[SOLVED] xset led doesn't work (on wayland...)

twyK · 2016-10-17 12:12:38

Hello,
Its a week that i can't light up my keyboard led because "xset led 3" or "xset led named "Scroll_Lock" doesn't work, and console doesn't show up nothing...

When i run these commands with sudo, console return:

No protocol specified
xset: unable to open display ":0"

Someone can help me to fix this little problem?

Well, to run it as root, try sudo bash -c "DISPLAY=:0 xset led 3"
Not sure if it will help with the underlying problem.

Edit: Oh, and welcome to Arch Linux

Opps, sorry. This is an Xauthority thing.
Try:

sudo bash -c "XAUTHORITY=$(ls -1 /home/*/.Xauthority | head -n 1 ) xset led 3"

I think that will work

Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyxset: unable to open display ":0"

Forget about doing this as root, won't work (easily with sudo) and must not be required.
What's the output of "xset q | grep LED" resp. does "xset -led 3; sleep 1; xset led 3" get you somewhere?

And please post ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.*.log

The output is:
grep: LED resp. does xset: File or directory does not exists
grep: 3: File or directory does not exists

Maybe try

xset q | grep LED

and also

xset -led 3; sleep 1; xset led 3

Welcome to linux.

Nothing happened

Thanks you xD

Looking at the xorg logs, also the output of

xinput

and try to unplug the headset.

seth · 2016-10-17 17:09:31

LED mask: 00000006

This means the scroll lock led is considered active by the system (and numlock)

I tried also to turn on the keyboard LED on GRUB and it works correctly...

So how i can do? >.<

Ops, didn't see that.

xinput output:
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ xwayland-pointer:13    id=6 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard    id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard    id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ xwayland-keyboard:13 id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]

Now i try to unplug the headset

EDIT: Un-plugging the headset don't change anything

Do you run gnome on wayland?

I dont know what is wayland, but i have gnome

seth · 2016-10-17 17:30:25

wayland is an alternative display server and presently the default for gnome. You'll have to select gnome on X11 or similar on login.
At least it's not much of a surprise that xset cannot effectively control your keyboard on wayland.

I dont have similiar choice on gnome login, how i can switch manually?

seth · 2016-10-17 17:36:46

Thanks you, i'll try this right now

*Headdesk* No wonder my stuff was hosed.

seth · 2016-10-17 17:45:53

I'd say that Arch should revert the default against upstream.
It's premature and fucks with every noob while developers (which require it) will be able to find it.
If there was at least a big fat warning or a fixed wallpaper with every login....

Also there maybe should be a sticky in the forum: "before you post, do you run gnome on wayland?" because everything that's more involved with X11 will behave oddly for sure.

twyK · 2016-10-17 17:45:57

It Works!

Ahaha thanks to you too, now you can close!

You can. Edit your original post, prepend [SOLVED] to the title and maybe append "(on wayland)" or some such.
