Contrary to the description present in this repository, my model have not an rgb keyboard as probably other models have (a variation?) and i only want that the fan speed works, but it don' t work. I don't want to overclock the CPU. My interest is to control the temperature low. My laptop shutdown sometimes if the temperature is to high.
So the command that i want to execute sometimes is: ./facer_rgb.py -s 9
But that command do nothing in my case. The installation was as a systemd method and without any error.
sudo cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT > dsdt.aml dsdt.zip
Secure boot is off:
My specific model:
I suggest you to use ncdu program for now, as this repo doesn't have required functionality for now.
@JafarAkhondali Thanks, but i know it have not support. The reason to open the issue was that.
@snowyoneill Thanks, i will give it a try, but i don't want to use pip. So, i will see if i can install it without to use pip. If i can i will test it with my hardware, otherwise not. I think should be good to have a flatpak, snap or an appimage of that at minimum. pip could be good for develop, but is not ok release an app to be installed that way... Also i see it have undervolt as a dependency and i currently used intel-undervolt, probably is a good idea to also support it.
Anyway thanks both for the suggestion and the work done.
@snowyoneill This is not available on newer kernels: https://github.com/snowyoneill/Linux-PredatorSense/blob/master/ecwrite.py#L1
Please see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1943318
Or this proposed workaround, that use a kernel module to recover the funtionality: https://github.com/YoyPa/isw/issues/265#issue-1419231642
So, your program don't work anymore as is. Have a good day.
@lestcape what distro are you running? You can enable it with sudo modprobe ec_sys write_support=1. You will need to add ec_sys.write_support=1 to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line of grub to enable on reboot.

@snowyoneill I started this issue with all info about my system. As i said the kernel module ec_sys is not present in current kernels. The last present was in Linux Kernel 5.11.2. So not, i cannot do sudo modprobe ec_sys write_support=1, because i get an: modprobe: FATAL: Module ec_sys not found.... Can you please read the links i provide you? Also we are spammed this thread with irrelevant information. I will open an issue in your repository instead.
@lestcape I have already read through those resources as I ran into that error when i tried to update Ubuntu to 22.04. Using the above commands worked to restore access to the EC. As for the other distros i cannot comment as i have not tested them.
