It recommends DKMS, however running
which dkms returns that there is no DKMS. Trying to install kernel-devel says that it's already installed. Trying the "classic" installation without DKMS.
Having read more on DKMS I'm not so sure installing it directly will work. Holding off until i find some more answersSolution
I have been informed that this will not work at all. Sad
Can you not set them manually with the classes under that part? As I read it these are in the in kernel module
I think /sys is also read only
charge_control_start_thresholdis not present and while it looks like i can put a file in there by that name i don't know if that would do anythingYeah if there's no value, it isn't settable afaik. Wonder if the module isn't loaded for some reason, or I'm just misreading what is supported in the kernel.
modinfo tells me it is in the kernel. Maybe someone who actually knows their stuff comes in to help :/
Well the kernel needs to know how to control that for each machine, and if it's not quite sure what to do with my hardware (which seems like it's very proprietary compared to other gaming laptops) it'll just not do it
There is no such thing as truly universal in computers
Well why don't they make a standard to standardise the other standards 😉
Do i even need to say the line
