Description:
I have installed Bazzite on my Asus ROG GL553VD laptop (GTX 1050 GPU). However, when I open the ROG Control Center, it displays the following message:
“The asus armoury-driver is not loaded. For advanced features, you will require a kernel with this driver added.”
System Information:
I am using the following kernel version:
$ uname -r
6.16.4-115.bazzite.fc42.x86_64
Relevant Background:
According to the Bazzite releases, the Asus Armoury package was added in kernel version 6.12.10-204, which should address this issue.
Current Status:
Despite this, I am still facing the issue.
Output from asusctl:
$ asusctl profile
Starting version 6.1.12
Profiles not supported by either this kernel or by the laptop.
