2 years ago When you ran the command on step 3, it should have produced several lines of output:
if it didn't, may I ask which recovery image did you download?

2 years ago if that is the output you are getting, you should be seeing the loop devices in /dev/mapper now.

2 years ago Right you are. So I was able to continue all the way to step 7. (add the ucm2 profile) and get this error output:

2 years ago you are correct, that package doesn't exists in my machine either. Try doing that step only installing the pixelbook-alsa-ucm package then reboot and see if sound works.
AgentCochese
commented
2 years ago Ok, so in an attempt to resolve this, I split the commands into:
sudo dnf -y install pixelbook-alsa-ucm
This one worked.
sudo dnf -y install pixelbook-acpi
This one did not.
Regardless, I appear to have sound! I rebooted using REFRESH/POWER and it is working.
The remaining issues for me are the keyboard backlight (I can't seem to figure out how to set this hotkey) and also the backlight/display flickers unless I turn it all the way up. Is there a fix for that?
One more big thanks for all of your original work on this! I have spent a few weeks tinkering with this and you brought new life to my Pixelbook!

2 years ago My bad, I'm not the developer of this repo. I'm just another beneficiary of it like yourself. Have you tried the ansible script in the repo? It automates all this.

oh lol, well even more thanks your way since this really ain't your problem :dancers:
You know, that script was a disaster for me using the Ubuntu variant, so I didn't even try it lol. Might as well as I'm almost there manually!

Well, the install for the script worked but when I attempt to run it:
[umbrella@umbrella-eve Downloads]$ ansible-playbook -K playbook.yml BECOME password: [WARNING]: provided hosts list is empty, only localhost is available.

The error appears to be in '/home/umbrella/Downloads/playbook.yml': line 28, column 66, but may be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

^ hereWe could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with unbalanced quotes. If starting a value with a quote, make sure the line ends with the same set of quotes. For instance this arbitrary example:

2 years ago hmm, I'm looking at the playbook.yml file (https://github.com/jmontleon/pixelbook-fedora/blob/main/ansible/playbook.yml) file and I don't see the line you mentioned anywhere.
Disregard the above. Did you download the playbook.yml file or copy/pasted it? I wonder if something didn't copy correctly.
AgentCochese
commented
2 years ago I downloaded it to Downloads. Copy/paste is above my paygrade and I'd guarantee screwing it up.
Even if this script doesn't run, I'm good to go. Last thing is the keyboard backlight. I can't figure that one out for the life of me:
JHBoricua
commented
2 years ago That file doesn't exists for me and I do have the pixelbook-scripts package installed. What is it supposed to do?
AgentCochese
commented
2 years ago It is supposed to allow the OEM keyboard backlight to function. It currently does not. That is really the last piece of the puzzle for me.
JHBoricua
commented
2 years ago Ok, judging by the ansible script, the pixelbook-keyboard-backlight piece is now handled by systemd but running in the user scope. So try this command as a regular user, not sudo:
systemctl --user enable --now pixelbook-keyboard-backlight
after that, CTRL-SPACE will control the backlight.

Thanks a bunch for all of the help! I can see my keys!!!! My audio works! I disabled the auto brightness and the flicker is gone in the screen. I think this is the happiest I've been all week lol.
Cheers, good Sir!

2 years ago @JHBoricua thank you for your help. I completely missed this conversation.
@AgentCochese are you still having any issues? If not I'll close this. Apologies for not seeing the conversation.
FWIW the packages pixelbook-* packages are available from a copr repo enabled with dnf copr enable jmontleon/pixelbook
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jmontleon/pixelbook/monitor/
That's done in the ansible playbook here: https://github.com/jmontleon/pixelbook-fedora/blob/main/ansible/playbook.yml#L25-L30

commented
2 years ago Jason, I'm all set now. No worries about missing it, I ended up working it all out. Sound and keyboard backlight work, everything is solid! I tried a ton of other distros and they were all missing sound and KB backlighting. This was the fix I needed! Appreciate you both!
I am getting hung up on step 4, and I've tried everything I could think of, including running it from /dev and I get this output:
$ sudo mount -o ro /dev/mapper/loop0p3 /mnt mount: /mnt: special device /dev/mapper/loop0p3 does not exist. dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
Thoughts on what I'm screwing up?
