Rog control center dumps core

[callegar]

After the latest manjaro update, the rog control center (available from extra) dumps core:

Could not get asusd version: MethodError(OwnedErrorName("org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown"), Some("The name is not activatable"), Msg { type: Error, serial: 4294967295, sender: UniqueName("org.freedesktop.DBus"), reply-serial: 12, body: Str, fds: [] })
Is asusd.service running?
thread 'main' panicked at rog-control-center/src/main.rs:63:10:
called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: ()
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
Aborted (core dumped)

The asusd service is alive.

Any clue? Is a broken rog-control-center version being used? Is there a mismatch with asusd?

[callegar]

Looked into it. The version of asusctl (6.1.0) shipped with Manjaro is seriously broken. One should not use it. Version 6.1.7 in the manjaro packages gitlab repo is fine. Please consider shipping the updated version of this package asynchronously from other manjaro updates.

Is there a mismatch with asusd?

It turns out there is. Somehow asusctl 6.1.0-1 got lost in the shuffle.

asusctl / rog-control-center 6.10-2 6.0.12.r2.gc5c4673-2 will be coming along to the stable branch shortly.

Thanks for the quick response!

It is strongly bound to the asus patches we ship in our kernels. So moving newer versions wont work. You can switch to the testing branch.

I’ve replaced 6.1.0-2 with 6.0.12.r2.gc5c4673-2 in the stable branch.
