Not your app specific issue, but want to hear from other users. If they also faced this and somehow was able to fix it. Before cleaning my heatsink fan, the cooler booster mode gave me 7000RPM. But now it only gives me 5900RPM max. What can be issue? Tried with EC upgrade, downgrade but still the same. Anyone else have ever faced this and later fixed this? Found some reddit post too, but no solution.

https://www.reddit.com/r/MSILaptops/comments/pmul5h/cooler_boost_rpm_lower_than_usual/

Info :
All Info reported Correctly

Cooler Boost :
Working

Mode :
Greyed out

Battery Threshold :
Working (In this case i test only in Balanced to confirm.. However applying custom values seems working too)

Fan Control :
This one is weird.. Whenever i enable advance fan control.. Fan 1 speed always idling between 2500-3000RPM even tho the temp is <65C (I set 0 RPM when <65C) Further testing reveal that it doesnt obey the value on the GUI..

If i disable advance control it will be auto and both fan at 0 RPM

This should work considering Cooler Boost also working..

Keyboard Backlit :
Greyed out

FN <-> Super :
I dont know how to test this but the button work

Webcam Toggle :
Working

USB Power SHare :
Greyed Out.. I dont what that is..

Most of the feature exist on Windows beside USB PowerShare.. (I dont know what that thing)

Some Notes :
I use Arch with 6.2.13-zen-1.1-zen.. Secure boot Enabled, UKI.. ec_sys and acpi_ec tested to confirm the issue still present and both result is the same

Hello! I tested it on my MSI laptop. My configuration:

• Model: Vector GP66 12UGSO
• BIOS Version: E1544IMS.509
• EC Version: 1544EMS1.112
• OS: Arch Linux (6.2.2-arch2-1)
• App version: 0.4.0

Test details:

• Mode: Y

• Battery Limit: Y

• Cooler Booster: Y

• Fan Control: Y

• Keyboard Backlit: N

• FN -> Super: Y

• Webcam: Y

• USB Power Share: N (greyed out)

Also I want to say the app is very handy and it works amazing! Thank you so much @dmitry-s93

[sudo] password for host:

Hello.

As a owner of MSI Raider GE78 HX 13VI I would love to have this program up and running on my Arch, unfortunately it won't compile.

CMake Error at /usr/lib/cmake/Qt6Core/Qt6CoreMacros.cmake:729 (set_property): set_property could not find TARGET MControlCenter. Perhaps it has not yet been created. Call Stack (most recent call first): /usr/lib/cmake/Qt6Core/Qt6CoreMacros.cmake:823 (qt6_finalize_target) CMakeLists.txt:88 (qt_finalize_executable)

I'm not a programmer but I guess this has to do something with Plasma 6, and the app was meant to run under Plasma 5. Any chance of updating it to run under newest KDE6?

Is there an option to switch automatically between power modes in MControlCenter?

For example, on my system preferences in kubuntu i have 2 power mode profiles:

• When connected to AC i choose performance mode
• When only using battery choose power save

MControlCenter doesn't change automatically between power modes if i connect the AC charger or remove it, i have to do it manually. Also, if i'm using the performance mode in system settings and super battery in McontrolCenter the laptop runs really hot because the fans are turned off.

Also is it possible to automatically change the screen refresh rate between power modes? For example, 165Hz with AC connected and 60Hz when only using the battery?

Thank you

hi, so i have the acpi_ec module but i dont know how to change the options, any tutorial of how to do that?, thank you

Installed from aur on arch, 0.4.0

Ui is extremely laggy, any interaction has between 2-5 seconds delay. An I mean anything, including windows resize.

No other app has this problem, everything else works fine, and I'm doing it on a fresh install.

mcontrolcenter process uses between 0-2% of cpu.

strace shows it being perpetually stuck on this, over and over:

futex(0x1e2b120, FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET_PRIVATE|FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME, 0, NULL, FUTEX_BITSET_MATCH_ANY

When I have tried to install this on my MSI GE76 on Arch Linux I get this error: (Last line being the error)

Installation start

cp: cannot create regular file '/etc/dbus-1/system.d/': No such file or directory

And if I was to open the app it is in a frozen like state where I cannot click any options other than the tabs.

Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to recompile the program to run on Windows 11. I think all MSI Centers have problems, regarding cleanliness of the interface, usability and impact on performance. So I was looking for an alternative as similar as possible to g-helper, but for MSI Notebooks. What do you think about it?

The options under the mode tab are grayed out. Everything else works fine I just can't change the mode by any means. I'm new to Linux so I probably messed up somewhere, any help would be appreciated nonetheless.

can someone help me in installation? iam new to linux pop os

Hi there, I've just download and tested on my GF63 Thin 9RCX (i7-9750H - 1050Ti)
And the program seems not working properly
The only thing that works is the info tab, every thing remains can not be used
I can't use any functions of the app like cooler boost or edit fan speed, or change battery mode...
Tab Mode is even disabled, can't press anything
I'm using Ubuntu 22.04 with KDE 5.25
Pls help

Hi, i was testing this on the latest Fedora 37 release and it seems it doesn't work. McontrolCenter tries to enable the ec_sys module but it fails. It seems that this particular module is not available in the Fedora kernel.

Are there any workarounds for this?

Thank you dmitry

i have msi bravo 15 with fedora having kernel 6.4 + i dont have ec_sys module so i installed acpi_ec kernel module with help of this
everything works fine in MControl center but the different power profile doesnt work ...
1.can anyone suggest how to fix it ??
2.do anyone know how to install ec_sys in my msi laptop so that
the power profile works
3.is there any better way to get different power profiles in fedora instead of this way plzz suggest

Would be useful to have some sort of information on what models are supported before i try to use this on my GL73 8RC.

Hello!

I have a problem. I'm getting the following message at program start:

When the app loads all options are disabled:

First of all: Yes, Secure Boot has (always) been disabled.

Now: I have tried to resolve this with the help of distribution devs and forum members.

This is what I have done so far:

1. As per the ArchWiki Kernel Module Page
   I made a file ec_sys.conf with the contents ec_sys and I placed it in /etc/modules-load.d/.
   I made a file ec_sys.conf with the contents options ec_sys write_support=1 and I placed it in /etc/modprobe.d/.
2. I did a reboot.
3. After login I opened the terminal and I did lsmod | grep ec_sys. This is the result: ec_sys 12288 0.

When I start the app I get the aforementioned error.

My system information is:

Operating System: Solus 4.5
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.10
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.114.0
Qt Version: 5.15.12

Fan control: everything works.

Settings: everything works.

Conclusion: everything works flawlessly and keep up your good work!

Hi, first, thanks for this amazing tool! I was using ISW for a while, but thanks to the recomandations of @FaridZelli, I am moving to you app, more flexible (I can dynamically change the fan speed, not only at reboot...). The fan control works perfectly, not all the other options, but personaly I don't care (except maybe the GPU temp, would be nice...).

Laptop info:
Name: GS60 6QE Ghost Pro
EC Version: 16H7EMS1.107

Arch (+ Window)

Test details:
CPU temp - Correct.
GPU temp - Seems to not working (0°C).
CPU\GPU fan speed - Correct.
Mode - Doesn't work (only Auto or Advanced)
Battery Limit - Work.
Cooler Boost - Work.
Fan Control - Work.
Keyboard Backlit - Doesn't work, the lights however yes...
FN -> Super - Doesn't work.
Webcam - Work.

This is what it looks like when you open the application.

Edit: I followed the steps on this site and it worked. https://github.com/YoyPa/isw/issues/265#issue-1419231642

Hi there.
First of all, thanks for this awesome work!

I just packaged your application for Mageia. Eventually, I will push it into the official repo.
I use a dkms version of the ec_sys module, provided by https://github.com/junocomp/ec-sys-dkms

I tested it on a Modern 15 B7M. Everything works fine but the Mode selection. The whole menu is completely grayed out.

I can do some testing if you give some hints on how to develop the fix ;)

Thanks

Hello.

I have tested this application.
Most of the functions work as on Windows 10 in the MSI Center.

