# `asusctl` for ASUS ROG

`asusd` is a utility for Linux to control many aspects of various ASUS laptops
|
|
but can also be used with non-asus laptops with reduced features.
|
|
|
|
## Kernel patches required
|
|
|
|
1. https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/8/20/232
|
|
2. https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/8/18/1022
|
|
|
|
## Goals
|
|
|
|
1. To provide an interface for rootless control of some system functions most users wish to control such as fan speeds, keyboard LEDs, graphics modes.
|
|
2. Enable third-party apps to use the above with dbus methods
|
|
3. To make the above as easy as possible for new users
|
|
4. Respect the users resources: be small, light, and fast
|
|
|
|
Point 3 means that the list of supported distros is very narrow - fedora is explicitly
|
|
supported, while Ubuntu and openSUSE are level-2 support. All other distros are *not*
|
|
supported (while asusd might still run fine on them). For best support use fedora 32+ Workstation.
|
|
|
|
Point 4? asusd currently uses a tiny fraction of cpu time, and less than 1Mb of ram, the way
|
|
a system-level daemon should.
|
|
|
|
**NOTICE:**
|
|
|
|
Various patches are required for keyboard support. See [this post](https://asus-linux.org/blog/updates-2021-05-06/) for details on status and which kernels will have which patches.

## SUPPORTED LAPTOPS
|
|
|
|
Most ASUS gaming laptops that have a USB keyboard. If `lsusb` shows something similar
|
|
to this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0b05:1866 ASUSTek Computer, Inc. N-KEY Device
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
then it may work without tweaks. Technically all other functions except the LED
|
|
and AniMe parts should work regardless of your latop make. Eventually this project
|
|
will probably suffer another rename once it becomes generic enough to do so.
|
|
|
|
## Implemented
|
|
|
|
- [X] System daemon
|
|
- [X] User notifications daemon
|
|
- [X] Setting/modifying built-in LED modes
|
|
- [X] Per-key LED setting
|
|
- [X] Fancy LED modes (See examples) (currently being reworked)
|
|
- [X] Saving settings for reload
|
|
- [X] AniMatrix display on G14 models that include it
|
|
- [X] Set battery charge limit (with kernel supporting this)
|
|
- [X] Fan curve control on G14 + G15. Requires kernel patch (should reach 5.15 kernel)
|
|
- [X] Toggle bios setting for boot/POST sound
|
|
- [X] Toggle bios setting for "dedicated gfx" mode on supported laptops (g-sync)
|

# BUILDING
|
|
|
|
Requirements are rust >= 1.47 installed from rustup.io if the distro provided version is too old, and `make`.
|
|
|
|
**Ubuntu:** `apt install libclang-dev libudev-dev`
|
|
|
|
**fedora:** `dnf install clang-devel systemd-devel`
|
|
|
|
## Installing
|
|
|
|
Download repositories are available [here](https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/luke_nukem:/asus/) for the latest versions of Fedora, Ubuntu, and openSUSE.
|
|
|
|
### Ubuntu
|
|
|
|
sudo su -c "echo 'deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/luke_nukem:/asus/xUbuntu_21.04/ /' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/luke_nukem.list"
|
|
curl -fsSL https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/luke_nukem:/asus/xUbuntu_21.04/Release.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/home_luke_nukem.gpg > /dev/null
|
|
sudo apt-get update
|
|
sudo apt-get install asusctl dkms-hid-asus-rog
|
|
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Run `make` then `sudo make install` then reboot.
|
|
|
|
The default init method is to use the udev rule, this ensures that the service is
|
|
started when the device is initialised and ready.
|
|
|
|
If you are upgrading from a previous installed version, you will need to restart the service or reboot.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl restart asusd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You may also need to activate the service for debian install. If running Pop!_OS, I suggest disabling `system76-power` gnome-shell extension and systemd service.
|
|
|
|
## Uninstalling
|
|
|
|
Run `sudo make uninstall` in the source repo, and remove `/etc/asusd/`.
