Install via on solus

NathanCFoster

Hey there, I just got a sweet new keyboard unfortunately to change the rgb it seems like I need to have a special program called Via. If someone could help me by either adding Via to the repo or giving a bit of guidance for installing it'd be a great help.
I have already tried using the app image while it seems to work for changing up my keymap, it won't change my rgb.

Do you get any error if you run it from terminal?

algent When running from the terminal the ui pops up however it doesn't change the lighting.

NathanCFoster I can't find any source code for this app. Not sure if it is opensource.
here: https://github.com/the-via/releases/releases they have Source code (tar.gz) which contains only an empty README.md file. No mention of application license anywhere.

Is your keyboard in this list: https://caniusevia.com/docs/supported_keyboards

algent Yes it's the dz60rgb should be the second version

NathanCFoster Figured it out... turns out you need to add a macro to switch the layers and from there change the rgb. Thanks for the help though!
