an easy and straightforward way to install ectool, and power-led at the same time.

what is power-led?

A script that changes the color of the power button light on 11th and 12th gen Framework 13 Laptops.

After seeing that it was possible to change the LED color of the power button i thought it would be great to use it as battery indicator, from this i made i tiny 10 lines script that would change it automatically. from that point it escalated into service files and i enjoyed the journey so continued, now i made a setup to automatically deploy it, download ectool, move it and most importantly: it cleans up after itself! Hope you like it!

importand note: The ectool binary has to be in the /usr/local/bin directory for the .service files and the power-led-loop.sh file to work.

installation:

One line command:

This command has been tested on: Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch and OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

Special case for Opensuse Tumbleweed, when trying to install libftdi1-devel in the setup.sh file (this option is activated when the script downloads ectool), it will be flagged as failure even if it worked, this can be prevented by installing libftdi1-devel outside of the script and then running setup.sh or by running the script twice.

git clone https://github.com/Player6734/power-led.git /home/$USER/Downloads/power-led_SETUP ; cd /home/$USER/Downloads/power-led_SETUP ; sudo bash ./setup.sh ; cd ; rm -rf /home/$USER/Downloads/power-led_SETUP

this does the following:

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Player6734/power-led.git /home/$USER/Downloads/power-led_SETUP

Enter the direcotry:

cd /home/$USER/Downloads/power-led_SETUP

Run setup.sh as root:

sudo bash ./setup.sh

Goes back to user directory:

cd

Cleans up the repo:

rm -rf /home/$USER/Downloads/power-led_SETUP

Issues

• The light hangs on for too long when laptop is shutdown or restarted. (WIP)

power-led's Issues

The light hangs on for too long when laptop is shutdown or restarted.

This has to do with power-led-off.service not being activated when the system is being shut down. i have yet to find a solution.
