rog-control-center installs, but no longer starts.
$ rog-control-center
Could not get asusd version: MethodError(OwnedErrorName(“org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown”), Some(“The name is
not activatable”), Msg { type: Error, serial: 4294967295, sender: UniqueName(“org.freedesktop.DBus”), reply-serial: 12
, body: Str, fds: [] })
Is asusd.service running?

After much trial & error, I just installed openrgb & assume the Cachy kernel can handle the rest of what rog-control center did.

Is asusd.service running?

Looks like it suggests asusd service is not running. Could you post the output of sudo systemctl status asusd.service ? If no error/warning log is shown(Just showing it’s off) then try running sudo systemctl start asusd.service and launch rog-control-center again?

It was a little more verbosely discussed over here;

And it was something talked about at the AUR page too even back in April.

It was a bug that is supposed to be fixed .. but it seems some users still face the same issue.
