, 07 Apr 2023 02:10:43 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

so i guess removing does not work correctly once it stops working ? since its not loadable

Since a while ago i noticed that the brithness control is gone and not working anymore.

Reinstall gave the following errors:

I build and installed it manually with force, and it worked again... but only till now, I guess next kernel upgrade came.... very strange

Ataraxy commented on 2022-01-17 12:23 (UTC)

I'm assuming upstream, because it does work fine for the current kernel, and there's only a prepare-for-current-kernel.sh.

Issue raised: https://github.com/Plippo/asus-wmi-screenpad/issues/35

laurinneff commented on 2022-01-17 09:05 (UTC)

@Ataraxy, can you try to manually install it from here to see if it's an issue with the package or upstream?

Ataraxy commented on 2022-01-16 08:01 (UTC)

It works on my current kernel (5.15) but fails on 5.4 and 5.9:

The file /var/lib/dkms/asus-wmi/1.0/build/make.log doesn't exist. How would I go about debugging this?
