If the GUI did not open or something seems to not work follow the steps below

• Disable the Secure Boot
• Manually install Python Libraries like
  • sudo pacman -S python3-pip --noconfirm
  • sudo apt-get install python3-tk -y
  • Check whether your Linux Kernal has ec_sys support
    • If no then copy the file from inside the [DOWNLOADED ZIP] modprobe.d and modules-lode.d to [SYSTEM] etc/modprobe.d/ and etc/modules-load.d/ec_sys.conf, then reboot
    • If yes then add ec_sys write_support = 1 line in file /etc/default/grub, save and in terminal run command update-grub then reboot

I need to this on arch. Will update you once have a solution!

[YoCodingMonster]

The file not being able to access is the problem generated when the ec_sys.conf. arch distro has the modprobe.d and modules-lode.d folders.

in arch using the files explorer, open the location with admin privileges. using nautilus file explorer with admin privileges will work everytime! etc/modprobe.d/ec_sys.conf etc/modules-load.d/ec_sys.conf and paste the ec_sys.conf file in the downloaded zip into this folder. and reboot it

Had the same issue on GF65 Thin 10SDR and Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS.

Ran the following commands to create /etc/modules-load.d/ec_sys.conf and /etc/modprobe.d/ec_sys.conf and rebooted as suggested by @YoCodingMonster:

OpenFreezeCenter-main$ sudo -- bash
OpenFreezeCenter-main# cat ./etc/modules-load.d/ec_sys.conf >> /etc/modules-load.d/ec_sys.conf
OpenFreezeCenter-main# cat ./etc/modprobe.d/ec_sys.conf >> /etc/modprobe.d/ec_sys.conf

The issue is resolved. Thanks!

several things here seem out of date. I have the GF65 Thin 10UE with Endeavor which has just been updated.

I get to the EC part in the main guide and cannot get further than the command sudo nohup bin/python3 OFC.py which just says nohup: ignoring input and appending output to 'nohup.out'

The post further up mentions a non-existent zip so that's not helping either. There is no ec_sys.conf in either of the two folders mentioned.
