Not shipping udev rules with the applet about matebook-applet HOT 8 CLOSED

@aymanbagabas You must have some idea of what the udev rules for the supported models should look like, don't you?

from matebook-applet.

You could use this rule

SUBSYSTEM=="platform", DRIVER=="huawei-wmi", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/bin/chgrp wheel %S/%p/charge_thresholds", RUN+="/bin/chmod g=u %S/%p/charge_thresholds", RUN+="/bin/chgrp wheel %S/%p/fn_lock_state", RUN+="/bin/chmod g=u %S/%p/fn_lock_state"

%S is the sysfs path and %p is the driver path under sysfs.

Got it working, great job!
I keep getting this error in the applet

from matebook-applet.

I see.. It's getting 0-0 value from the driver, and since on MateBook 13 there's not supposed to be 0-0 (off is 0-100), it interprets is as error. I will fix that. Should be working otherwise, setting various thresholds and such.

Should be fixed now.

The issue itself is fixed in 1.2.0, closing. Feel free to contact me or open a new one if you see strange behaviour.

I just followed the instructions in the readme but when I executed the driver it warned me that the driver was readable but not writeable.

I also had to do some changes to the way I added the group and my user to the group, possibly related as to why it didn't work.

sudo groupadd --system huawei-wmi instead of sudo addgroup --system huawei-wmi

sudo adduser -g YOUR_USERNAME huawei-wmi instead of sudo adduser YOUR_USERNAME huawei-wmi

edit: just wondering if this is normal:

from matebook-applet.

sudo groupadd --system huawei-wmi instead of sudo addgroup --system huawei-wmi

Fedora, right? No simple ways there... ;-)

sudo adduser -g YOUR_USERNAME huawei-wmi

That looks like a big mistake. This command created a new user huawei-wmi and assigned it to group YOUR_USERNAME (instead of huawei-wmi as it would have done by default.

What you should have done was:

usermod -a -G huawei-wmi YOUR_USERNAME

I'll update the readme.

that worked perfectly, thanks!
