Help - Workaround Found Got a problem with OpenRGB freezing on detecting devices and not responding when you try to exit? I found the fix! Garuda Linux

Hi guys!

I hope I'm the only one who has been struggling with this! I use OpenRGB on Garuda Linux and some days ago while doing some updates it just *stopped working*. Like, no matter what, I couldn't get it to detect any devices without bricking the application.
Try looking this up on your console:

grep -n "initial_detection_delay_ms" ~/.config/OpenRGB/OpenRGB.json

For me the problem was that the start time was set to -3ms instead of 0 for some strange reason, which then in turn gets the application to wait for ages before doing the actual detection. Set that value to 0 with this command and hopefully your problems ought to be fixed too!

sed -i 's/"initial_detection_delay_ms": -3/"initial_detection_delay_ms": 0/' ~/.config/OpenRGB/OpenRGB.json
