RGB keyboard works? No

It worked for a few days but then the RGB stopped. Tried reinstalling it but it doesn't mount as /dev/acer-gkbbl-0, instalation also doesn't show any errors

@KaiserGabo Mine (product name: Predator PH315-53) stopped working this week, when I tired to control the RGB keyboard, i encountered the error

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/dev/acer-gkbbl-0'

Is this the same situation that you met?

The RGB GUI says /dev/acer-gkbbl-0is not even mounted and needs to be installed. Idk what's happening.

Edit: This is what Predator Sense GUI says: ERROR: RGB device /dev/acer-gkbbl-0 not found ERROR: Static RGB device /dev/acer-gkbbl-static-0 not found

By any chances, did upgrade the kernel recently? Maybe the new version is not compatible?

Just downgraded to the oldest package I have in cache (haven't cleared the pkg cache at all since installing the OS), reinstalled from both source and the Arch Linux Repo, still nothing

Update: Just reinstalled arch linux all together. I'm on kernel 6.7.0-zen3-1-zen and installed the package from pacman. It's working now. Idk what may have broke last time because I'm pretty sure I updated the kernel once and didn't broke the RGB, rolling back into the same kernel also didn't fix anything. For now I'm not updating the kernel to see if one of the packages I usually install does the magic trick.

Found the issue, recomplied it. I need to do this everytime though. Can I set up a pacman hook perhaps?
