HP envy with Leap motion under Linux

[user-253170517]

I got HP envy with leap motion-the embedded LM doesn't seem to work-any ideas?
NOTE I connected an external LM and it works just fine.

Our user-mode driver code doesn't support the embedded module in version v1.1.3 of the software. This happens to be fixed in our upcoming v1.2. We can't guarantee support for this configuration (nor an HP Envy hackintosh for that matter) going forward, but recently it was convenient for us to fix this anyway.

Please check your private messages for an experimental 1.2 preview build and see if that works.

just tried the Diagnostics tool and it does work
-my configuration, Linux Mint 16; 64 bit; MATE desktop
previously installed version 1.0.9+8411_Linux

Notes;
1. on previously installed version; ; I had to kill leapd not just "service leapd stop", this is fixed now
2. LeapControlPanel doesn't show icon in system tray

Many thanks for the prompt response-and Although I got a separate module I do hope you always be able to support this embedded configuration, on HP+Linux and other laptop vendors to come

Good to hear that the Debian/Mint compatibility is working as expected. Thanks to @Akishin.

It's a known issue that we don't have full try icon support with Qt 5. You can work around this by running :

LeapControlPanel --showsettings

to bring up the settings window directly. See the included README. Without the green icon it may be hard to diagnose problems, but you ought to be able to see the framerate in the Tracking tab.

To see if the daemon is detecting the device at all, run it directly :

service leapd stop
sudo leapd

and see if it mentions anything about detecting the Leap Motion embedded controller module. If not, well we may have some ideas for that.

I have the HP Envy 17-J057 cl with the embedded LM sensor and I restored my computer and lost my leap motion software/firmware. When I press the FN and Spacebar the light does not come on for the sensor.
