Problems with installing the utilities with qmake & make

[Thomas]

Hello,

I wanted to install module & utility today on my laptop (P65xHP with Linux Mint 18.2). I pulled it via git, then tried to install as the readme stated. Module installed without problems. But when I got to "make" the utility I ran into an error I didn't understand. I first thought that there is a c++ library missing, but I can't find a library named "QFile". I got no clue anymore what could be wrong, so some help would be nice.

Hi Thomas,

we have replace the Qt UI with a Python/CEF Python UI (commit 3689bd8) in the testing branch.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for the info, the python UI works fine for me. But I have a new issue now. Apparently the module was not installed correctly as the UI stated it was not loaded. I then tried to "make && sudo make install" the module from the testing branch, but it failed with an error:

make -C /lib/modules/4.8.0-53-generic/build M=/home/happycamper/clevo-xsm-wmi/module modules_install
make[1]: Verzeichnis „/usr/src/linux-headers-4.8.0-53-generic“ wird betreten
  INSTALL /home/happycamper/clevo-xsm-wmi/module/clevo-xsm-wmi.ko
At main.c:158:

  DEPMOD  4.8.0-53-generic
make[1]: Verzeichnis „/usr/src/linux-headers-4.8.0-53-generic“ wird verlassen

I couldn't find out why this happens, so I tried a solution from a different thread (https://bitbucket.org/tuxedocomputers/clevo-xsm-wmi/issues/8/ubuntu-1604-when-sudo-make-install-to). Now the UI says the kernel module loads upon boot, but when I change settings nothing happens and when I unload then load the module it throws out an error:

insmod: ERROR: could not load module clevo_xsm_wmi: No such file or directory

Do you have some help for me for this problem too?

Regards, Thomas

edit: Should I close this issue and open another?
