that part no longer works and please use code blocks when pasting code.

3

Sorry about that! What would be the correct or new approach in this case, I am still very new to nix and learning. Would like to contribute in any way I can!

4

I don’t know. The source code upstream changed and maybe the file was just renamed.

5

Looking through the source it may have been renamed to polychromatic instead of pylib, I will give that a try later

6

Hi it worked by renaming it and compiling, however, I get an error now stating “cannot locate data directory” and to please reinstall the package. One step forward and another sideways, unsure how to proceed from here as I did not see a lot of cases online that ran into this, I tried looking at the package build from the AUR but couldn’t notice anything majorly different.

7

They are looking at some relative paths and hardcoding some. That likely needs to be adjusted.

I had asked on polychromatic and it looked like as you noteded he extracted it from common.py and moved it into paths.py I will try it out and upload a PR if it works! Thanks for the help!
