I can't seem to be able to reproduce this bug. Would you mind checking if asusctl anime leds -b 255
turns on all leds as intended?
Unfortunately nothing happens. What I can do is to turn on and off the anime with asusctl anime --on
and asusctl anime --off
.
The bios is updated to the newest version. Any other "more to the core" tests I can do?

I am not familiar with the zen
kernel for the g14 as I use the linux-g14
kernel and everything works nominally. Do you have any dkms modules installed which contain asus
in their names, such as asus-rog-nb-wmi-dkms-git
? You'll also want to install acpi_call
.
The list of packages with "asus":
► pacman -Q | grep asus
asus-nb-ctrl-git 2.1.0.r4.gb496139-1
asus-rog-nb-wmi-dkms-git 0.3.0.r1.gd57f785-1
hid-asus-rog-dkms-git 0.6.0.r0.gc7af421-1
and acpi_call:
► pacman -Q | grep acpi
acpi_call 1.2.1-7
As far as I am aware I cannot use linux-g14 from AUR, because it freezes whole computer when I connect usb-c docking station. But I did not try to use the linux-g14
kernel.
I believe the custom kernels we are using contain the necessary drivers already, there should be no need for asus-rog-nb-wmi-dkms-git
or hid-asus-rog-dkms-git
. They can be a source of bugs afaik. Could you also try starting zephyrusblingd
as intended with systemctl --user start zephyrusblingd
and retry everything? Although if asusctl
can't even turn on all the leds at once I really don't know how to solve this.
PS you can try linux-g14
from the g14
repo by asus-linux.org
I just checked with the dkms modules uninstalled. asus-nb-ctrl works as it should, but still anime in the same status.
Nope, still no result

@Baldomo what model do you have?
I have a GA401IV
. I tried replicating whatever you have not working but I just can't on my machine. Honestly I'm at a loss here, sorry.
I encountered an issue (only happened once) where the animation I set in armory crate in windows would carry over to linux and be stuck on the anime matrix. However, rebooting fixed it, and zephyrusbling works as expected now. Perhaps you can go into windows and turn off the anime matrix animation and try again @mszewczyk-ipwt.
Actually, another user on somewhere (I think it was on the asus-nb-ctrl discord server) solved any problems they had with the anime display by just using armory crate for the first time instead of directly trying asusctl or zephyrusbling. I have no idea why it work but it seems armory crate is needed at least once for this exact reason, maybe it initializes some drivers in Windows or whatever.
Is there any way to turn it on using only linux? Because, when I got this laptop, first thing was to get rid of windows and install Arch.
@mszewczyk-ipwt you should try asking on the asus-nb-ctrl Discord server
+1 to @Baldomo.
I had a similar issue and was able to solve it by booting Windows and running Armoury Crate.
For me unfortunately booting to windows hasn't helped. I'm on GA401QM
Hello, The solution for change AniMe Matrix animations in Arch Linux (AUR) does not work. I tried installing this package, and did the following. In the Gnome I ran terminator, in the first terminal tab I launched
zephyrusblingd
.In the next tab I tried the following:
And nothing happened, I only have the generic ROG icon animation. Have I missed something?
P.S. Yes, I have
asusd
service running and I am using linux-zen-g14 kernel version 5.9.9.
