What do you mean when you log into a session? This happens when you boot the system and try to log in?

3

i mean when i just log in

4

Are you able to get into a tty and try updating? Looks like something is messed up with envy control. Not sure? :thinking: Try uninstalling envy control and reinstalling it.

5

what is a tty?

i also have this when i type envycontrol in terminal

TTY refers to a virtual terminal. Pressing CTRL + ALT + F1-F6 will bring you to a TTY. Your GUI runs on top of you, usually the very first one. These are useful for troubleshooting purposes.

I will say that I got the same error running rivalcfg, which is a CLI tool to change settings for SteelSeries mice. It’s the exact same output. I wonder if something is off with the latest update. Installing it through pipx solved my issue.

i just reinstalled it , now it works

Huh. Perhaps I should try that with rivalcfg too. Weird, though.

It hasn’t fixed it for rivalcfg.

You reinstalled EOS or just envycontrol?

12

envy control only
