alienfx's Issues
m17x
I'm running the Kali Linux 2.0 (Debian) and I cant get the GUI to run so i can create themes. The CLI works fine, but I have no way to create themes that way. After installing this, all of my lights went off and I have no way to fix it now!
Want to Help Add Support for the Alienware Alpha Model
Hi,
I'm really amazed at all these different projects supporting AlienFx on different models. I wasn't expecting to find anything to replace the Alienware Command Center. So hats off to you guys for developing this. I have an Alienware Alpha R1 along with the Tactx keyboard and mouse that I bought in 2015 and I haven't seen anyone support this model yet. I currently have Fedora 29 on it. I can't stand Windows anymore. I see that this project is written in Python. I'm okay with Python, I'm still learning though. I would like to help out with adding support for this model however way I can do so. I don't know really anything about how the BIOS, the hardware etc. communicates with AlienFx. So if possible could you point me in the right direction for information on this? That would be awesome. Anyways thank you for your time and keep up the good work.
ModuleNotFoundError

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'main'
Request: Include instructions to remove the software
I am new to these experiments with Linux and to python. I installed this for my 15 R2 it is not working as intended. My system is constantly on heat due to some process just to make sure alienfx isn't the thing that's causing it I want to remove it but couldn't find any instructions for it.
Can someone please assist.
17R4 GUI hangs when trying to apply theme CLI ok
1. Expected behavior.
- Apply loaded theme when clicking the ✔️
2. Actual behavior.
- GUI hangs with 'Applying Theme' messge. I've let this sit for over 3 hours with no change.
3. Steps to reproduce the problem.
- Open the AlienFX GUI and try to apply any theme. I have not tested the power zone, this is only relating to the 'Normal Zones' at the moment.
4. Specifications like the version of the project, install method, operating system, and hardware.
- Project Version: 2.2.0
- Operating System: Ubuntu 18.04
- Hardware Version: 17 r4
5. Additional info.
- The CLI command works immediately.
Suggestion: Possible improvement on setup.py
Suggestion to setup.py auto install the pip via APT and after this the python modules needed, using pip:
import os
import pip
import platform
Install core modules to run
print("We will need install some python packages/modules, if this is your first run")
print('ensure your internet connection is working and be patient...')
Detect if using Debian/Ubuntu and install packages via APT
distro=platform.dist()[0]if distro="Ubuntu":
Install packages
print('Ubuntu detected... Installing Python pip and some modules via APT')
os.system("/usr/bin/apt-get install -y python-pip libcairo2-dev python-gi python-gi-cairo")
elif distro == "Debian":
Install packages
print('Debian detected... Installing Python pip and some modules via APT')
os.system("/usr/bin/apt-get install -y python-pip libcairo2-dev python-gi python-gi-cairo")
else:
print 'Please make sure you have pip installed, and install the modules needed to proceed'
Confirm if we have all python modules needed to run this
If modules are not found, install them via pip
pkgs = ['setuptools', 'future']
for package in pkgs:
try:
import package
except ImportError:
pip.main(['install', package])`
Alienware 13R2 issue with applying theme
I have the same issue that others have had previously- the application just sits on applying theme and never actually changes the light color. Has there been a fix for this somewhere? I am using an alienware 13r2 and I followed the guide for installing the program with sudo.
logo blinks and turns off
1. Expected behavior.
- Expecting logo to slowly morph thru set theme
2. Actual behavior.
- logo blinks thru each change and shuts off after a few colors
3. Steps to reproduce the problem.
- create a
ab|bc|cd|detransition for each of the colors - save theme
- apply theme
- observe logo lighting
4. Specifications like the version of the project, install method, operating system, and hardware.

}Hello there
1. Expected behavior.

2. Actual behavior.
- I'm able to put the program to work, single changing the produt id, from
self.product_id = 0x0520toself.product_id = 0x0528but dont have sure if the zones are the same on both models
Hacktoberfest
Looking for contributors that can add/confirm "zone codes" to the various Alienware models that don't currently have the correct ones. As well as adding Models that have not been added to the growing list yet.
Thank you!
17xR3 No change in fx
Got this installed, but it just loops "Applying theme..." indefinitely. Any tips? 17xR3
Alienware 13R2 - kinda working
The 13R2 only has 8 zones, setup as per attachment.
controller_13R2.py.zip
There is a problem that if the other zones are not defined then an error is thrown.

X51 Support
I have tried to find the VID and PID for my Alienware X51 R2 through the lsusb command, but I don't think it uses USB for changing the light color.
17R3 - Zone testing
1. Expected behavior.
- Zones should act as stated on software
2. Actual behavior.
Major problems:
- Right Speaker - Zone missing (LED remains OFF)
- Touchpad - Zone missing (LED remains OFF)
Misplaced zones to that specific model:
- Alien Head Zone - Points to wi-fi / caps-lock / num-lock LED's zone
- Media Bar (maybe this zone on 17R3 should be named "external cover") - Points to Left Speaker zone
- Right Speaker - Points to Alienware name below the display (I think that is the zone named Logo) zone
- Touchpad - Points to HDD LED zone
- Logo - Points to Alien Head zone
- Left speaker - Points to External Display Cover lines
Improvements/suggestions:
- Right keyboard - That zone should be named numerical keyboard
- Middle right keyboard - That zone should be named right keyboard
- Middle left keyboard - That zone should be named center keyboard

Adding Alien Head
I found the zone code for the Alien Head. I've added it to the control files and it shows up on the GUI. But there is no color selection for that zone. I'm trying to figure out what I'm still missing.
Setting Blink and Loop Durations
1. Expected behavior.
- Visible options in GUI and/or CLI to change the blink interval and loop interval for a zone in a theme.
2. Actual behavior.
- No such option clearly visible
3. Specifications like the version of the project, install method, operating system, and hardware.
- Project Version: b9fec13

Area51 R4 Support
Hi all,
I was excited to find this project, i'm sitting on an Alienware Area51 R4. I'm also a developer, so i don't mind getting my hands dirty - is anyone free to send me a message with a bit about the project layout and how to do things like find my model number so i can add support for it?

