Has anyone gotten Corectrl to work on Arch Linux?
Yes. The installation was like any other AUR package. No problems here.
I installed the git version -> yay -S corectrl-git
How start CoreCtrl on startup?
How do I do the CoreCTRL instructions on Manjaro?
A little help for a newbie with CoreCtrl
Hello everyone,
Yesterday I've tried installing corectrl from the AUR but, when I tried to run it, I get the following error:
[09-06-20 21:31:00.457][W] No translation found for locale en_US [09-06-20 21:31:00.457][W] Using en_EN translation. [09-06-20 21:31:00.584][W] Cannot start helper [09-06-20 21:31:00.584][W] Initialization failed [09-06-20 21:31:00.584][W] Exiting...
What should I do? My machine's language was always set to en_US; I installed corectrl with yay -Sy corectrl (I also tried corectrl-git, still didn't work), and I also installed the optional dependencies, with no luck whatsoever.
cat /tmp/CoreCtrl.log:

I've also found this issue on upstream's gitlab: https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl/-/issues/89
My setup:
Arch Linux
WM: i3wm (no DEs installed)
Display Manager: LightDM
Display server: X11
I've checked Polkit and it runs just fine. I also tried installing the qt5 package group, but that did nothing to fix the issue.
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!
EDIT: fixed by running corectrl with sudo
So I'm using Corectrl mainly as fancontrol and not for anything fancy as overclocking. But I can't find a way to start the program to let it run in the background. I'm using arch together with i3 wm. now everytime when I startup my system I have to open a command prompt enter: sudo corectrl (Because it doesn't start through dmenu) and then I hide the terminal together with the gui on my last tab ^^"
I literally just switched over to a Manjaro KDE build yesterday. I've dabbled in the past with Linux but only for basic tasks, never for gaming and the like. I heard it was finally prepped for gaming and so far so good but one thing was missing. I missed my Adrenaline drivers and software, cure Corectrl, even the UI is reminiscent but there's one issue.
I have a Vega 56 GPU and a 3700x cpu and while I've got basic functions like fan curve etc on the GPU I don't have voltage regulation etc and my GPU shows up as a generic. Is there any way for me to change this and get full access?
I hear it's possible but the explanations I see when searching turn up mostly guides that assume you know how to do what they're explaining. Can anybody put it simply?
