For keyboard backlight control, make sure the user is part of the plugdev group.

can't get it to run on Dell-G16-7620. cloned from the git clone url, used makepkg, but running main.py simply raises a timeout exception

I found installation instructions here https://github.com/cemkaya-mpi/Dell-G15-Controller/blob/master/README.md. Can anyone please tell me how to properly install step by step. I am new to this udev and plug dev stuff also to ArchLinux. I am having Dell G15 5520. I installed dell-g15-controller package through pamac and added plugdev user but it is showing that this device is not 5525.

@cemkaya got it working after removing the paru cache for the pkg

I'm also having the sha256 problem when I try to update via pamac on Manjaro Linux. However, this problem does not occur via git clone + makepkg...

cemkaya commented on 2023-10-01 16:59 (UTC)

I just tried via git clone and makepkg, and the sha256sums were ok. @theRealCarneiro could you try again?

theRealCarneiro commented on 2023-10-01 12:57 (UTC)

sha256sums are invalid

G15 5520 is supported from v3.4 onwards.

For G15 5520 fan and power mode support, edit main.py and edit around line 69: change _SB.AMW3.WMAX to _SB.AMWW.WMAX. USTT_FullSpeed not working.
