Alienware 14 (Mid 2013) Ubuntu 15.04 switch off lights
I am a new Ubuntu user and have 15.04 version. I am wondering if there is any thing that I could do to switch off the lights of my keyboard (AlienFX).
I have already tried the two (I do not if is right call them software) pyalienware and alienwarekbl. However neither one or those work (perhaps I am doing something wrong). I can install them, but when I click on the icon to run the app it does not works. If there is other way to turn off the lights this would be great.
PS: Unfortunately I do not have Windows on this laptop. However with Ubuntu, until now, everything works well even better than Windows (when I had it installed at the time).

You can install pyAlienFX and run it with sudo from console. I managed to turn off the lights that way.... but can't turn it on again without rebooting.
I've the Alienware m14x r1.
