[Bug]: Installation is broken on Garuda, also the AUR package does not work. #258
Description
Describe the bug
I tried first the AUR package:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/asus-numberpad-driver-b7402-git
I have installed all dependencies, even the AUR package for python-smbus2 (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-smbus2), I have installed the g533 package, but after enabling the service via:
sudo systemctl restart asus_numberpad_driver.wayland.serviceIt crashed:
sudo systemctl status asus_numberpad_driver.wayland.service

Is there a way that you could improve the AUR package if this is maintained by you, and fix the qdbus issue by calling this instead??:
if [ "$DESKTOP_SESSION" == "plasma" ]; then
if ! command -v qdbus >/dev/null 2>&1; then
sudo pacman -S --noconfirm --needed qt5-tools
fi
fior what I like:
[ "$DESKTOP_SESSION" == "plasma" ] && ! command -v qdbus >/dev/null 2>&1 && sudo pacman -S --noconfirm --needed qt5-toolsIt was not a good first experience installing this package.
Expected behavior
user friendly
