no support for older msi laptops

[volnes]

Hello, great project!
But any plans to support older msi laptops with only one fan.
i have GF63 Thin 9SCSR (REV:1.0)
I run your app and no fan speed, no RPM...nothing

Did you install the acpi_ec module, or are you not running the application with sudo?
The error suggests that the acpi_ec module is not installed. If it's missing, you can install it from the following repository:
👉 https://github.com/agnath18K/acpi_ec

Alternatively, you can use the installer script to set everything up properly:

git clone https://github.com/agnath18K/dragon_center_linux.git
cd dragon_center_linux

Run the installer script with sudo
sudo ./install_dragon_service.sh

This will install the required modules and set up the service correctly.

Yes, I run this.
And all was successful.
I reboot and no tray icon and nothing works.
Then I move to directory where exec installed and run it again.
Using Ubuntu Mate 24.04.01.

There might be some dependency issues since I’m also using Ubuntu 24, but with GNOME instead of MATE. Are there any errors when you try launching the binary manually? I’ve updated the release .deb with some fixes related to tray functionality.

Once you have the acpi_ec and the Linux app working, try switching between different profiles and see if any of the other BIOS model configurations match your setup. If none of them work, let me know—I'll find the right config for your laptop and add it.

well my EC version is 16R3EMS1 if i right https://github.com/BeardOverflow/msi-ec/blob/main/docs/supported_devices.md

Anyway none of list supported devices doesnt work.
get an error:

acpi_ec installed:

[agnath18K]

Was EC access working for you when using ISW at '/sys/kernel/debug/ec/ec0/io'? Also, is Secure Boot enabled on your system?

[volnes]

secure boot disabled, i'm not using ISW.
but ec_sys.write_support=1 is enabled

I'm using mlfc https://github.com/marshevms/mlfc
And it works fine without issues.

[agnath18K]

Can you try installing this .deb package?
dragoncenter_1.0.1_amd64.deb

[volnes]

still no luck, getting this when trying use any function like cooler boost

[agnath18K]

The error suggests there might be communication issues between the app and the EC. It's possible that the acpi_ec is not correctly installed. You can try running the script from this link and adjust the cooler boost address according to your laptop's configuration, if it's different from what's specified in the script.
