Weird issues with roccat-tools 4.0.0

[André Fettouhi]

I own a Roccat Ryos MK Pro keyboard and Roccat Kone XTD mouse. I have the mouse plugged into the keyboard and the keyboard into the back of my Linux PC. I am running Arch Linux 64 bit with KDE Plasma 5.6. A few days ago I upgraded to roccat-tools 4.0.0 via AUR. Now everytime I restart my machine all the lights on the keyboard go out when log into my desktop. I can get the lights back when I run the device settings tool for the keyboard and click the Editor button then all the lights go on again as they should.

the same issue with Ryos MK Pro, but i can't get lights back and Caps_Lock stops working as Caps_Lock

Regarding the lights: I'm more and more leaving Roccats ways and doing my own thing. Changing the scripting abilities from layer-based fancy effects to profile based, more powerful possibilities is one such thing. Unifying all the Ryos in scripting abilities is another. But I also had the need to release something for the RyosMKFX users to work with sooner than later. So the transition began but in 4.0 it's only halfway there.
To see the normal light settings you have to edit ~/.config/roccat/ryosmk.ini or ~/.config/roccat/ryostkl.ini and insert the following lines

RippleModule=

This leaves you with no scripted effects altogether for now. (Lua related warnings in the console can be ignored)

Regarding the Capslock: I can reproduce this and will investigate.

The next release should make things much better but the RyosMKPro support has to be changed in large amounts which takes some time.

Thanks for the clarification, got my lights back :). How do set the CAPS LOCK key to be a regular caps lock? I've trying to figure that out for months now?

I continue to use Roccat-Tools 3.9.0

@Andre: If you sit around for months waiting for something to happen without telling me there's a good chance nothing will happen. For the early birds, here's the patch for the caps-lock issue:
