Help command isn't too useful, I get this error when running -d
josh@josh-desktop:~$ pbpctrl -d
error: a value is required for '--device <DEVICE>' but none was supplied
For more information, try '--help'.
But I get this error when I provide my MAC address
josh@josh-desktop:~$ pbpctrl --device "B8:7B:D4:0A:A8:13"
error: 'pbpctrl' requires a subcommand but one was not provided
[subcommands: show, get, set, help]
Usage: pbpctrl [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>
For more information, try '--help'.
I'm using Ubuntu 22.04 with earbuds firmware version 5.9
Hmm, the error lines pretty much tell you what it expects. Also there's pbpctrl help
/pbpctrl --help
to get you a better overview of the commands.
Basically, the first error tells you that the -d
always needs to have a value, if you specify it. As indicated by the square brackets in the Usage:
line though, you don't need to explicitly specify it, at least most of the time.
And the second error tells you that you need a subcommand. For a list of subcommands, you can run pbpctrl help
.
So all in all, some examples would be
pbpctrl show software
pbpctrl get anc
You can also run pbpctrl
or pbpctrl <subcommand>
(e.g. pbpctrl get
) to see which subcomands or sub-subcommands there are. Or just append the --help
flag.
turns out I just couldn't read and forgot that
