I've been using System76's recently revamped Lemur laptop for more than a month now. I am happy to report that yes, it is rather nice to not ever have to think about drivers or hardware at all. Many System76 laptops are customizable, allowing users to pay for the features they care about and save money on the rest. System76 laptops are thin, rectangular devices. They include a keyboard, trackpad, and fold-down display. They are black and/or silver in color. System76 laptops have the company logo on the back of the device’s encasing. System76-acpi-dkms (optional) – Provides the system76acpi in-tree driver; system76-dkms (system76-dkms-git) (optional) – Control hotkeys and fan on certain System76 laptops; system76-io-dkms (system76-io-dkms-git) (optional) – Enable System76 I/O daughterboard; system76-oled (optional) – Control brightness on OLED displays. After the System76 Driver is installed and the EFI partition has been mounted using the above commands, you can use the above instructions to update the firmware normally. Firmware Notifications for Laptops If you’re receiving the firmware update notification but there are no updates available, then your system’s Intel ME may be turned on.

The patches should be in prepare() and and build() should look like the following. See Python package guidelines

The Cleanup should look like the following, see Python package guidelines.

On the System76 Lemur Pro there are audio issues when using the headphone jack. System76 support traced the problem to this package not applying the combo jack change. alsa-info.sh retrieved the following information: http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=e87fd71540d6e9e977ac9471b439a8dfa9a5ab4b.

Thank you! It is much clearer now!

Great that firmware-manager stopped being a requirement too! <3

electrickite commented on 2020-04-06 14:53

@Mange This is the same approach the package takes to the network manager restart script. Since the restarts/reloads are not needed by all users, the scripts are installed but not enabled by default. A note about creating the symlink is included in the package post-install message. After installing 20.04.3-1, you can run the following to enable the thunderbolt reload script:

$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/system76-driver/system76-thunderbolt-reload /lib/systemd/system-sleep/system76-thunderbolt-reload

@electrickite Ah, thank you.

I expected it to be installed automatically like the other files and scripts. Will that be added?

electrickite commented on 2020-04-06 11:56

@Mange Version 20.04.3-1 includes the Thunderbolt reload script. It is installed to /usr/lib/system76-driver/system76-thunderbolt-reload and can be symlinked into /lib/systemd/system-sleep/ to activate.

Mange commented on 2020-04-05 19:29

Seems like the files from this commit needs to be added to the install procedure. The file was not installed for me and there's no reference to it in the latest PKGBUILD.

File: system76-thunderbolt-reload

Any way I can help with this?

I'm unable to install this package on Manjaro Gnome. When I try to install it, I'm not receiving any feedback.. this message just loops endlessly:

Updated to version 18.04.27. @rko Thanks for the note about the patch files: they are now independent of the python version.

Arch recently updated to Python 3.7, so the patches need to be fixed. It also might be a good idea to explicitly require Python 3.7 so that the issue is caught when things are upgraded to 3.8 in the future.
