Arch Linux User Repository

This is an unofficial package. It only exists for those who would prefer to build asus-nb-ctrl from the source instead of relying on the Asus-Linux binary repository. For more info on the binary repo look at https://asus-linux.org/wiki/g14-and-g15/setup-guides/arch-full-guide/

EDIT: Solved it! For anyone else having the same issue using "pamac build asusctl-git", try using "makepkg":

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/asusctl-git.git
cd asusctl-git
makepkg -si

Build fails on Manjaro KDE; any suggestions?

error: failed to get `gumdrop` as a dependency of package `asusctl v4.0.7 (/var/cache/private/pamac/asusctl-git/src/asusctl/asusctl)`

Thanks for the package. Would you correct the upstream URL to https://gitlab.com/asus-linux/asusctl

url="https://gitlab.com/asus-linux/asusctl"
source=('git+${url}.git')

maybe even.

Also power-profiles-daemon is a dependency now

@Karrq what I have noticed is to switch to hybrid first then you can switch to dedicated. Thats what I have noticed so far

@Karrq Yeah, that seems to happen every once in a while. Here's a link for now. As far as that hardware configuration goes, I'm not sure what support looks like right now. https://discord.gg/MrX9cqj5

Anyone having issues switching to the dedicated GPU? I have a newer model, with ryzen 9 and rtx 3060, but I'm not able to use this to switch graphics mode...

the discord links I tried were all dead for the asus-linux.org

Alright, which one of you jokers decided to flagged a git package out of date...

It's a git package. Just rebuild it on your end and it will fetch the latest possible version available at the moment.

@cvelteren sounds like you never started the daemon. The upstream dbus rules to do this automatically don't take effect until reboot. Hit it with a systemctl start asusd or reboot.

@arglebargle adding outdated packages to the provides and conflicts stanza doesn't seem like the best idea. In the case that these were added what should be the grace period before they are removed.

@Static_Rocket installing it and running asusctl yields

Error: MethodError("org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown", Some("The name org.asuslinux.Daemon was not provided by any .service files"), Msg { type: Error, sender: "org.freedesktop.DBus", reply-serial: 7, body: Signature: [
    s (115),
] })

and yeah I raised it with the gitlab repo, but the issue was immediately closed unfortunately :\ is there an old runnable version still around somewhere?

EDIT:

journalctl just states that the main process panicked

thread 'main' panicked at 'Please remove /etc/asusd/asusd.conf then restart asusd', daemon/src/config.rs:89:17

Which I tried but to no avail.

EDIT 2: got it to work for some odd reason! Second deletion and reload fixed it for whatever reason.

Could you elaborate on "installing it yields errors" and the link in the comments is dead because the creator doesn't wish to support arch any more and has removed a lot of the old documentation. Not a whole lot I can do about that.

@Static_Rocket what is the status of this package? Installing it yields errors and the link in the pinned comment is dead.

It might be a good idea to add a couple more packages to the provides and conflicts stanzas so that this cleanly interacts with both the binary and git packages for asus-nb-ctrl and the old rog-core. These enable you to install this package and have your package manager remove the conflicting packages at the same time:

Taken care of

Could you please add provide=("asus-nb-ctrl") so that either of the two versions (this and the one from the g14 repo) can be used as a requirement in other packages (e.g. zephyrusbling-git, which I maintain)?
