Charge Indication not working

[Momolem]

Hi,

I am facing the problem, that the charging level is not showing :/

My system: Fedora Workstation 38 (Gnome 44)

headsetcontroll is installed:

The command is working fine:

And I have set the correct command in the extension settings:

And I added the udev rules as far as I know

Does anyone have an idea why it is not working?

[ChrisLauinger77]

can you post a screenshot of the quicksettings control ?

one way to find out whats going on is to enable logging in settings and check the output of

journalctl -f -o cat

Afterwards

[Momolem]

Wow you answered quick :) Thank you!

the command you mentioned outputs this:

but I still cannot see the percentage of my headset

it looks like the capabilities are not correctly detected ...

here is how it looks for me:

as you can see the capabilities are different in your case. (I expect different ones - and i have the same headset as you have btw - arctis 7)
Maybe the version from headsetcontrol you use is too old ? (there is no way to check the binaries version IMHO)
I use the one from GITHUB and referenced in my README.md and compile myself.
Maybe you try also to compile yourself OR the maintainer of headsetcontrol binary why the output differs from me to you ...

[ChrisLauinger77]

I checked the GIT repo of headsetcontrol binary - he changed the capabilities texts in Nov 2021 over this commit:
Sapd/HeadsetControl@f1b4562
It looks like you use a VERY OLD version of headsetcontrol and need to update !

[Momolem]

That could be it :/ I installed it via the package manager... maybe i should build the newest version by myself
thanks for your help

[ChrisLauinger77]

Intresting - I did not know that fedora provides a package.
He has instructions how to compile it for fedora though. Maybe you wanna ask the fedora guys to update the package.
I update my documentation.

[Momolem]

It looks like version 2.6.1 is scheduled for the next fedora version! Thanks again! Currently it is Version 2.4-5

[ChrisLauinger77]

Welcome - hope it works now for you as well ..
V 2.4 is from May 13, 2021 btw :)
