[Resolved] Problem using RGB app / Fedora 42

Hello!

Please note that this issue has already been resolved. I am just posting the solution here in order to help other people that might run into the same issue.

I was having trouble getting the Slimbook RGB Keyboard control application (https://slimbook.com/en/blog/guides-2/post/slimbook-rgb-keyboard-277) to run on my Slimbook Creative, running fully updated Fedora 42 Workstation. When I clicked the Icon in the Gnome Applications grid, seemingly nothing happened. I was having this issue for a while, then I decided to try installing it again, from scratch.


I removed every installed package from Slimbook, added the repo for Fedora 42 again and followed the instructions for installing the app (it can be found by following the link I mentioned earlier). It did not work.
I then tried to launch the app through terminal, by using the command 'slimbookrgbkeyboard', and ended up with an error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'slimbook'

I saw that the file generating the error was a Python file (/usr/share/slimbookrgbkeyboard/src/slimbookrgbkeyboard.py), so I decided to look for anything python related in the Slimbook repo. I found and installed 'python3-slimbook'.
This got me past this error message, but now it threw another error:

OSError: libslimbook.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Again, I looked through the repo, and found and installed 'libslimbook1'.
Now its working like a charm.

Seems like libslimbook1 and python3-slimbook is either missing in the installation instructions for Fedora 42/Gnome, or it is missing in the dependency list of the package slimbook-rgb-keyboard. 🙂

Made a typo in my reply, and I am not allowed to edit my answer, appearantly, so here is the install command again:

$ sudo dnf install libslimbook1 python3-slimbook

What is the command to install libslimbook1 and python3-slimbook from the repository? 

You first need to add the slimbook repo and refresh dnf:

$ sudo dnf4 config-manager --add-repo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Slimbook/Fedora_42/home:Slimbook.repo
$ sudo dnf update -y --refresh

Then you should be able to install the packages using:

$ sudo dnf install libslimbook1python3-slimbook


Also, is your module loading on the latest kernel version?

I do not know, as I cannot upgrade right now, as it will remove some packages but not install new versions, so I am holding off on upgrading at the moment, but it runs fine on kernel 6.15.10-200.

Hi,
thank you for the reply.

If you have added our repository for Fedora 42, you can also install the following packages:
sudo dnf install slimbook-meta-common slimbook-meta-creative slimbook-meta-gnome

If this was to be added in the install instructions for the RGB application (or if there was a "start with installing these packages" instruction, or if the required packages were marked as dependencies to the RGB application), this problem could probably be avoided in the future :)

Good morning,

If you have added our repository for Fedora 42, you can also install the following packages:

sudo dnf install slimbook-meta-common slimbook-meta-creative slimbook-meta-gnome

This will install everything required for your model.

Best regards,
