Custom Layout resets after reboot/plug out

[Liemaeu]

I set up individual colours of the keys of my BlackWidow Chroma. Everything worked fine, until I updated openrazer to version 3.0.

Since then, the custom layout of RazerGenie gets reseted after a reboot or when I plug the keyboard out and back in.

(I'm not sure if this issue is related to RazerGenie or openrazer)

I'm on Kubuntu 20.04

Same here. After Openrazer v3.0.1 update, I can't seem to keep the custom color layout after reboot.
However, after uninstalling the previous version, I can't install razergenie v0.9.0 from AUR. Perhaps there's a problem with the package.

With OpenRazer 3.0.1, it is possible to turn off the feature that resets the custom layout on start-up:

In ~/.config/openrazer/razer.conf, set:

restore_persistence = False

(See also: openrazer/openrazer#1484)

I'm not sure what exactly worked, but I tried "restore_persistence = False" by itself and didn't work.
I then changed "sync_effects_enabled" to False. While still leaving persistence to False under the startup section.
Seems to be working after reboot. Its working under RazerCommander, since razergenie is not installing on my system.
Hopefully it works for others with my similar system.

Is this still an issue?

I have the same problem.

I just started using razergenie 1.0.0 and openrazer-daemon 3.5.1. I set up my custom layout but after unplugging/plugging it defaults to Lighting off and my custom settings disappeared.

I tried setting to False restore_persistence in .config/openrazer/razer.conf but nothing changed.

Is there a way to save and manually restore the custom layout with razergenie?

I have a Huntsman FWIW.

With restore_persistence = False I can set a custom layout in RazerGenie, unplug keyboard, plug keyboard back in and the custom layout persists. Not sure how it's different for you.

what information can I provide to help debug this issue?
