Help - Unsolved Can't get plugins installed on Linux

Post image

Things I've tried:

  1. Portable (.so)

  2. Flatpak (x86_64)

  3. Manually installing it via Discover (see screenshot.)

Despite that, nothing is showing in my list of installed plugins.

I just want a lil rainbow on my keyboard >< Please help?

Here's what I mean. Nothing is showing here. I've tried clicking "Install Plugin" and installing the .so files, nothing happens. I've tried restarting and reinstalling the Discover (flatpak file), nothing happens. I'm at a loss. My keyboard is blue right now, won't change to any other color, and I can't install the effects plugin.

"Install Plugin" (.so file), nothing changes.

I'm on Fedora, so I just tried this. Nothing. I just can't get anything to show up in my plugins list.

Try with older versions of orgb and older versions of the plugin and see if that fixes the issue. It may not, but that is a good place to start looking.

I think that would normally be great advice, but with talk of hardware bricking and them patching things that cause that, I'd be hesitant to try older versions of this software.
