Arch Linux User Repository

Thank you! It is much clearer now!

Great that firmware-manager stopped being a requirement too! <3

@Mange This is the same approach the package takes to the network manager restart script. Since the restarts/reloads are not needed by all users, the scripts are installed but not enabled by default. A note about creating the symlink is included in the package post-install message. After installing 20.04.3-1, you can run the following to enable the thunderbolt reload script:

$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/system76-driver/system76-thunderbolt-reload /lib/systemd/system-sleep/system76-thunderbolt-reload

@electrickite Ah, thank you.

I expected it to be installed automatically like the other files and scripts. Will that be added?

@Mange Version 20.04.3-1 includes the Thunderbolt reload script. It is installed to /usr/lib/system76-driver/system76-thunderbolt-reload and can be symlinked into /lib/systemd/system-sleep/ to activate.

Seems like the files from this commit needs to be added to the install procedure. The file was not installed for me and there's no reference to it in the latest PKGBUILD.

https://github.com/pop-os/system76-driver/commit/2f183fcc0e0946325bdd84a602042de4c8c5f2aa

File: system76-thunderbolt-reload

Any way I can help with this?

I'm unable to install this package on Manjaro Gnome. When I try to install it, I'm not receiving any feedback.. this message just loops endlessly:

Updated to version 18.04.27. @rko Thanks for the note about the patch files: they are now independent of the python version.

Arch recently updated to Python 3.7, so the patches need to be fixed. It also might be a good idea to explicitly require Python 3.7 so that the issue is caught when things are upgraded to 3.8 in the future.

Turns out my issue had nothing to do with this package. I simply neglected to install headers for my running kernel.

I suppose my comment was misleading. I meant my keyboard backlight keys don't work. The screen backlight worked for me OOTB.
