Have you tried using the existent configurations? There seem to be many compatible configurations like the Alienware M15, Alienware M15 R2, etc...
Best regards, rsm~

Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, I'm no longer using Alienware, so I will close this issue.

I tested on my Alienware M15 R2 with different configurations, including the "Alienware M15 R2". It doesn't work. Issue can be re-opened.

What do you mean by “it doesn’t work” ? Have you tried the block testing window?
It may be an USB / protocol problem.

But what happens when you try to use the --block-testing ? This one will really tell us the truth.
Also, I have just committed the removal of an old USB patch. In my computer with Debian is causing problems, so maybe in yours too.

7 months ago @Zeecka,
It is very hard to debug without the hardware, but anyways I have pushed some fixes to the block testing window. If we make it work, we won.
I may suggest you to try to use the block testing window, and in case of USB problems, use the LD_PRELOAD with the one that is packaged with AKBL, or with the ones of your system.
Note: It is un-useful to try to launch other commands beside the block testing window. For example, you're launching the GUI, and you're having a Pyro error. That will not help us !

Ok, so for me you should not use LD_PRELOAD the USB modules seems to work better without. I have pushed some new, code, can you please tell me what happens after:
If the connection is done, you should be able to access the AKBL tab !

7 months ago I cannot enter ID Vendor / Product in hexadecimal anymore (I had to bypass with decimal int).
Once bypassed, I got the same issue... I think it's related to libusb.

7 months ago @Zeecka ,
I fixed the HEX ID error, but sadly we will get stuck with the usb.core.USBError: [Errno 2] Entity not found. If you really want to make it work, you may check on internet what can cause this error, and try the solutions with your hardware.
Maybe using the USB lib directly from the python command line can be helpful. The USB is being blocked from the very first connection.
Best regards, rsm~
thank you.
