Bug description

Was going to try and add a new computer to the configuration and send that to you as stated on the faq section on your site but I'm Unable to start up the daemon which makes it to where I cannot start up the program so I receive this error:

ERROR from `/usr/lib/python3.6/AKBL/Engine/Controller.py` on method `__init__`:
The computer is not supported.

The information provided above isn't much however I'm unable to open the program to get all the required info as told. Perhaps there's a work around?

Hi @VampireFox2,

Yep, there's a work around. Here is the detail. I hope that your problem come from a bug of the GUI and not from an incompatibility of your computer. If when listing the usb devices with the lsusb command no Alienware device is shown, it is almost 100% sure that the software will not support your computer.

Let me know if it was useful, Regards

I have been looking for a way to change the colors of the logos' backlights on my Alienware Alpha R1 for a while and was wondering if any progress has been made to allow this yet