Hopefully, there's a simple fix, but I just haven't found it yet.
Create a Zone Scanner
We need to create a "Zone Scanner" that will scan each zone code, one at a time. This will help people to add support for their Alienware models.
Read ATH files for alienfx themes
ATH files are the most used file format to share Alienfx themes and are supported by the official AW Command Center app. It would be nice to have that feature
Left and Right Speakers cannot be changed independently
1. Expected behavior.
- Colors for left and right speakers can be different
2. Actual behavior.
- GUI forces both colors to be the same
3. Steps to reproduce the problem.
- In the GUI, select different colors for Left and Right Speaker zones. They will always change to be the same.
- I have manually edited the theme file and found that different colors for those two zones can be set for my Alienware 17R1 i.e. the different colors are lit correctly.
4. Specifications like the version of the project, install method, operating system, and hardware.
- Project Version: b9fec13
- Operating System: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS
Alienware 15 R4
1. Expected behavior.
- Working lights
2. Actual behavior.
- The lights are not working no matter what I do
I'm a bit confused by what is going on here, but it seems to me that you've figured out a way to control the Alienware lights outside of the command center. I'm unfamiliar with programming and Git, so I'm not sure how to use any of the items on your page. Could you lend me a hand so I can try to get my lights working again? I would greatly appreciate it. I use an Alienware 15 R4. Also apologies for not exactly following the issue template

None of them worked. How can I set the themes or use the gui?

Create a device list
The device-controller-naming is a bit irritating, as the controller-naming differs from what the bios is telling me: e.g. M17R4<->Alienware 17 R4
Therefore i suggest to create a device-list which should contain the following information:
-Name in alienfx (controller_.py)
-devicename as shown in bios (or windows commandline via "wmic computersystem get model")
-device release date
-controllers hardware ID
-optionally a picture
No supported Alien FX controllers found!
I have an Alienware Area51 R2 case (big triangle desktop)
I got the case second hand and other than the cables in it nothing else is stock.
I am really hoping someone is able to help me get AlienFX to see and control my lighting as it is my last hope. Right now the front panel is rimmed in Green and Purple with a light purple button and the sides never turn on at all, with no way to change any of them.
All official versions refuse to recognize my system and install.
Help me trackmastersteve, you're my only hope.

How can i change the zones brightness ?? There is no option included in the alienfx-GUI, is there anyway ? I set it to lowest when i had windows installed, its still set to lowest and i cant increase it.

Alienware 17 AKA Alienware M17XR5 Ranger
Specific Model According to Wikipedia: Alienware 17 (Discontinued) - 2013 refresh of the M17x, updated with Intel Haswell Processors and Nvidia GeForce 700 Series GPUs or the AMD R9 M290X with new facelift and body design. Marketed as "Alienware 17" but listed in some countries and order details as "M17XR5 Ranger". Updated with Nvidia GeForce 800 Series in 2014.
I included the above because there is lot of confusion and ACPI identification problems when it comes to features. Have to custom compile a lot to get CPU functioning better.

- Actual behavior.
Does not scan all - or find all.
These are your zonecodes for current controller ("0x187c / 0x0524"):
lkbrd: 0x0001
mkbrd: 0x0002
rkbrd: 0x0004
numpad: 0x0008
Left-Bar: 0x0020
Right-Bar: 0x0040
Logo-Outer-Lid: 0x0080
Logo-Inside-Lid: 0x0100
tpad: 0x0200
wifi: 0x0800
PowerButton: 0x2000
Still does not find them all and no matching "controller" file. CPU processing light dies aferwards as well.
- Steps to reproduce the problem.
4. Specifications like the version of the project, install method, operating system, and hardware.
I'm actually attempting to do some C-Programming to try to slide in something for all of these - just looking at a good place to start.

Confusion using command line
Hi - I'm excited to make use of this project but unsure of how to actually get the CLI commands to work, on my Alienware M11x R2
I'm running Debian Stretch and have successfully followed the installation guide, and can call "alienfx --help" and get an output.
I've run alienfx -z and performed a zonescan successfully, but I'm unsure how to actually use the zone codes that are output. I can also see a config file for my model of machine in .config\alienfx\ but I'm not sure how to actually load it, or where to place the file for the application to be able to see it.
Any assistance you may be able to provide is greatly appreciated - it may be that I'm missing something fundamental, or perhaps the installation has not quite worked correctly (for instance, there are no themes available when opening the GTK version, but I'm not sure if there are supposed to be)
Thanks
Zones for the M11XR2:
These are your 6 zonecodes for the current controller ("VID: 0x187c / DEV: 0x0514"):
alien head: 0x2000
alienware logo: 0x0100
wifi: 0x0800
left vent: 0x0020
keyboard: 0x0001
right vent: 0x0040

I'm generally a newer Linux user; about 2.5 years now. I have used Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, and Solus. Please let me know what you need to hammer-down support for the M17xR2.
How do I find the values for an M17R2-2019?
1. Expected behavior.
I read the Contributing Doc, there's no instructions on how to pull the actual values. I'm running Linux and can run dmideoce in addition to lshw or anything else if given instructions.
