[SOLVED] Linux-zen-7.0.8 breaks openrazer
When building the openrazer-driver-dkms module after upgrading, the driver fails to install and so polychromatic can no longer use connected devices.
Is there a fix for me, or do I simply have to wait for an update to openrazer?
Downgrading to linux-zen-7.0.7 fixes the problem, so it's definitely the kernel problem
EDIT: Fixed in Linux-zen 7.0.10

Re: [SOLVED] Linux-zen-7.0.8 breaks openrazer
Thank you loqs. Good to see someone more able to report bugs than I on the case. (For info, I have no idea which login to use these days).

Re: [SOLVED] Linux-zen-7.0.8 breaks openrazer
My pull request to apply a fix for 7\.0\.[89]-(arch|zen)1 was rejected. The 7.0.10 releases of those kernels will address the issue.
Edit:
7.0.10 releases now currently in testing.
