So, I recently decided to try to get my fancy RGB motherboard displaying something other than this default peach color that it has out of the box, and probably change the colors of the fans on my case. I could just turn the lights out, but where's the fun in that?
I mention this because it's here I encountered a problem, because the RGB software doesn't support Linux. Fortunately, someone has a solution on GitHub. It says that I need a copy of Visual Studio 2012, because the project files were built on VS 2012, update 5. I was able to download both installation methods for this version without issue, but I encounter a problem when attempting either method. The executable installer says that it requires .net to be installed for the installation to actually go through. This perplexes me slightly, because I went through the trouble of installing .net already, due to needing it for various other tasks. So, I'm not sure why it says that, but it leaves me with one more option, the .iso file.
When I attempt to mount the iso file in the terminal using the mount command, I get the following error:
mount: /media/usb: special device mu_visual_studio_2012_update_5_x86.iso does not exist.
I've searched stack overflow, and done some googling, but I can't seem to figure out why it doesn't want to mount the iso. I kept the name of the iso the same, and I entered the name of the iso by using tab in the terminal, so I know it's not a spelling error.
This is a mostly fresh installation of Manjaro, so I'm not sure if I need any additional software, or if there's an app for mounting iso files. Either way, I'm a bit stumped at the moment. If anyone here has a solution, I'm all ears. Apologies in advance if there isn't enough information - I'm new to Linux.
