If v9.9.0 tried to install 938 MB of NVIDIA drivers on your AMD machine — that was my mistake, and it's fixed
The Arch package listed the NVIDIA sensor reader as a required dependency, so pacman pulled in nvidia-utils and the whole EGL stack onto systems with no NVIDIA card in them. It's optional again, where it belongs.
If you skipped v9.9.0 because of this, v9.9.1 is safe.
curl -LO https://github.com/Lexonight1/thermalright-trcc-linux/releases/latest/download/trcc-linux-latest-any.pkg.tar.zst && sudo pacman -U trcc-linux-latest-any.pkg.tar.zstNVIDIA owners: TRCC now tells you the right command for your distro
The reader stays optional — nobody should be handed a driver stack they don't need. But if you do have an NVIDIA card and the reader is missing, TRCC now names the exact package for your system:
sudo pacman -S python-nvidia-ml-py # Arch / CachyOS
sudo apt install python3-pynvml # Ubuntu / DebianPreviously it suggested Fedora's package name on every distro — so the command it gave Arch users didn't even exist. Ubuntu/Debian users no longer need to install it by hand at all.
Your panel now says when it's asleep
A panel that goes idle sleeps, and reconnecting failed with a bare [Errno 110] Operation timed out — indistinguishable from broken hardware. TRCC now says it's asleep, and how to keep it awake.
Videos: display play explains itself
Loading a video and running trcc display play redrew one frame every couple of seconds and looked frozen. play is the metrics loop; display play-video is the video player. TRCC now says so instead of leaving you to guess.
Thanks to @em73es and @SunnyZorya23 for catching the AMD regression within hours of v9.9.0 — and to @developer-yl and @armangido for the reports behind the rest. em73es asked for exactly what shipped here: the reader optional, plus a clear runtime warning when an NVIDIA card is present and the module isn't. 🍺
