Created page with instructions on how to install the TCC and Tuxedo-Keyboard (old version)

New page

TUXEDO Computers is a German company that specializes in assembling devices specifically designed to work out-of-the-box with Linux OSes.

When configured with their flagship distro, TUXEDO devices offer particular integrations with the Linux kernel, allowing fan management, CPU underclocking, power profile selection and the tweaking of other hardware-related settings via the preinstalled Tuxedo Control Center and Kernel modules.

In case you installed NixOS on a TUXEDO computer, however, you will have to specifically configure your system in order to gain access to those functionalities.

== Tuxedo Control Center ==

As of today, the Tuxedo Control Center is unfortunately not available in Nixpkgs, making it impossible to install it right away.

Thanks to [https://github.com/blitz/tuxedo-nixos/#readme a project] maintained by blitz (Julian Stecklina), however, you can set up the TCC on NixOS just by importing an external module hosted on GitHub.

Doing this operation is quite straightforward, whether your system is configured to use [[Flakes]] or not.

=== Installation with Fakes ===

At the time of writing, the Flake interface is still experimental, but is stable enough to use it to import and enable this module in your system configuration.

Here you can find what you should add to your <source enclose="none">flake.nix</source> to install the TCC:

<source lang="nix">
{
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-22.11";
tuxedo-nixos = {
url = "github:blitz/tuxedo-nixos";
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
};

outputs = { self, nixpkgs, tuxedo-nixos }: {
nixosConfigurations = {
your-system = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
modules = [
./configuration.nix
tuxedo-nixos.nixosModules.default
{ hardware.tuxedo-control-center.enable = true; }
];
};
};
};
}
</source>

=== Installation without Flakes ===

In case you prefer to avoid enabling and using Flakes, the Tuxedo Control Center can be installed in the old and stable way:

<source lang="nix">
{ config, pkgs, ... }:
let
tuxedo = import (builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/blitz/tuxedo-nixos/archive/master.tar.gz");
in {
imports = [
tuxedo.module
];
hardware.tuxedo-control-center.enable = true;
}
</source>

=== Troubleshooting on Nixpkgs > 22.11 ===

As noted in an issue on the project's GitHub page<ref>'''Build broken on nixos-unstable #5''', Nov 13, 2022 - https://github.com/blitz/tuxedo-nixos/issues/5</ref>, blitz's TCC distribution is tested exclusively against Nixpkgs 22.11; as such, there might be errors when building it after overriding its Nixpkgs version to a newer one.

To avoid such problems, it can be useful to delete the <source lang="nix" enclose="none">inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";</source> line in the example above and to specify <source lang="nix" enclose="none">tuxedo-control-center.package = tuxedo-nixos.packages.x86_64-linux.default;</source> right after the enable instruction. Doing this, in fact, will build the TCC against the Nixpkgs version it is meant to.

== Tuxedo Keyboard ==

{{expansion|Tuxedo released an update that removes the old Kernel parameters and exposes the corresponding settings via a new SysFS interface}}

The keyboard installed on some TUXEDO Laptops has a variable color backlight that can be controlled via specific kernel parameters that, obviously, are not available on a generic NixOS installation.

The Kernel module that allows you to set these parameters, however, is already present on Nixpkgs and can easily be enabled by adding the <source lang="nix" enclose="none">hardware.tuxedo-keyboard.enable = true;</source> option to your NixOS configuration.

After specifying this setting, it is in fact trivial to add the <source enclose="none">tuxedo_keyboard</source> options to the Kernel commandline by using the <source lang="nix" enclose="none">boot.kernelParams;</source> config key as in the example below:

<source lang="nix">
{ pkgs, ... }:
{
hardware.tuxedo-keyboard.enable = true;
boot.kernelParams = [
"tuxedo_keyboard.mode=0"
"tuxedo_keyboard.brightness=25"
"tuxedo_keyboard.color_left=0x0000ff"
];
}
</source>

More options can be found in the [https://github.com/tuxedocomputers/tuxedo-keyboard/blob/c36cc1e2eae6c99a40c7fbe6676d3a1b36ca5555/README.md#kernel-parameter- official <source enclose="none">tuxedo_keyboard</source> docs.]
