Alienware Aurora R7 - No USB Controller #55

Closed poldon closed 3 years ago

1. Expected behavior.

-Running alienfx should find the Aurora R7.

2. Actual behavior.

You are running alienfx under Python-Version: 2.7.15rc1 (default, Nov 12 2018, 14:31:15) [GCC 7.3.0] ERROR:root:No Alien FX controller, defined by a supported model, found! would you like to perform a zonescan? (y/n):y Performing zonescan... Welcome. This will help you to scan for alienfx-controllers and their lightning zones. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/alienfx", line 11, in load_entry_point('alienfx==2.3.4', 'console_scripts', 'alienfx')() File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/alienfx/ui/console/main.py", line 72, in start File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/alienfx/core/zonescanner.py", line 139, in scan TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

If I run lsusb on the Aurora, it looks like there isn't a USB controller for it:

Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0cf3:e301 Atheros Communications, Inc. Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0764:0501 Cyber Power System, Inc. CP1500 AVR UPS Bus 001 Device 005: ID 04ca:0027 Lite-On Technology Corp. Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

3. Steps to reproduce the problem.

-Run alienfx on an Aurora R7.

4. Specifications like the version of the project, install method, operating system, and hardware.

Hopefully, there's a simple fix, but I just haven't found it yet.

strange, are you sure thet it should be a usb controller? i have the laptop15R4 wich is not supported yet but my controller at least is showing in lsusb... what is your linux version?

I am having the same issue on 19.10 with an Aurora R7.

Currently, I am running a dual boot so I am able to boot into Windows to change the color which persists when I boot into Linux.

I noticed you are running it in python2. This app doesn't support python2 since alienfx version 2.1+ . Try installing/running it with python3.
