Arch Linux User Repository

@leonavis & @Theophilus: sorry for beeing honest. yes maybe to straight, but here is not the manjaro user repository. that was my point, good luck with you problem.

@leonavis: Thanks I will try to build it myself. I just wanted to confirm that others where getting the same error in case anyone has tracked down the source of the problem

Maybe a little harsh. Naturally, you're not on your own, since there is a manjaro-forum: https://forum.manjaro.org/

They surely will help. ;-)

But first, try to build it yourself from the official repo. https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl/-/wikis/Installation Maybe that'll work.

@Theophilus: manjaro is not archlinux, they use their own repositories. you use the "Arch User Repository" aka aur, there is no guarantee that aur is working for you on manjaro. sorry.

even manjaro say this on their wiki page

https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository

you're on your own

@evil-god I am getting the same error as @matrs First time installing the package on an up to date Manjaro system.

@matrs: arch or manjaro?

Same as @SimplyTadpole. Recently updated system, first time installing the package, all the dependencies get properly installed but the build fails:

Output

This is still broken for me. Even after the latest update and running a full system update & upgrade, trying to run the clocking function still crashes my computer.

yes, rebuild works flawlessly.

just do a rebuild and everything works. no symlinking or something...

@der_fenix: please set pkgrel=3 to 4 and everyone is happy :-)

For a temporary fix, I reverted the botan update via: sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/botan-2.18.2-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

This is indeed broken by a libbotan update. I also tried to use Wiichele's suggestion of symlinking the newer botan library, but it causes my computer to kill itself and reboot.

It turns out there is a cmake file looking for the botan library, so I just recompiled the package

botan in extra changed the name of a .so file, which in turn broke the program. I used this command as a temporary solution: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libbotan-2.so.19 /usr/lib/libbotan-2.so.18

Stop making it outdated. hwdata already in dependence, instead of hwids. Update corectl first to resolve the dependence blocking

change hwids to hwdata in the dependancies

Same as @nanotwerp, removing hwids breaks dependency 'hwids' required by corectrl

The latest Arch update recommends using hwdata instead of hwids (as hwids is now inactive), but hwids is still listed as a mandatory dependency. This forced me to modify the PKGBUILD and .SRCINFO myself and build it with makepkg.

Hey, the command glxinfo has moved from the package mesa-demos to mesa-utils. Therefore, you should change the optdepend mesa-demos to mesa-utils, because CoreCtrl only needs glxinfo

It's not mine, all credits goes to the @jpalaciosdev :)

Just wanted to say thanks der_fenix for an amazing utility.

Hmm, okay. Just for that, I won't do that for now ;-) but maybe when I wanna play something very demanding. thx for help Edit: Alright I found the weirdest work-around. When I reinstall it, it works - I do not have to rebuild it, just remove it and install it again, and it works. Don't really understand what's happening but as long as it works, whatever

then you might wanna consider cleaninstall of arch,because linux,unlike windows, is still prone to system file corruptions and power outages(talking from experience)

I did, otherwise it wouldn't show me the options to change the voltage at all. If I rebuild it, voltage-control works, but as soon as I reboot my system, although it still shows me the options I have saved correctly, the voltage-control stops working, and I'm stuck with default voltage. I already made a ticket at the corectrl-gitlab-page, but no response so far. The fan-control works fine. Same in X11 and Wayland, so it's not that either. Quite strange. It also did work up until some time ago (no idea when exactly though, but some update not very long ago must have caused it). It's not the kernel either, tried Zen and Default linux-kernel (haven't tried LTS yet, maybe I will, too). Edit: Okay, lts-kernel doesn't help either.

srry for my attitude,didnt read ur comment properly so im dumb, not wise at all. if u already tried these then i cant help u: did you save your profile? did you add the kernel parameter to your boot loader? https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl/-/wikis/Setup https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/kernel_parameters

I have and as stated, it works fine when first build and only stops working after rebooting. So I do not think it's a problem with the setup. But if you're so very wise, why not hint me in the right direction to solve my apparantly easy-to-solve problem?

@leonavis first go read its docs and how to set it up before posting this kind of shit

I have a weird failure. CoreCtrl does seem to work, but it does not seem to be able to keep the voltage-settings. When I build it, it works, but as soon as I reboot (it's in Autostart) it just takes the default settings for the card, not the ones I have set, which are however shown correctly in CoreCtrl. I'm on a RX580 with AMDGPU-mesa drivers, the default ones. Fancontrol does seem to work.

Thank you for the trick. I didn't know makepkg.conf before ;)

It uses MAKEFLAGS from /etc/makepkg.conf. So, just add your '-jxx' there and the build will be faster.

The package build too slow with default settings. I think make -C build -j $(nprocs) will be much quicker.

makepkg -si fails with this message as of may 4th, 2021

if it stops working after updating botan just rebuild it

Damn, I was wonderig why my system was so hot yesterday. Din´t even realize CC was not running until I recieved notification from here.

