asusctl: Unknown interface 'org.asuslinux.Platform, possibly mismatching version of asusd service

TheGoudaMan commented 4 months ago

Describe the bug

After installing asusctl in systemPackages with unstable (v6.0.9) and enabling asusd service on my ROG Zephyrus G16 GU605MI, following error occurs upon running asusctl:

thread 'main' panicked at asusctl/src/main.rs:61:54:
called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: MethodError(OwnedErrorName("org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownInterface"),
Some("Unknown interface 'org.asuslinux.Platform'"), 
Msg { type: Error, serial: 9, sender: UniqueName(":1.159"), reply-serial: 5, body: Signature("s"), fds: [] })
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
Aborted (core dumped)

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Add systemctl unstable to systemPackages
enable services.asusd.enable, services.asusd.enableUserService
rebuild, reboot - start asusd
run asusctl - error occurs

Expected behavior

asusctl working properly

Additional context

If I'm not mistaken, it seems to me it has to deal with asusd service version. When I run "systemctl status asusd" I get following output:

asusd.service - ASUS Notebook Control
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/asusd.service; linked; preset: enable>

In control group it relies on asusctl-4.7.1 - which seems incorrect and very old version. When I check version of asusctl and asusd package that comes with it I get:

 ls -l $(which asusctl)
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 69 Dec 31  1969 /run/current-system/sw/bin/asusctl -> /nix/store/j9xl40s15q7lhx1kv8yd2f77b9j20046-asusctl-6.0.9/bin/asusctl

ls -l $(which asusd)
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 67 Dec 31  1969 /run/current-system/sw/bin/asusd -> /nix/store/j9xl40s15q7lhx1kv8yd2f77b9j20046-asusctl-6.0.9/bin/asusd

Which shows v6.0.9 and looks correct. Without enabling asusd service asusctl won't work, so I tried to fix it multiple times by tweaking asusd service and failed (most likely due to lack of experience), trying stuff like this: https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/unstable/#sec-replace-modules

Overall, this version mismatch behavior seems wrong unless I'm not aware of something. Is there something I can do to resolve this? Thanks.

Is there something I can do to fix it? Thanks in advance.

You need to set services.asusd.package = pkgsUnstable.asusctl or something like that.

I got this issue resolved - apparently channel version 24.05 got released just after a day I installed nixos, which was unexpected, and system was using asusd from 23.11 channel which didn't had a "package" attribute and it got me really confused.

If by chance someone facing same issue I described above - make sure you're using at least channel v24.05
