Using OpenDeck in headless mode

Hi, I started configuring OpenDeck with a Raspberry Pi so I can use it to control the Zynthian software. The distribution is based on Debian Bookworm. What works: launching OpenDeck when running in GUI mode, via VNC. This allows me to configure my StreamDeck and launch things. ...

Understood, I’ll try it with the dummy approach.

Error message everytime I try to install opendeck via AUR package.

Hello, I wanted to know why I keep getting an error every time I try to install opendeck? I have cachyos and when I used Sudo paru -S opendeck I just end up with an error I get "error cannot install AUR packages as root"...
Solution:
Not an Opendeck issue, but paru is supposed to be run without root. (As all AUR Helpers normally)

Some apps from Elgato Marketplace gives this error when trying to install plugins.

It seems some of the plugins have changed how the manifest's are structured maybe, is there a work around somewhere for this?
Solution:
as of right now yes. But If I remember correctly, Q1 next year, everything will be starting to be drmed

Opendeck not detecting Mirabox 293

Hi, I installed Opendeck to use my Mirabox 293, but it doesn't get detected, I have the plugin installed.
Solution:
@ElAlfaLaBestia All mirabox issues should be in #mirabox-ajazz-unofficial. I don't think the 293 is supported yet, only the 293S

Double Tray Icon

I have two Tray Icons with the OpenDeck image (Sometimes the Rustdesk Image). I have installed Rustdesk and OpenDeck and somehow there seems to be a bug somewhere where these two share the same Icon most of the time. The right-Click menu is the one from the respective app tho....
Solution:
maybe I will report it to tray icon lib

High CPU load

I am testing OpenDeck on Linux and I noticed that it is using about 18 % of a CPU core which seems somewhat wasteful. Is that normal? OpenDeck v2.6.0 (bb64d0e) Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS (X11)...

Asking for permissions upon command use

I am using opendeck with StreamDeck Neo and am using Vesktop as my discord client. I am on CachyOS latest patch using Wayland. It seems like OpenDeck will be really cool and helpful, but I'm am having an issue with trying to get hotkeys to work in a way that is convenient. Input simulation doesn't seem to work at all on Wayland. At least I can't get it to work, and my friends who are using the same stuff as me are having the same issue. So we went and found a workaround using a .sh command file with the xdotool command. Since vesktop doesn't have gloabal keybinds yet, I have it save the id of the application I'm on, switch over to vesktop, do the key command, and then go back to the other application. It works well if a little convoluted. But do to the hotkey part, I get the issue in the picture. After I give it permission, the command will work for the next 15 minutes, then will ask for permission again. If anyone knows a way around the asking permission, and a simpler solution, that would be great. Or if someone knows why the input simulation doesn't work. Thank you. (Also tried ydotool for the key command, but that didn't work either. Here is the .sh file for muting: #!/bin/bash # Save currently active window...

Grouping actions in folders

Hey all, I just started using Opendeck on Linux and try to rebuild my original button layout. But now I came across the problem that I don't know how to group actions in folders like in the Elgato App. Am I to stupid or is this just not possible in Opendeck?
Solution:
There is no folder in SD way. We recommend to use a profile and a switch profile Button for that. If needed, you can use an this second profile the multiaction button and add a switch profile button at the end of every button to switch back.

SD+ stays blakc after PC wakes from sleep

When my PC goes to slepp mode, after a while my SDs turn off. When I wake the Computer, my SDXL turns back on but the SD+ stays blac. The buttons are still working tho. This state doesn't change until I restart OpenDeck....

Input Simulation (Bazzite-KDE Plasma 6-Wayland-RPM)

Yet another IS post 🫶 I am currently trying to get [k(Alt,p),k(F12,p),k(F12,r),k(Alt,r)] to run. I've tested F12 in browser as inspect element, [k(F12,p),k(F12,r)] works, k(F12,c) does not. Globally F12 doesn't work - for example if I hold Alt manually then use my F12 button on opendeck does not trigger my gpu screen recorder hotkey however [k(Alt,p),k(Alt,r)] will trigger when testing by itself on my browser. Looking at Enigo github could I be missing dependencies or permissions? I ran their "example" code as well, Everything worked including ctrl+a select all....

Open minimized at startup

Hey! I’m using CachyOS with Hyprland. Is there a way to have an app start at login but stay minimized instead of opening up fully?
Solution:
you can use the option in Opendeck or start it with the argument --hide

Minimize/Maximize/Close buttons suddenly non-interactable (Bazzite)

No known changes made, was working fine until it wasn't.
Solution:
I don't bother with this kind of thing because god knows how far up the chain these are - it could be in Tauri, or Wry, or Tao, or Winit, or Rust bindings to Gtk, or Gtk, or KDE
