gltugaeng Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 The main branch of CKB doesn't work with 2.04. You have to build and install the fw2kb branch. Ah that makes sense. Any info on how to uninstall the "master" version of ckb? I ran the quickinstall script on linux in order to install it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you need to uninstall it. Just download the fw2kb branch build it. I'm not sure how to do that in Linux though, I use it in OS X.

As it seems the installer script just copies everything into /usr/bin. the fw2kb version still doesn't work with the k65 rgb rapidfire as it seems. Still says "no devices connected".

Alatriste Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Thanks a lot Slim.Jim. I made the mistake of updating the firmware and everything in OSX stop working. I downgraded to firmware 1.30 and everything is back to work! Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flapwazzle Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Hello, I ran Ubuntu 14.04 before and your (awesome btw!) program worked perfectly fine. Now I upgraded to 16.06. When trying to start via the HUD, the programs tries to start, blinks for a while (<10s) and quits than. When trying to start via terminal i get following message: laurin@YESITSTRUE:~$ sudo ckb-daemon ckb: Corsair RGB driver beta-v0.2.5 [F] ckb-daemon is already running (PID 759). Try `killall ckb-daemon`. [F] (If you're certain the process is dead, delete /dev/input/ckb0/pid and try again) laurin@YESITSTRUE:~$ sudo killall ckb-daemon laurin@YESITSTRUE:~$ laurin@YESITSTRUE:~$ laurin@YESITSTRUE:~$ sudo ckb-daemon ckb: Corsair RGB driver beta-v0.2.5 [i] Root controller ready at /dev/input/ckb0 [i] Connecting Corsair K70 RGB Gaming Keyboard at /dev/input/ckb1 [i] Starting input thread for /dev/input/ckb1 [E] os_usbrecv (via led_keyboard.c:207): Connection timed out [W] _start_dev (device.c:45): Unable to load hardware profile [i] Setup finished for /dev/input/ckb1 ^C [i] Caught signal 2 [i] Disconnecting /dev/input/ckb1 [i] Removed device path /dev/input/ckb1 [i] Closing root controller [i] Removed device path /dev/input/ckb0 Any hints for me? If it matters: The keyboard totally goes black when watching something via VLC player and stays like that after the movie. My system doesn't recognize me pressing buttons than. After re-plugging the LED are coming back and (sometimes) after a while button work again. This isn't such a big problem to me, but when there is a commen solution, I'd be glad! Thanks in advance, Laurin aca Flap I wonder why no one responses, is my question unclear? CKB porgram simply refuses to start, after trying to start, it just disappears.

abiodum Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Hi, I am thinkin about buying a m65 pro rgb, but I am havin second thoughts. I will use this on a 13' retina macbook pro. There is no official software ok. But with this unofficial driver, can I at least define spacebar action to the sniper button? And second question, some people tell that sometimes mouse disconnects or lose the lights until you restart. Have you experienced this issue? I would be grateful if a mac user comment on these?

Arach Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Any chance of sabre support? Even if non-rgb support, just rebinding buttons would be great ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonioV Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 thanks to the people who made linux compatibility posible my k70 rgb and scimitar have basic functions and work all the time, i get some errors about usb hid endpoints at startup and shutdown which i think are related to the corsair products, but as soon as i get to the gnome desktop everything works. the only thing that stop me from switching to linux all the time and ditch windows are the corsair products, i have a scimitar and a k70 rgb and i have a lot of profiles with probably 10 to 40 macros in each profile and sadly the linux driver cant do complicated macros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kira9204 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) A personal thank you to everyone who made the Linux compatibility possible. I bought a K70 RGB today and with the later "fw2kb" branch everything works perfectly! Another personal note to Corsair: Seriously hire this guy.

iLLNESS Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) CKB was working fine for me previously (new k70 out of box with the latest osx binary installed) in OSX... I booted into Windows and updated the firmware (now 2.04) and saved some lighting profiles to the device. Everything is functioning as normal. When I boot back into OSX the keyboard works right up until the CKB software loads up, at which point the keyboard stops working (buttons like the windows key lock work but are registered as `). I can close the CKB app and the keyboard works again but the windows key (as command key) no longer work. Is there any fix for this? UPDATE: scrolled back a bunch and saw the later firmware isn't working with OSX. Downgraded to 1.30 and all is well.

keys Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 K70 RGB - CH9000118-NA ckb driver: 0.2.5 Gentoo Linux/Gigabyte Mobo I'd like to change my colors from red to blue. I launch ckb, and got the message "No devices connected" under the version. Then looked at github and saw the following: Problem: ckb says "No devices connected" or Driver inactive" Solution: Try rebooting the computer and/or reinstalling ckb. Try removing the keyboard and plugging it back in. I did all that to no avail. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcardNP Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) Which part is it that's not running, the GUI or the driver? (hint: $ cat /dev/input/ckb0/pid should tell you if the driver's working or not - if you get "no such file or directory", it's not running) If it's the GUI that doesn't work, try running /bin/ckb from a terminal and see what output it gives you. EDIT: Downgrading to FW 1.30 also fixed my issues. That's unfortunate for my Windows usage of the 'board, but whatever, it's working. Again, thanks a bunch!! First off: huge thank you for all the work you've done supporting the *nix crowd. I don't know if you're still around or if you've passed development, but here goes. I'm a Linux noob, about to take Linux+ (I'm refreshing 4 certs and taking 12 new ones this year) and have somehow never touched it yet. Fresh install of Fedora (4.4.9-300.fc23.x86_64), Gnome 3.18.2. I have a K65 and used the unpack->quickinstall method after pulling deps listed on the github. My keyboard was functioning as a keyboard before (sometimes F-keys and PgUp/PgDn would act funny) but I wanted to see how 'perfectly' I could get things running. This is mostly a learning experience for me--please, put the pitchforks down. The instant I installed CKB I could no longer type. I've tried every combination of reboot/quit ckb/relaunch ckb/reconnect k65 possible. The funny thing is, with the check box to start on boot it will let me log in fine, but as soon as the login is finished, no more typing. I did what you said to in this post and set Permissive, ensured driver was running (PID 900), and got the following output: (note: immediately after, K65 stopped functioning) [wildcardNP@joker ~]$ /bin/ckb libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile I've had this device set up with my own very simple profile on Win7/Win10 for months, is that profile somehow breaking the driver because it's stored in device memory? How can I fix this? Edited June 2, 2016 by wildcardNP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terabyte Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Where could I download an older firmware version? Here all I see is the download for the CUE and the user manual. Old FW Versions are not officially available for download. Some old keyboard/mice FW are available around in the threads on this forum but not all. Your best option would be to contact Corsair support, open a ticket and explain your situation to see if they can provide you an older version.

kchen13 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 K70 RGB user here with latest firmware 2.04. OS X 10.11.5, it works fine if you use the fw2kb branch as posted some pages back. I had to download QT from the provided link. That took forever and the installation folder was +13GB for QT (deleted after I compiled the app). The compiled app is only 27MB. Is there a better way when going with a branch of the master? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yolomac Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) I have been using this on my mac for a few months now. Great software really. I did have one problem in the past where my profile got corrupted and i lost all my macro and lighting settings. I had to locate the profile in the filesystem and delete it and then restart ckb to rebuild the profile. This just happened to me again and for the life of me I cannot find the forum post that mentioned where the profile is located on the mac filesystem, so i have to ask does anyone know the location? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, nevermind. I found the file at ~/Library/Preferences/com.ckb.ckb.plist Edited June 14, 2016 by yolomac Solved my own problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