Laptop info:
Name: GE76 Raider 11UG
BIOS Version: E17K3IMS.11D
BIOS Release Date: 2022/01/10
EC Version: 17K3EMS1.1141224202111:03:58
Windows + Manjaro (Arch)

Test details:
CPU\GPU temps - Correct.
CPU\GPU fan speed - Correct.
Mode - Work.
Battery Limit - Work.
Cooler Boost - Work.
Fan Control - Work.
Keyboard Backlit - Doesn't work.
FN -> Super - Doesn't work.
Webcam - Work.
USB Power Share - I can turn this option on and off, but I don't quite understand how it should work :)

P.S. I wish there was a Windows version of your program, because setting up fan сurve in the MSI Center is a nightmare. I searched the whole Internet for an alternative to MSI Center, but I couldn't find anything like your application anywhere.
Is there a chance that you will make a working build for Windows ?

MY LAPTOP

Some keyboard special keys don't work: turn on/off touchpad, turn on/off mic, turn on/off webcam, changing between power modes, screen rotation.

Also fliping the screen doens't turn off the trackpad and keyboard, light sensor doens't apear to be working.

Hi
I have found all addresses and values needed for GF63
how to contribute?

Dear developer,

Since the new msi-ec module was included in the recent kernel versions: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/platform/x86/msi-ec.c is it possible to make MControlCenter compatible with it?

This would be great for users since this is now included out of the box.

Thank you Dmitry!! Awesome job 👍

Hi :) I cloned and tried to install (on ubuntu), 2 different ways. Not sure if the README is up to date, or I am missing something?

husujo@MSI-Alpha-15:~/MControlCenter$ sudo ./install
sudo: ./install: command not found

husujo@MSI-Alpha-15:~/MControlCenter$ sudo ./scripts/install.sh
Installation start
cp: cannot stat './app/mcontrolcenter': No such file or directory

Hi! I just wanted to say thank you for your work!

I was able to get everything (but the keyboard) to work on Fedora 38 under BIOS E16V4IMS.118 (2023-02-13). I just had to also use musikid/acpi_ec as per issue #66.

For the keyboard (HW_id 1038:113a) I used Askannz/msi-perkeyrgb with the unbind trick as per issue #49.

If there is anything I could do to contribute let me know. I am dual booting Windows 10 so I could check stuff over there too.

Cheers!

Hi!

I report my laptop for fix compatibility.

Thanks!

Well, Firstly this control center is almost close to the dragon center, and it's really very good. In my laptop, almost all the options work, only the auto off of the keyboard backlight doesn't. My problem is there are some functionalities in my Fn key row.

Fn+F2 = Share Screen, which I know will not work.
Fn+F3 = Enabling/Disabling touchpad Doesn't Work
Fn+F6 = Enabling/Disabling webcam Works(also has a LED indicator on it which pop's up)
Fn+F7 = Don't know what it does, doesn't understood even in Windows
Fn+F10 = Airplane mode button, surprisingly doesn't work
Fn+F12 = Suspend mode, which works with my surprise

Any ways to enable atleast the airplane mode option? What should I try, can u give me some ray of hope?

Short self introduction I'm a Linux developer mostly working on hw-enablement for Linux laptops. I'm also the subsystem maintainer for kernel drivers under: drivers/platform/x86

While helping a MSI laptop user with some other issue I got pointed to MControlCenter.

First of all thank you for helping MSI laptop users with your app.

Some of the EC functionality which MControlCenter exposes has standardized kernel APIs. The most interesting feature probably being setting battery charge thresholds. On ThinkPad notebooks (and also on some other type laptops). These thresholds are exposed through the standardized kernel power-supply API: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-power

For example on my ThinkPad:

[hans@x1 ~]$ ls /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/
alarm                           charge_stop_threshold  manufacturer   subsystem
capacity                        cycle_count            model_name     technology
capacity_level                  device                 power          type
charge_behaviour                energy_full            power_now      uevent
charge_control_end_threshold    energy_full_design     present        voltage_min_design
charge_control_start_threshold  energy_now             serial_number  voltage_now
charge_start_threshold          hwmon2                 status
[hans@x1 ~]$ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_control_start_threshold 
50
[hans@x1 ~]$ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_control_end_threshold 
85

There are plans (but no code yet) to add support to upower and to GNOME's UI to allow users to set battery thresholds through these standardized sysfs attributes. And AFAIK in KDE powerdevil + the UI already support this.

