capt.asic Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I am developing a plugin/container for Unraid to manage RGB lighting using OpenRGB, however there is a kernel level patch that needs to be applied. Would you mind adding this as a hotfix? https://gitlab.com/CalcProgrammer1/OpenRGB/-/wikis/OpenRGB-Kernel-Patch 1 Quote Link to comment

McTaurus13 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 I'm following guide here: https://github.com/P3R-CO/openrgb-container and discovered I need to patch the kernel with provided documentation here: https://gitlab.com/CalcProgrammer1/OpenRGB/-/wikis/OpenRGB-Kernel-Patch It seems to be a bit vague in it's directions, thus bumping this thread.

Bolagnaise Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Potentially someone really nice like @ich777could develop this into a kernal patch for us unraid users using ASUS motherboards. Quote Link to comment

Can somebody give me a bit more insight what this is? Is this really needed? Is this something for RGB, if yous, why would you have RGB in your server? Quote Link to comment

Is this really needed? no. not really. extremely low priority at best. I guess people could connect it to a home assistant instance in docker and make their cabinet shiny and control it via usb plugged into the server. Why would you have RGB in your server? some people use rgb in their server, i guess they want it to be shiny? 1 Quote Link to comment

Is this something for RGB, if yous, why would you have RGB in your server? RGB control of devices on SM bus. It’s not really a need, but certainly a nice to have. My Unraid server serves many purposes including a daily driver VM with hardware pass through. It would be a nice to have ability to control those shiny RGB memory modules, but I don’t feel comfortable putting all the other functionality at risk by attempting to patch the kernel. Thanks for looking and for your consideration. Cheers! 1 Quote Link to comment
ich777 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I will look into this but I make no promises that I'm able to make your Server shiny and blinking like a Christmas tree... Quote Link to comment

By default RGB is very obnoxious out of the box. The idea here is to have control to make more subtle or static. Many thanks in advance. 1 Quote Link to comment

Currently without the kernal patch you cannot control the SMBUS for RAM with ASUS motherboards. 1 Quote Link to comment

I can test too if you're looking for more. I have an Asus motherboard and my Unraid server is also my Windows gaming PC. I can control a lot of RBG (like passed through GPU, CPU cooler, etc) through Windows but I'd like to make my ram RBG less obnoxious and I think this is the only way. Quote Link to comment

Inigma Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Is this ASUS specific or something an Asrock x570 Taichi Razer Edition would benefit from? I sure would like to turn down the rainbow and maybe turn it off or something static. Fingers crossed. Memory specifically. Used to be cooler too, but wraith prism cooler has been replaced. 1 Quote Link to comment

Bolagnaise Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Once again @ich777 thankyou very much for helping us RGB nerds. Your willingness to help this community is amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment
DhanOS Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) Thank you @ich777, I've been waiting for this. This was one of the things preventing me from using UnRAID on my workstation which normally looks like this: In my case this is not a server, but I want to use UnRAID to be able to run multiple OS-es, for example Windows and Linux alongside. Without this patch (that I hope will work in my case) and ability to ser RGB, I have rainbows all around, and I hate rainbows Edited May 9, 2022 by DhanOS 2 Quote Link to comment
shaunbarrow Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 YASSSSSS!!! I love this community!! I have 3 "Unraid servers" in my house, one is my "walltop" PC in my office, OpenRGB is 100% needed, sometimes i just want ALL RGB off, and up until now, i couldnt do that! Here is a shot of my "Walltop" Unraid Setup =D Thank you SO much @capt.asic and @ich777 2 Quote Link to comment
