Arch Linux User Repository

With the release of 1.4.1 CoolerControl has now been spit up into several packages. This requires users to uninstall and then reinstall the application.

See: https://gitlab.com/coolercontrol/coolercontrol/-/issues/347

There's an upside, there's now a binary AUR package coolercontrol-bin for less compile time!

Post-installation steps:

sudo systemctl enable --now coolercontrold

Then open the desktop application.

Hi, I can't install this package.

 -> error downloading sources: /home/USERNAME/.cache/yay/coolercontrol 
     context: exit status 12 

I checked the file it is complaining about and indeed it contains CRLF:

file ~/.cache/yay/coolercontrol/PKGBUILD 
/home/USERNAME/.cache/yay/coolercontrol/PKGBUILD: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators

UPDATE: Nevermind!

My .gitconfig was silently modified by a GUI client so I had this:

git config core.autocrlf
true

Setting this back to false fixed the issue for me.

Hi, I have this error during the build. What can I do ?

Bumped the pkgrel version to essentially trigger a rebuild for everyone.
I unfortunately know of no better way to handle these system python updates for AUR python packages.

New Python update seems to make CoolerControl unhappy until you remove and reinstall it: https://gitlab.com/coolercontrol/coolercontrol/-/issues/279

This just bit me. It basically prevents coolercontrol-liqctld from starting up, which means your fan curves aren't applied. I was basically running my system for a day or so at the lowest fan speeds T_T

Anyway we can make the AUR package a bit more resistent to Python upgrades like this?

For the Blank UI issue, see: https://gitlab.com/coolercontrol/coolercontrol/-/issues/229

Blank UI when launching CoolerControl

Launching coolercontrol from terminal results in this spammed message:
