aurora's Introduction

Aurora

Aurora serves as an alternative to Aura Sync for GNU/Linux, offering control over keyboard backlight and charging threshold settings. This utility facilitates configuring battery thresholds and adjusting keyboard backlight color, brightness, and modes. Aurora only targets the ASUS TUF audience, if it worked on any other device, it is just a happy coincidence!.

Aurora provides two modes

Mainline for kernel version 6.1 +
Faustus for kernel version < 6.1

The modes will be auto-selected depending on the kernel version

Installation

Aurora stable/beta comes with an AppImage and a debian release. Find the latest release from here.

Aurora stable versions are also available in Fedora copr buildsystem for x86_64 devices

sudo dnf copr enable legacy07/aurora
sudo dnf install aurora

Mainline Mode

Faustus Mode

Prerequisites

faustus module
If the module is not installed, dkms openssl mokutil git make cmake are required for the module installation

First Run

Aurora will direct you to the installation screen if the prerequisites are not satisfied on your system.

Aurora also provides an option to choose the faustus module repo. If the device is compatible with the module but isn't supported officially, you can create your own fork that adds support to your device (Read the documentation for more information on the process and any potential dangers.) By default, Aurora uses this fork that adds support for "FA706IH"

Secureboot enabled devices need to enroll MOK

aurora's Issues

Stuck on grant access screen. kernel 6.3.8-200

I have installed it using copr on f38 it stucked on the grant access page and nothing happens when i click the button (grant access).

/lib/systemd/system bad permissions

Hi,

It works pretty well. I have installed aurora_3.5.7-stable+1_amd64.deb on Debian 12.2. The laptop is a F15 FX506HC

Every time it starts, just after asking for root credentials, it changes all the file permissions under /lib/systemd/system/ to chmod 647 and folders to chmod 757.

Even while the app is opened I can patch the problem with something as find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; && find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; and it still works, so I don't understand why it need to change ALL those system services permissions. After all it is working as root.

Thank you for your good work!
Best regards
