CoolerControl isn't working

I decided to make a separate thread for it. The GUI isn't working and it's just showing me an all grey screen. Already did the sudo enable and still the GUI won't appear. How do I fix this?

Makes sense. That thread had been going for a day or two. Have you tried starting it's service systemctl start coolercontrold.service? after you enabled it

Yup.

So even after starting the service, could you please immediately look at the log with journalctl -n 35 --no-pager it might show you your error message after starting the service

Doesn't really show an error.

This is after running the enable.

That output was useful. try launch the app with WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 coolercontrol you can also try and open the control panel by using this url http://localhost:11987/

How do I launch the app with that? Also this is what it looks like.

yeah the app is essentially just a electron app that points to localhost:11987 on your machine, so you might be able to configure the app that way

if you put this in the terminal and launch, it might work WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 coolercontrol also you can probably use this to see the actual error message journalctl -n 35 --no-pager It's probably trying to save the profile somewhere that it cannot write to or something

Ugh.. pretty buggy. I'll save this information for better troubleshooting in the future.

In Linux some software is amazing.... some is not Have you been able to game a bit at least?
Snowstorm Nightingale
Snowstorm Nightingaleβ€’2mo ago
Yes I have. With Helldivers. And FFXIV. I can tell. There are apps that have given me issues. Also, how do I wake my PC from sleep? I left it for like 15 minutes and it won't turn on. I had to turn sleep off. Lol.

My laptop doesn't sleep when I'm on Wayland but it's fine when I use X11.
Snowstorm Nightingale
Snowstorm Nightingaleβ€’2mo ago
Yeah, how do I turn it on? lol.

Oh to wake from sleep you usually just tap the power button. Same as Windows. That doesn't always work though if it something crashes while going into sleep mode
Snowstorm Nightingale
Snowstorm Nightingaleβ€’2mo ago
Yeah.. I'll just turn sleep off then. I did that power button tapping and nothing showed up. I just need the screen off anyways.

Then it probably crashed during sleep. This laptop used to do that when I was running PopOS. Sometimes a better solution πŸ™‚

I guess Linux is unstable that way. Ok. Good enough. Another thing I noticed, not all games run above 60fps with vsync on. I don't know why. My RR is 165 and Helldivers run it at 60fps with vsync on. I had to turn it off to get higher fps. In other games, the same thing. FFXIV, runs 60fps with vsync on.

Is your refresh rate set to 60fps in the display config tool? If so try increase it here and see

Nope. It's set to 165. And to be fair... I'm also using dual display. Not 1. My other display is 1080p@60 My main display is 2k@165 My main display target for Helldivers is my primary display (2k) Same with FFXIV. And all other games. Even chess. Don't ask lol.

Lets try and unplug the 1080p60 display and see if the issue still persists
Snowstorm Nightingale
Snowstorm Nightingaleβ€’2mo ago
Hmm... Will do... Later. Ok so... I can confirm that removing the 1080p screen fixes the issue.