Just rebuild and reinstall the corectrl package

After update:

corectrl: error while loading shared libraries: libbotan-2.so.17: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

There is no such automatic option, but I will try to find a solution.

The corectrl binary is out-of-sync again with botan:

% corectrl corectrl: error while loading shared libraries: libbotan-2.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I don't know if this is a limitation in aur, but would it be possible to bump the package version every time one of its dependencies change in a way that requires rebuilding it?

new boton version broke it again

Just re-build and re-install the package, it should help.

looks like boton got upgraded to 1.6

corectrl: error while loading shared libraries: libbotan-2.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I made a link to libbotan-2.so.16 and it seems to be working for now.

It does not seem to work with my Ryzen 1700 CPU. I mean profiles and any OC or fan speed stuff is just missing. In the "system" part it does identify it just fine. (also GPU part works)

Fixed, thanks!

The $pkgdir should not be referenced in the build() function.

Normally the -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release option should not be used, see Cmake undesired behaviors.

build() {
  cmake -B build -S "$pkgname-v$pkgver" \
  -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
  -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF \
  -Wno-dev
  make -C build
}

package() {
  make -C build DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install
}

Rebuilding it worked, thanks!

There were update for botan a few days ago. Just re-install corectl

I started getting this error today when running it:

corectrl: error while loading shared libraries: libbotan-2.so.13: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It looks like corectrl depends on botan 2.13, but the botan package is on 2.15.

I have a solution.

The problem that @saloniamatteo faced is caused by lack of a polkit authentication agent. What you need to do is install one, and have it run before launching Corectrl.

I get this error:

[09-06-20 21:31:00.457][W] No translation found for locale en_US

What should I do? My machine's language was always set to en_US; I installed corectrl with yay -Sy corectrl, and I also installed the optional dependencies, with no luck whatsoever.

cat /tmp/CoreCtrl.log:

I've also found this issue on upstream's gitlab: https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl/-/issues/89

@py_crash I got a similiar issue with a Qt package recently, and updating all of my packages helped.

It doesn't work in Manjaro with KDE:

$ corectrl

corectrl: /usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5: version `Qt_5.15' not found (required by corectrl)

corectrl: /usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5: version `Qt_5.15' not found (required by /usr/lib/libcorectrl.so)

@u666sa Added, thanks!

@der_fenix Add two more dependencies, without these there is going to be tray icon problem, tray icon will be missing. If you don't have these problems, that simply means you already have these packages installed. Add these to your PKGBUILD 1. qt5-svg 2. qt5-xmlpatterns

Tray icon is missing, it is shown as blank. What to do? Arch, XFCE

Friendly note. If you get an error about libbotan check if the botan package was recently updated. It seems it's not only a regular dependency but also a make dependency. All you need is rebuilt the package

[17-08-19 17:42:43.261][E] [helpercontrol.cpp:131] Helper start error. DBus Backend error: could not contact the helper. Connection error: Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying. Message error:

[17-08-19 17:42:43.261][W] Cannot start helper

got this error when trying to launch corectrl. xfce

@c0d3st0rm Yes, please. Include your CoreCtrl logs on the issue. You can find them on /tmp.

I keep on getting a std::bad_alloc on initialization. Should that be reported upstream?

Updated, thanks!

Just released 1.0.5

Remember, qca is not needed anymore so you can remove it as a build dependency.

Some of the components required for building are required as runtime dependencies as well. I should have include them on the list of runtime dependencies on the wiki. My fault.

Add the following packages as required: karchive, kauth, qt5-charts, qt5-quickcontrols2, botan, qt5-base.

I also removed qca as a requided dependency on master. It will be removed on 1.0.5 too.

I was also missing botan and qt5-charts. Both should be dependencies, otherwise I get

corectrl: error while loading shared libraries: libbotan-2.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

or

corectrl: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5Charts.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Libraries required for the program to run should be regular dependencies, not make dependencies. I had to install botan, kauth, and qt5-quickcontrols2 manually because pikaur uninstalled them after making the package.

corectrl: error while loading shared libraries: libbotan-2.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I have botan2.11.0

I need to install qt5-quickcontrols2 to make it work.

Dependecies were updated on the wiki. Now requires gcc>=8.

Removed, thanks!

I think you should remove that for size ... line because it ruins icons again. The problem was solved.

Added missing deps, thanks

On my system, both qt5-quickcontrols and qca were required as dependencies.

Version 1.0.2 fixed the missing icons issue, so the PKGBUILD doesn't that workaround anymore.

Thanks for corrections, changes applied, should work now

If you don't see icons, add this to package():

for size in 24x24 48x48 32x32 96x96 64x64 22x22 196x196 72x72 128x128 16x16 256x256
do 
ln -s $pkgdir/usr/share/icons/hicolor/$size/apps/CoreCtrl.svg $pkgdir/usr/share/icons/hicolor/$size/apps/corectrl.svg
done

Also make changes to the patch: replace /home/fenix/tmp/ to the directory where you cloned this repo.

Just released 1.0.2 with important fixes.
