Add support for Ubuntu 20.04 #22

Closed gmale closed 3 years ago

gmale commented 3 years ago

Running the command:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:duncanthrax/roccat-vulcan

Results in the error:

E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/duncanthrax/roccat-vulcan/ubuntu focal Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.

because explicit support for 20.04 does not appear to have been added to the project. If I get more time, I can try compiling from source but others would benefit from the PPA being updated.

update: I've compiled from source and it runs but does not change the keyboard colors at all. Even though I'm a member of the plugdev group and the device ID is 1e7d:307a as expected.

Using a Vulcan 100 AIMO on Ubuntu 20.04

gmale commented 3 years ago

update: after switching to windows and updating all the drivers for the keyboard and fully setting it up over there, it worked when I came back to Linux (note: I had restarted linux multiple times, previously so it was not a simple issue of failing to reboot). None of the windows settings seemed to carry over but instead of the keyboard having a weird orange and red pattern like it did out-of-the-box, it was now rainbow and when I ran roccat-vulcan it worked for the first time yielding the same behavior in the sample GIF and I was able to customize all the colors.

So this can work on Ubuntu 20.04. The next step is probably to update the PPA.

@duncanthrax thoughts?

tux-rampage commented 3 years ago

You don't need to configure the keyboard on windows. This is an Init-Bug that causes the program to wait forever: tux-rampage/roccat-vulcan@989ccba4fcfe970f552edc7bdae2a74785d06788

Going to prep a PR later.

tux-rampage commented 3 years ago

It seems to be an issue with an outdated firmware of the keyboard. This endless loop is still a bug imho, it should fail after a while.

Aside from the related error mentioned above, the original issue of this ticket still stands. There does not appear to be a "focal" release and the PPA should be updated, since this works on Ubuntu 20.04, when compiled from source.

Hi, I've just bumped the repo with packages for groovy, focal and bionic. Older versions discontinued. Sorry for the delay.

Can confirm: error is now gone. Thanks!
