On Fedora 35 and Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 GA503Q, I can't get profile-get and profile-set to work, each time it says "Missing arg or command"

$ asusctl profile --profile-get
Warning: Profiles now depend on power-profiles-daemon v0.9+
Warning: Fan-curve support is coming in a 4.1.x release
Missing arg or command

Optional arguments:
  -h, --help         print help message
  -n, --next         toggle to next profile in list
  -l, --list         list available profiles
  -p, --profile-get  get profile
  -P, --profile-set PROFILE-SET
                     set the active profile

Hello. On my asus rogflow x13 performance profiles are not correctly set. When i set silent profile on windows and with AC adapter unplugged, then switch to my archlinux system and turn to the normal setting, system is as slow as on silent profile. Is i tpossible that Windows presets in armoury crate have a priority with the performance settings than the asusd? What you need to get to solve the problem? I can send any additional information if i will know, what you need. And yep, i know that archlinux is not officially supported, but i've compiled asusd from here.

My laptop is a Zephyrus G15 Ryzen 9 5900HS RTX 3070

Available graphics modes are Integrated and Hybrid

In hybrid mode, I can't get games like Minecraft to run on the Nvidia GPU (Checked in game and using nvidia-smi)

I've tried

__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia ftb-app

and adding an nvidia-settings profile and rule, neither of which seem to work :(

Guidance appreciated

Currently windows is required to disable the flashing lights when charging on sleep mode on the ROG ally. Could you enable asusctl to do this?

I would like to help out bringing support for the 2024 G14 model (GA403UI).
I have little experience with Rust, but looking at the code, I think I'll manage.

My first main focus would be to add control for the newly added ledstrip on the back (which replaces the Animatrix if I'm not mistaken).

Looking at the rog-anime code, it seems like you communicate over USB using a specific Asus created protocol?
My hardware coding experiences are pretty rudimentary. Would it be possible to point me in some direction on how one could tackle this problem?
Maybe, the "Anime protocol" can even partly be re-used or act as a starting point.

If anyone else has already been looking into this, please let me know :)

Have a nice day!

Amid the current heatwave here in my country I've been monitoring my temps more closely and with that, I've also noticed that my CPU is boosting now. I don't really know when it started but I remember there was a previous setting through asusctl to disable CPU boosting but it seems to be gone now. Can that be restored easily?

Id like to see a deckyloader plugin for this application. for users running on things like the ROG ally the ability to manage things in the steam interface would be amazing

I tested the program on my Vivobook K6502VU, which also should have many of the functions including MUX switch and battery charging limit. However the program can't work fine here. I am asking whether it is planned to be supported by this program. Or, if it were to be supported, what work should be done? Thanks.

Ive used this asuctl gui before but after update it doesn't run just. i can still change from terminal, but gui doesnt work. Ive tried to run with rog-controll-center but got an error:

Hi,
I use asusctl for configure keyboard light, but when I boot system 2-3 seconds keyboard lighting turn on and off.

OS: Ubuntu
Laptop Asus Tuf

In /etc/asus/anime... I Changed configure but after reboot system configure backs to normal.

( I disabled all switches in settings menu. )

Hello!

I have a laptop Asus ROG Zephyrus m16 (2023) and Ubuntu 22.04.

And I've been using asusctl for 2 years now, and everything has always been built and worked fine, but recently I decided to update asusctl and now I’m getting the following error on the last step of the build (620 of 621):

   Compiling asusctl v6.0.0-alpha1 (/home/darkalert/builds/asusctl/asusctl)

(base) [clifford@archlinux ~]$ asusctl -v
Starting version 6.0.10
asusctl v6.0.10

Distro: Arch Linux
Asusctl version: 4.7.0-RC3

Original Issue:

Sometimes after rebooting my system, the asusd service would automatically stop itself, and i had to manually start the service every time. When attempting to enable the service using systemctl enable asusd, an error was displayed indicating that the unit files lacked installation configuration in the [Install] section.

Explanation:

The missing [Install] section prevented the automatic startup of the asusd service during system boot.

Solution:

Edit the systemd service file located at /usr/lib/systemd/system/asusd.service,
and add the following at the end of the file.

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

OS: Arch
Kernel: 6.3.5-arch1-2-g14
DE: Plasma 5.27.5
Package built with pacman following the Arch Setup Guide

Like the title says the notifications service fails to enable and or start. However from the rog-control-center the notifications work just fine but they disappear before you can read them. Almost instantly. I will set up an issue about the rof-control-center on gitlab probably tomorrow.

Any info I can provide you that can help or if there is something I can do to test let me know.

Thanks for your work, this project is pretty awesome!

I am on manjaro 6.7 I just installed asusctl latest is 5.08. The fan profile page is blank. There is small performance check box at the top but clicking it doesn’t do anything. The curve page is blank and there are no apply, reset to factory boxes at the bottom, the rest of the system settings are working fine

Trying to build and install on popos 22.04 highlighted some extra dependencies that are required. I added them in #22.

