kbd_backlight missing after update

NAME="Pop!_OS"

VERSION_ID="18.10"

The program was a script of mine.

setcolor(){
    echo setting to $1
    setbrightness 255;
    sudo su -c "echo $1 > /sys/class/leds/system76\:\:kbd_backlight/color_left"
    sudo su -c "echo $1 > /sys/class/leds/system76\:\:kbd_backlight/color_center"
    sudo su -c "echo $1 > /sys/class/leds/system76\:\:kbd_backlight/color_right"
}
setbrightness(){
    sudo su -c "echo $1 > /sys/class/leds/system76\:\:kbd_backlight/brightness"
}

/sys/class/leds/system76:kdb_backlight doesn't exist anymore :C not sure... if the intel one (sys/class/backlight) can set colors.

Did... did Pop!_OS move it??

I don't have color control without that...

Side note, on the Darter Pro, only one of those color_*'s does anything... I was super excited to try it out on a multi-colored pad (still... the laptop rocks...)

The Darter Pro has a color keyboard with only one zone, whereas the Oryx Pro has three zones. So only one color will work. An update to restore the color files is available, please make sure you are up to date.

Have you rebooted since it was installed?