I know that the kernel has a reputation of being hard to contribute to / an unfriendly place. But I ensure you that that is generally not the case and certainly not the case for the drivers/platform/x86 code which I maintain (under which code for MSI laptop's EC would fall).

It would be nice if these same kernel APIs would also work on MSI laptops, so I'm wondering if you would be willing to contribute support to the kernel for this? If you are worried about the review process you can send initial version of patches for this to me directly and I can do an initial review before posting the patches on the public mailinglist.

Here is my Model.

Here I can see that my CPU fan is working but not the GPU.

Hi,
first off I wanted to say that this project is really amazing and finally allowed me to control the fan speed.
But when I wake my Laptop up (after suspend) the fan speed goes back to the "default" values.
Is this intended? Or is there a workaround?
I am using a MSI Katana GF76-11UC.

I've isntalled https://github.com/MusiKid/acpi_ec and MControlCenter but all options are greyed out on MControlCenter and I get and an error on startup saying MControlCenter cannot load ec_sys kernel modules.

Features worked fine on windows(Battery, Keyboard, Fan, Display...)

Short self introduction I'm a Linux developer mostly working on hw-enablement for Linux laptops. I'm also the subsystem maintainer for kernel drivers under: drivers/platform/x86

I have been working with a user to get SW_TABLET_MODE reporting working on their MSI Summit E16 Flip A12UCT: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/issues/822

Looking at the ACPI tables of that model, their is an intel-hid ACPI device (check for HIDD in dsdt.dsl) which should report if the 2-in-1 is folded into tablet-mode or being used in laptop mode. Specifically the bit of ACPI code below should cause 0xcc / 0xcd ACPI notifies to be send which should then get picked up by the https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/platform/x86/intel/hid.c code and translated into SW_TABLET_MODE input events:

    Scope (_SB.PC00.LPCB)
    {
...
        Device (EC)
        {
...
            Method (_Q84, 0, NotSerialized)  // _Qxx: EC Query, xx=0x00-0xFF
            {
                SCIC = 0x84
                DBG8 = 0x84
                If ((IUCE == One))
                {
                    If (MYEC)
                    {
                        CONV = ISHS /* \_SB_.PC00.LPCB.EC__.ISHS */
                        If (((OSYS >= 0x07DF) && ^^^^HIDD.BTLD))
                        {
                            If ((CONV == 0x03))
                            {
                                UPBT (0x06, Zero)
                                Notify (^^^^HIDD, 0xCC) // Hardware-Specific
                            }
                            ElseIf ((CONV == One))
                            {
                                UPBT (0x06, One)
                                Notify (^^^^HIDD, 0xCD) // Hardware-Specific
                            }
                        }
                        ElseIf (CondRefOf (\_SB.PC00.GFX0.IUEH))
                        {
                            ^^^GFX0.IUEH (0x06)
                        }
                    }
                    Else
                    {
                        UPBT (0x06, One)
                        Notify (^^^^HIDD, 0xCD) // Hardware-Specific
                    }

                    Notify (LID0, 0x80) // Status Change
                }
                Else
                {
                    Notify (LID0, 0x80) // Status Change
                }
            }

But it seems that for some reason the EC is never sending 0x84 events, so this code never gets executed by the kernel's ACPI interpreter and we never get the 0xCC / 0xCD notifies on the ACPI HIDD device.

@dmitry-s93 since you have quite a bit of experience with the MSI EC on these devices, I wonder if you have any insights in this?

I was tried with Manjaro. Its worked but now im traying with Fedora 39 not working

How to enable it?

Hi,
Thanks for your work

I have a problem when im trying to install the app.

When a I run the script its says ./build/mcontrolcenter : no file or directory with this name

What is the problem ?

thanks

Hey,
I noticed that my laptop model (MSI Modern 15 A11M 1552EMS1.1180721) appears to have two additional memory addresses that are altered when I switch between user modes. Some time ago, I wrote a small Windows app to monitor the EC ram while I tweaked settings in MSI Center Pro to find out memory addresses specific to my model.