Since it's Ubuntu based I'm not sure if the same dependencies apply to the Ubuntu instructions.

Hello,

TL;DR: It's not a bug per se, more an user experience on new releases.

Why there was a switch from egui to slint for rog-control-center? I get that egui is somewhat specific while programming, but it's like whole Rust ecosystem. Slint on the other hand is making build slooow, even with sccache, it's barely readable, things like confirmation of setting change overlays on top of other elements being pain in the ..., it adds only negative experience, and on top of that it's GPL3, which makes me believe it can be somewhat problematic with MPL2 of this project.

So please, please, go back to egui or just take more streamlined approach and pick some GTK/Qt/whatever which will not force me to build entire bible of code just to get small tool up to date. I would rather use gui looking as it came from windows 95 than this, I would pick any web based UI over this.

Everything else is just great, thank you for adding new features!

Before updating to version 6.0.6 on my ROG Strix I was able to change my keyboard brightness by doing asusctl -k low but after last update that command modifies instead the brightness of the lightbar. How can I solve this issue.

The matrix constantly shows the same default gif and I can not change it:

The same gif always appears on boot, wake, idle etc.

asusctl anime image -p /home/luca/Downloads/image.png
Executing this image command seems to work. It does not give me any error message on correct syntax. But the image on the back does not change.

asusctl anime --clear
Trying to clear the matrix also does not work. It only stops if I actually disable it completely.

I checked the configuration file /etc/asusd/anime.ron and the gif is not set in boot, wake or shutdown (The default sonic files are set there). I also can not find it in the default matrix directory (/usr/share/asusd/anime/).

I am running pop os on a GA402RJ (Zephyrus G14 2022) and used an older version for about a year without problems. Recently I reset my computer and updated to the latest version of asusctl (5.0.10). I set the brightness to 2, enabled the display and animations.

Hello, on M16 2022 machine (12700H, 3060) dGPU always stays active in hybrid, and even integrated mode. To set everything up I followed F36 workstation guide. Machine is running old 302 BIOS.

I attach asusd and superfxd logs, as suggested by krst:
asusd_log.txt
superfxd_log.txt

I'm creating this umbrella issue to discuss all features UX8406-related.

To start, here's a list of known issues:

Keyboard

• The keyboard hotkeys do not work (USB and Bluetooth)
• The keyboard backlight does not work (USB and Bluetooth)
• Attaching or detaching the keyboard results in an unfiltered RFKILL keypress (internal USB only)

Display

• The secondary display remains active when the keyboard is attached (ideally, this would be integrated into i915/KMS rather than work at a desktop environment level)
• An ASUS ScreenPad brightness control is erroneously available
• PSR causes gamma flickering (though this happens in Windows as well)

Power

• The power profiles driver does not work - nothing shows up in sysfs or power-profiles-daemon
• The battery charge limit does not persist when the system is powered off. It does when set from Windows.

i tried to re install the app still nothing, tried to change the ron file but still no change, can someone help me understand why this is happening?

this is what the record for my laptopmodel looks like, dont know if its right or wrong.

my laptop has a aura keyboard with one zone, and a lightbar at the bottom that is split into a left zone left corner, middle, right corner and right zone, i tried updating the ron, but nothing changed

i dont have a picture of the edited record cause i forgot to take it before trying to reinstall but basically i put

Zoned([SingleZone.LightbarRight,LightbarLeft,LightbarRightCorner, LightbarLeftCorner, LightbarRightBottom, LightbarLeftBottom in the advanced section

Definitely not a hardware issue cause it works fine on windows.

Is the MUX switching feature using asusctl bios -D 0 supposed to work on non Asus laptops? The README says features should work on all brands apart from the lights stuff. On my 2023 Lenovo Legion 7i Pro with an RTX 4090, running the above command does nothing, the process doesn't complete and all there is is a blinking terminal cursor on the next line. supergfxctl is installed and both the asusd service and the supergfxd service are running correctly.

system: ROG Zephyrus M16
opensuse tumbleweed

fan curve profile on the rog control center doesnt save the set values of the fan curve. "apply profile" does save the profile, but upon startup, the profile is defaulted and requires changing again. i wanted to change the default values to where i want the edited profile to be but i have had trouble doing so.

Currently, the keyboard lights and matrix lights are ineffective, and the fan will rotate even under no load conditions.
My system version is 6.8.5-arch1-1-g14

Changing the battery charge limit makes my system unable to recover after it's suspended. I can't even access a tty, I've got to shut it down via power button.

Hello,

it looks like asusd service doesn't start by itself on my Asus Zenbook 3504… I fixed it locally by tweaking custom udev rules…

For the recorde, dmidecode says Family: Zenbook.
With the all informations I don't have on Zenbooks support, I'd add a naïve:

ENV{DMI_FAMILY}=="*Zenbook*", GOTO="asusd_start"

I can attest that asusd service works like a charm on my laptop, I use it daily since months, maybe other zenbooks have issues ?

For a detailed info, I attached my dmidecode output: dmidecode.txt
