Touchbar: /sys/class/input/*/device/fnmode: No such file or directory

[Rom888]

After upgrading to the latest kernel 6.5.7-t2-jammy, I installed tiny-dfr and restarted ubuntu. The touchbar is working, but if I run:

sudo touchbar

and press '1' I got an error:

$ sudo touchbar
Select Touch Bar mode

0: Only show F1-F12
1: Show media and brightness controls, use the fn key to switch to F1-F12
2: Show F1-F12, use the fn key to switch to media and brightness controls
3: Only show media and brightness controls
4: Only show the escape key
1
Changing default mode ...
bash: line 1: /sys/class/input/*/device/fnmode: No such file or directory

Fix this by running sudo rm /usr/local/bin/touchbar; sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/apple-tb.conf

Aditya, it works now, thank you!

I set up the default touchbar mode. Is there any help on how to use other options? For example, I see the --time option, but I don't see the time on the touchbar.

Can you post a screenshot of your touchbar ?

[AdityaGarg8]

You also can share cat /etc/tiny-dfr.conf

The media controls + apps mode shows time

[AdityaGarg8]

You are using the media controls only mode

[Rom888]

$ cat /etc/tiny-dfr.conf
[ui]
primary_layer = "special"
secondary_layer = "function"
font = "sans-serif"
icon_theme = "tiny-dfr-icons"

[apps]
app_icon_theme = "tiny-dfr-icons"
app1_icon = "app1"
app2_icon = "app2"
app3_icon = "app3"
app4_icon = "app4"

[time]
use_24_hr = 1

[AdityaGarg8]

If you want time, use sudo touchbar --mode and instead of Media controls, choose media controls + apps

[Rom888]

Okay thanks! It works and looks great!

[Rom888]

Is it possible to adjust the light level of the touchbar?

[AdityaGarg8]

Not yet, but I’ll add it to my todo list for this

[Rom888]

Thanks! In the previous version, the touchbar disappeared after some time, is this possible now?

[AdityaGarg8]

Yeah it gets dim after 30 sec, disappears after another 30 sec
