The webcam continues forgetting the configuration

[elegos]

Describe the bug I've got an IR webcam connected to the computer via a KVM. I've noticed that pretty much every time I restart the computer, the IR emitter doesn't emit light. If I configure it again via sudo linux-enable-ir-emitter configure -m it works again, until the next restart (or two). I've noticed that in /etc/linux-enable-ir-emitter I have different configuration files, even if the webcam is one.

I'm in a dual-boot system (Windows / Linux)

  /etc/linux-enable-ir-emitter                                                                                                            at  13:00:23

How to reproduce

• (possibly?) use a KVM
• Configure the emitter manually (the automatic configuration fails to let the emitter work correctly)
• The emitter works correctly
• Restart the computer (once or twice, or just start another OS and turn back to Linux)

Additional info

• Computer (or camera) model: Nexight INC NexiGo HelloCam N930W Camera
• Linux distribution: Fedora Linux 40 (KDE flavour)
• Version of linux-enable-ir-emitter: Command fails (too few arguments), though I've downloaded and installed the latest version available as of 2nd of September, 2024
