ROG-Control: The asus-armoury driver is not loaded

Hi,

after a recent update I ran into this issue when opening Asus ROG Control app:

I verified that I could no longer control various settings inside the SW (Charge limit was completely ignored, Keyboard RGB worked fine, didn’t check Fan Curves).

I’d successfuly managed to temporarily alleviate the problem with an ostree rollback sudo rpm-ostree rollback to Bazzite 41.20250106.3, but while I was checking the forums and github issues to see if anyone else ran into the same problem, I discoverd this issue: Broken BIOS setting mapping/efivars on Bazzite 41 · Issue #1800 · ublue-os/bazzite · GitHub

So, I decided to check just in case and here’s the result on 41.20250106.3:

fwupdmgr get-bios-settings --json
{
  "BiosSettings" : []
}

This leaves me puzzled, as ROG Control Center UI behaves as if it was working correctly (so does fan control and keyboard RGB).

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is this a known and expected issue because of upstream changes / out of tree stuff going on with asusctl devs or something? Cheers in advance.

EDIT: Almost forgot to add for the sake of completion: after I ran into the issue, the first thing I tried was to re-enroll MOK keys through ujust just in case, but that obv. didn’t work.

Hello

I have the same problem with my “ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 GA402RJ-L8092W” → all AMD.

EDIT:

I’m seeing this as well on the aurora asus images.

(I have no Asus hardware so don’t have full insight on this but…)

It looks like something new has been added to the asusctl etc and needs a kernel support, which propably is missing on the bazzite kernel that bluefin/aurora uses for asus (HWE images).

You can file an issue here: GitHub - hhd-dev/kernel-bazzite or report it on the uBlue Discord.

Hey, thanks for the tip @inffy. I’ve opened a ticket.

Thanks to @antheas, kernel 6.12.10-204 will hopefully fix this when it lands.

Thanks @dman-os, I’ll mark your reply as solution if it does :slight_smile:
