OpenRGB failing to find my RAM
Hello everybody,
I recently installed Bazzite on my PC, and so far I'm having no issues except the current one. I have OpenRGB installed via appimage that ujust downloaded for me, and for most peripherals, it's currently finding the LEDs without issue. Meanwhile, the RAM doesn't appear in OpenRGB in Bazzite, despite showing up in Windows without issue when running as administrator. Unfortunately, running OpenRGB with sudo doesn't help detect the devices either and produces the following errors:
[i2c_smbus_linux] Failed to read i2c device PCI device ID
[i2c_smbus_linux] Failed to read i2c device PCI device ID
[i2c_smbus_linux] Failed to read i2c device PCI device ID
The RAM is Kingston Fury DDR5 RAM.Solution:

For anybody who encounters this issue in the future: I was able to get OpenRGB to recognize my RAM by disabling the spd5118 driver by following the instructions in the 2nd step in the image. Many thanks to Siphoned Anomaly at the OpenRGB discord server for that π

Oh yeah, I should probably mention: The RAM is Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 RGB RAM and my motherboard is a MSI Pro B650-P WiFi
Yknow it can just be, incompatible
Open rgb has a massive list of devices it can mess with, why not check that
I guess but then why is it showing up in windows just fine.
Because windows uses somthing else??? Idk??
OK, thanks for your awesome help π
Check their website youll find the list on there
... aomewhere