This was the data I was able to collect from switching between user modes and noting down updated addresses that my tool spit out:

Super Battery:
	 0x79 => 70 (0x46)
	 0x91 => 70 (0x46)
	 0xD2 => 194 (0xC2)
	 0xD3 => 129 (0x81)
	 0xD4 => 13 (0x0D)
	 0xEB => 143 (0x8F)

Silent:
	 0x79 => 75 (0x4B)
	 0x91 => 70 (0x46)
	 0xD2 => 193 (0xC1)
	 0xD3 => 130 (0x82)
	 0xD4 => 29 (0x1D)
	 0xEB => 128 (0x80)

Balanced:
	 0x79 => 75 (0x4B)
	 0x91 => 70 (0x46)
	 0xD2 => 193 (0xC1)
	 0xD3 => 131 (0x83)
	 0xD4 => 13 (0x0D)
	 0xEB => 128 (0x80)

High Performance:
	 0x79 => 80 (0x50)
	 0x91 => 75 (0x4B)
	 0xD2 => 192 (0xC0)
	 0xD3 => 131 (0x83)
	 0xD4 => 13 (0x0D)
	 0xEB => 128 (0x80)

MControlCenter currently sets shift mode 0xD2, fan flags 0xD4, and the super battery mode flag in 0xEB. If we ignore the backlight level 0xD3, there are two addresses left, that aren't handled by this app yet.

Both of these addresses are directly located in the address ranges, which also contain either CPU or GPU temperatures & fan speeds. Still, I'm not entirely sure what these are actually for.
My guess:
0x79: CPU power?
0x91: GPU power?

I documented all addresses I found for my model as a hex pattern file for ImHex annotations if that helps: https://github.com/ThePBone/msi-ec-modern/blob/master/msi_modern_15_a11m_ec.hexpat

It would be great if this app would also set 0x79 and 0x91 (maybe other models use these addresses as well?).

I wanted to let you know that I recently updated my kernel to 6.4.3-1.1 on Tumbleweed and since then the program throws this error every time it lauches. Obviously none of the functions work anymore and it's become redundant.

I am trying to install the application on POP OS and running into some issues. First error:
Installation start cp: cannot stat './app/mcontrolcenter': No such file or directory

Looking reading install.sh, I see that the filenames and structure listed in the script do not match those in the repository. Am I missing something? Do I need to relabel all the files and directories to match?

Apologies if I am missing something obvious. I know just enough to get me in trouble most of the time.

Hello, I'm making this message to add proper support for my laptop, which is, as the title says, an MSI GE63 RAIDER RGB 8RE.

There are no proper guidelines to follow yet for making device requests, so I'm gonna try and follow what people generally show you.

Laptop Details :

• Laptop : MSI GE63 RAIDER RGB 8RE
• EC Version : 16P5EMS1.111
• EC Build : 05/20/2019 09:44:24
• Windows + Arch Linux
• MControlCenter 0.3.0 (installed via custom PKGBUILD from #43)

Test details :

• Battery charge : ✔️ (Is it normal that it's off by +1% though ?)

• CPU Temps : ✔️ All correct.
• Fan speeds : ❌ First is incorrect.
• Cooler Boost : ✔️ Works !
• Modes : ❌ Greyed out. Feature available in Dragon Center on my Windows installation.
• Battery settings : ❌ Greyed out. In comparison, isw seems to support that feature on my laptop.
• Keyboard backlit : ❓ Greyed out. I'm not sure about this setting. My keyboard is one made by SteelSeries, so maybe it's normal for it to be greyed out. However, for the sake of comparison, I'd like to confirm that msi-perkeyrgb works properly with my laptop.
• USB RGB lighting : ❌ Completely missing.
• FN / Super : ❌ Doesn't work at all.
• WebCam : ✔️ Works !
• USB Power Share : ❓ Greyed out. Not sure my model has this feature.

EC Dump :
I'm not sure my current EC dump is "clean" after messing around with MControlCenter, if you see what I mean.
As such, I think it's better for me to give you this one instead from a few months ago :
JordanViknar/isw-ge63-8re#1
If you wish to, you can still ask me for my current EC dump though.
