Thanks for your feedback. For the moment I don't really think that your computer will totally work, but it may partially since I added a configuration file.
It seems that the id of your computer is duplicated, so for the moment, after doing the installation of akbl you must do the following hack.
Also, the Alienware 15 R3 has some problems with the colors and you computer may have the same since its an R4. you will find more about that here.
For the moment, the best that you can do is to download and re-install akbl, and check if the configuration that I added works or kinda works.
Don't hesitate to write me your feedback and to continue experimenting with the block testing window. I added a full tutorial at the F.A.Q. > How to use the block testing window.
Regards, -rsm
Hi, I switched distros. I'm using Kubuntu 18.10 now.
It still isn't working. I start akbl and I see the gui but nothing works.
If there's anything I can run to help with this please let me know. I really want this working so I can ditch Windows.
edit: I ran block testing. I press connect and it works! But.. I press "lights off" or "test" and it just.. freezes. Forever.
I confirm bug, tooo. After executing:
akbl --block-testing
And clicking on the "Connect" button, I'm getting following error:

I have the same issue on my alienware
The developer of this software appears to have no interest in adding support for the Alienware 15 R4 so I'm closing this.
@AbsyntheSyne is not because I can not help you that you should hide the information to all the other users. You should learn more about the GNU/Linux community and the free software.
rsm~
What information? We've provided all the info(probably, I'm not sure) to implement support for this device into the software. There's been no response from you or anyone else that codes this software(which I believe is just you) for almost 2 years now.
Hi, I have an Alienware 15 R4 running KDE Neon 18.04 and I'm hoping this might help.
Read in another bug that running
akbl --block-testing
spits out useful info so, here goes. After I click connect:Hope this info helps. Thanks!
