No update for devices when a new device is connected
Expected behavior When the daemon and application are running and a new device is connected, the new device should appear in the device list.
The actual behavior When the new device gets connected, it does not appear in the device menu unless you stop then respawn the daemon.
Steps to reproduce
- Open RazerGenie, see list of devices and note new device not present.
- Plug new device in
- If device doesn't show in list, restart the daemon and react to this issue
- if device does show, reply to this issue
Machine/Version Kernel: 5.15.0.89-generic DE: GNOME 3.36.8 Daemon: OpenRazer 3.7.0 RazerGenie version: 1.1.0
Recommendation
When a result from lsusb
returns a new device, check for new devices. This may mean restarting the daemon
Does the daemon/kernel log show the new device is detected? Do you also see the same behavior with polychromatic?
You could also check with python3 -c "from openrazer.client import DeviceManager; a = DeviceManager(); print(a.devices)"
whether openrazer-daemon detects the device.
Any update? Otherwise I'll close this.
Apologies I have not been able to get back to this so quickly. I had actually noticed this behavior with a device that was already known and had it unplugged for a while then reconnected. I just tried replicating the issue and it no longer occurs
