Thanks and so long for all the fish.

Thanks to the newest python update,you need to rebuild the package to make it work. If you use yay,just use yay -S envycontrol --rebuild and it will work
After today's update this appears: Package "envycontrol" has files in directory "/usr/lib/python3.13" that are ignored by the current Python interpreter
Looking at the comment for the out of date flag (not sure why they flagged as out of date)... more a sha256sum request.
Running updpkgsums will pull the correct checksum on the package, which should be
sha256sums=('82cfa1b8b462d35ee7900610069267c4a9bbb582574336f831366e02b263c500')
for release 3.5.2 on github.
It looks like the flag is a mistake
The package is flagged out of date. Any idea when it will be updated?
Seems like this is missing a dependency:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'mkinitcpio'
i tried to uninstall and install optimus manager but it left reminant udev rule that removes the NVIDIA device if present, removing the NVIDIA device from lspci
Removing this and reinstalling completely from scratch worked for me!
