goxlr-on-linux VS streamdeck-ui

The install script that alleges support of goxlr is not officially supported in Manjaro and not available from AUR and does not appear to be working too well https://github.com/GoXLR-on-Linux/goxlr-on-linux/issues

He was trying to install goxlr on linux. It's nothing official, just a hack written by two people to make some unsupported hardware device work on linux.

These commands must be executed in the console. To do this, open the terminal, paste the following lines and press enter: wget https://github.com/GoXLR-on-Linux/goxlr-on-linux/raw/main/install.sh sudo chmod +x ./install.sh sudo ./install.sh

curl https://github.com/GoXLR-on-Linux/goxlr-on-linux/raw/main/install.sh | sh

The goXLR script/Github repo that was featured? They added clearer noob-resistant instructions for how to download an execute the script. https://github.com/GoXLR-on-Linux/goxlr-on-linux/commit/45fbb38c2b18e2c0f9f99ce4d47ecfebcb7d562a

Yes: https://github.com/GoXLR-on-Linux/goxlr-on-linux/commit/45fbb38c2b18e2c0f9f99ce4d47ecfebcb7d562a

On a positive note https://github.com/GoXLR-on-Linux/goxlr-on-linux updated their README.md

To be fair, if you go to the github page of that goxlr-on-linux repo and look at the hyperlink to the "install.sh" in the file listing, it does look like a url to download the actual script:

Unfortunately, the StreamDeck doesn't emulate a standard USB HID device, so it needs a driver running in the background to detect button presses and do things like generate keystrokes or call Keyboard Maestro macros.

There's streamdeck-ui (https://timothycrosley.github.io/streamdeck-ui/), which is an open-source alternative, but it at first glance it seems to be only for Linux).

There are a bunch of other macro/launcher pads like the StreamDeck that DO act as standard USB HID keyboards, though, and those should work fine with Keyboard Maestro using keyboard shortcut triggers.

Found that one which seems to work with older models. https://github.com/timothycrosley/streamdeck-ui or https://flathub.org/apps/com.feaneron.Boatswain

what OS do you have on ur pi? from what i know stream deck is only compatible with Windows and MacOS, you’d have to do a special setup to use it with Linux

Not sure if that keyboard has open source editing software, but Elgato Stream Deck certainly does.

tbh I didn’t have a problem with the official Windows app so I can’t say anything about that much

But under Linux I used this

Works pretty well by my experience under Debian. There are some edge cases like Wayland (see the issues) though.

The only tip I'd have would be for Wayland users who suffer from not having global shortcuts work with OBS: obs-cli with obs-websocket have you covered. Set a keyboard shortcut or Stream Deck button (using streamdeck-ui) to execute an obs-cli command and you're done.

Anyone have any experience with the ElGato Keylights on Linux? I use Ubuntu 22.04. I have stream deck that I use with Streamdeck-ui and I wanted to know if anyone uses these lights with a cli program that would allow me to control them? On, Off, brightness, etc?

Thanks for the info, I wasn't aware of the Stream Deck. It is also supported on Linux by Open Source library and app. Very tempting.
