If the folder /sys/class/leds/asus::screenpad doesn't exist, the module either hasn't been installed correctly or doesn't recognize your device. Did you receive error messages installing the module? What device are you using?
that may be related to #16 , also the current aur package will not correctly fail when dkms fails, so that may also be the cause
hmmm after some more testing, even with #16 resolved and using the script instructions to avoid the broken aur something still is not right. that's odd because #18 reported success on this device, the ux482ea. i'm guessing there must be some sort of kernel difference, I will assume it's the version at fault, but if that fails i'll try to do some further investigation into whether it's a distribution specific patch
edit: eurgh, manjaro doesn't seem to make using anything below 5.10 easy. there may be a delay whie i setup something i'm more comfortable with, such as gentoo for testing, unless you have any ideas
@sophietheopossum did you make any progress? I am now facing the same issue after a recent upgrade
edit: I forgot to mention I was using ubuntu with 5.11 kernel. Tried a full system install but even with kernel 5.8 I still get the error No such file or directory
message. I find it strange that this originally worked great and now not at all.
Good Morning All, Just as a data point, I upgraded my ASUS Zenbook UX581G running Ubuntu 20.10 from kernel 5.8.0.53 to the latest 5.8.0.63 and patched the kernel with dkms and built and installed the module and even after a reboot the /sys/class/leds/asus::screenpad folder is not there.
The lsmod shows the asus-wmi module installed but no folder is created.
I restarted using the older kernel (5.8.0.53) and the folder is created on boot as expected.
I am not sure how to help with troubleshooting the patch, but I would be happy to contribute to the project if someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks
@macbrownzie On UX482 I am using a reinstall script on Ubuntu 20.04. after upgrading the kernel i run: https://gist.github.com/kevinchappell/274ca457fe7a76af36036b967c98f1c3
You can also make a dpkg upgrade hook that calls the script after upgrade
echo 'DPkg::Post-Invoke {"/path/to/reinstall-script.sh";};' | sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/80upgradehook
The problem with the upgrade hook is it runs after every upgrade, whether kernel upgrade was performed or not. It may be possible to add a condition for only kernel upgrade hook.
Good Morning kevinchappell,
Thanks for the suggestion (and script link) for how to automate the build of the dkms module.
I assume the script will re build the module the next time I upgrade. I do't believe this resolves rhe issue with missing file on Ubuntu 20.10 with kernel 5.8.0.63,
Thabks fornyour help,
This is a duplicate of #9 ... I got it working without any issue by installing from yay -S asus-wmi-screenpad-dkms-git
On Manjaro Gnome 22 Linux 5.15 on an Asus UX8402
Hello, I am using Manjaro 21.0 with Kernel 5.12 and I get this error:
cat: '/sys/class/leds/asus::screenpad/brightness': No such file or directory /usr/bin/screenpad: line 5: [: =: unary operator expected /usr/bin/screenpad: line 21: /sys/class/leds/asus::screenpad/brightness: No such file or directory
I tried both your commandlines and AUR package, same result, did I miss anything?
Cheers, Andreas :)
