Build and install failure on Debian 12.7 / Linux `6.1.0-26-amd64`

Hi, thanks for this project! Awesome work and super useful.

I had it installed before, and it worked great, but after updating it seems to have failed.

First of all, I noticed this in the logs of the ugreen-diskiomon service: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'led_ugreen': Exec format error

I took a guess and imagined that it may need to be reinstalled and possibly also rebuilt for the updated kernel version I was running, so I decided to try building it myself.

Unfortunately, it failed as follows:

/tmp/ugreen_leds_controller/kmod$ sudo make
make -C /lib/modules/6.1.0-26-amd64/build M= modules
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-6.1.0-26-amd64'

Frankly, this failure was beyond me at a glance, so I decided to just try reinstalling the .deb from the latest release:

And the log that dpkg/dkms suggests consulting:

I'm not sure if this is a problem with the project or me, but either way, any advice would be appreciated! 🙂

There are some fixes recenetly. Can you try the new packages here?

Thanks for the new release! Cool to see utils packaged as a deb too.

Unfortunately, the dkms install fails in exactly the same way.

How about reinstalling the linux-headers?

apt install --reinstall linux-headers-6.1.0-26-amd64

This fixed it, thank you ❤️
