Help installing Openrazer for Razer Mouse settings

[Cuzzx]

I want to make my Razer mouse do its tricks.

I tried installing RazerGenie from the Discovery store.
When I launch it it complains about OpenRazer not being installed.
I go to OpenRazer website and I try to follow the instructions: https://openrazer.github.io/#download

I put "sudo gpasswd -a $USER plugdev" into Konsole, I input my password, but then it fails on me with "gpasswrd: group 'plugdev' does not exsit in /etc/group" and that's as far as I could get.

Would anyone be able to help me? Thanks!

Install openrazer-meta from the AUR using an AUR helper or by building the PKGBUILD directly.

After the drivers are installed, please restart the computer.

Thanks, I ran all those, but I still get:

"(130)(deck@(((MACHINENAME))) ~)$ gpasswrd: group 'plugdev' does not exsit in /etc/group
bash: gpasswrd:: command not found
(127)(deck@Iconoclast ~)$ "

Exactly where do you get that error?

[MrSandman]

You need to install kernel headers too.


Forget your steps. type in the shell, exactly what I put below.

sudo steamos-readonly disable
sudo btrfs property set -ts / ro false
sudo pacman-key --init
sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux holo
sudo pacman -Syu base-devel git linux-neptune-headers
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/openrazer.git
cd openrazer
makepkg -sri
sudo systemctl --user enable --now openrazer-daemon.service
reboot
sudo steamos-readonly enable
sudo btrfs property set -ts / ro true

[MrSandman]

For me it has worked.

Save these commands, because you will have to run them on every system update.

I've tried twice, I still get the plugdev not existing message...

[Cuzzx]

I get this:

Is the OS unlocked?

I have installed RazerGenie from Discover, Then I ran your script (thank you very much for that!), and when I open RazerGenie it says OpenRazer Daemon is not installed. Any further suggestions?

By the way, I don't seem to get any errors during the srcript operation, the system reboots when it finishes, and when I go back to the Desktop and open RazerGenie, that is when I get told RazerDaemon is not installed.

How do I do that?

Open a terminal window and type passwd , then enter your password twice, this gives you root access, as explained here:

I had to find that for installing something else, as I'm just as linux-green as you my friend, obviously, I can't get OpenRazer working either.

Upon closer inspection, I think it may not be loading the OpenRazer drivers, because I don't believe it sees my Turret keyboard. I did not see the Turret listed in the supported devices, but thought I would try it, and it appears it can't access it, likely due to the wireless capabilities. Real shame, the Turret, I believe, is the best keyboard/lapboard in the industry, and believe me I have owned them all. Given I will be using the Deck in docked mode from my couch for the majority of the time (long story, but I cannot go into the room where my main desktop PC is at during the week), and the Deck was the answer to all of my problems, well PC related problems anyhow. I will just continue with the Corsair K63 for now. Thank you again, very much, for your help!!

Every time I run the command you just typed, this is the error I am getting:

(1)(deck@steamdeck openrazer)$ sudo systemctl --user enable --now openrazer-daemon.service
[sudo] password for deck:
Failed to connect to bus: No medium found
