Predator PH315-54

[krishnan-techconative]

Hi,

It would be great if you could enable this feature of this model as well Acer Predator PH315-54, I see it is not in the Compablity model list also it didn't work and there was no error while installing or running /facer_rgb.py -m 3 -s 5 -b 100.

I m using the ubuntu 22.04 version

@krishnan-techconative i have the same model and its working for me. Make sure to log into Windows and play with Predator Sense in order to reset the registers. Also see https://github.com/JafarAkhondali/acer-predator-turbo-and-rgb-keyboard-linux-module/issues/32

Did you try to disable secure boot in BIOS? It seems it is enabled in your case.

@krishnan-techconative - try disabling apparmor temporarily: sudo systemctl disable apparmor

Hi, It appears that this module is working as intended on PH315-54 according to #73. Hence, I am closing this issue.

Feel free to reopen if you face further problems.
