nzxt aio

Hi guys i am new to zorin love it was an easy transition to it coming from winBLOWS 10. Still trying to learn how to use terminal and all to accomplish installs of drivers. However I had a difficult time to get corsairs KM RBG to work. KCB-Next was what i needed to work but terminal is a little iffy for me. Anyway i need to get NZXT AIO drivers to work and for some reason its not working with wine/playonlinux. I keep getting errors or crashes. I really dont like wine or POL. Hopefully someone here can help a new member out
Thanks

This guy has written a GUI for GNU/Linux!:

I do have to apologize though I really don't know how to use python so if someone is kind enough to help step by step would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Could you clarify what it is you need step by step? The installation of the GUI that Swarfendor linked to? Python dependencies installation?

Open a terminal (press ctl-alt-T or use the App menu - that Zorin Icon "Start button" and select it from the System List) and copy paste this into it (ignoring the part that says "Code: select all"):

Code:

sudo apt install gir1.2-gtksource-3.0 gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1 python3-gi-cairo python3-pip

These are the dependencies you need for Liquidctl Gkraken.
PIP is a very cool Python installer that allows you to install Python Modules directly from the source, similar to how the APT system works. So, when you type "apt-get" in terminal, you are telling the apt system to get the program. Pip is the same, only it is for Python.
Next thing to do in terminal is to use the PIP installer you just got above:

Code:

pip3 install gkraken

Many programs are not privileged, but ones like Synaptic or Gkraken that can Make Changes To Your Computer are privileged. So, you must run as SuperUser to give them the privileges needed to run. SuperUSer Do (this) is shortened to "sudo."

Code:

sudo gkraken

Better still:

Code:

pkexec gkraken

I got an error trying to do at pip3 install gkraken

Cseiglie, what happens if you enter in terminal:

Code:

sudo apt-get install libcairo2-dev

Code:

sudo apt install libgirepository1.0-dev

Code:

sudo apt update

Code:

sudo apt install python3-pip

those work in terminal now what? should I try the steps prior message?

cseiglie wrote:those work in terminal now what? should I try the steps prior message?

Start with doing this, next:

Code:

pip install --upgrade pip

Then

Code:

sudo apt install gir1.2-gtksource-3.0 gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1 python3-gi-cairo

Just to be sure... I am not sure at which point you got the error.
Then:

Code:

pip3 install gkraken

That should go error free...

EDIT: I forgot, once installed, run this command, too:

Code:

pip3 install -U gkraken

I am not seeing temps and i get access permission thingy and lighting is coming soon?
Am I missing something here

I wonder if you may need to install sensors:

Code:

sudo apt-get install lm-sensors

I wouldn't think so... but...

Gkraken does need to be opened/run with Elevated Privileges, though.

Code:

Running the app
To start the app you have to run the command gkraken in a terminal. The app needs to access the USB interface of the Kranen that, normally,
is not available to unprivileged users.
To allow normal users to access the Kraken's USB interface you can
create a custom udev rule

Udev rule

Automatic way
Once GKraken is installed, the udev rule can be easily crated executing
sudo `which gkraken` --udev-add-rule

Application entry
To add a desktop entry for the application run the following command:
gkraken --application-entry

Manual way
If for some reason the automatic way fails, you can always do it manually by creating a new
file in /lib/udev/rules.d/60-gkraken.rules containing this text:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1e71", ATTRS{idProduct}=="170e", MODE="0666"
After that, run the following commands
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
sudo udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=usb --attr-match=idVendor=1e71 --action=add
If you don't want to create this custom rule you can run gkraken as root
(using sudo) but we advise against this solution.
