As far as the "Ambient Effect Disabled" issue, I was able to reproduce this on my end. (pop_os 22.04)

It's definitely something with the Effects Proxy

$ eruption-fx-proxy daemon
 INFO  eruption_fx_proxy > Starting up...
 INFO  eruption_fx_proxy > Startup completed
 INFO  eruption_fx_proxy::backends > Found suitable backend: X11
The application panicked (crashed).
Message:  index out of bounds: the len is 0 but the index is 0
Location: eruption-fx-proxy/src/util.rs:89

Please consider reporting a bug at https://github.com/X3n0m0rph59/eruption
Aborted (core dumped)

Additionally, the Settings tab shows a flip between the Effects Proxy daemon states. Manually turning the Effects Proxy off through the gui works for removing the constant desktop popup. This doesn't seem to persist through reboots, so the longterm workaround may be to turn off the daemon completely-- I don't use the RGB features on my mouse (kone xp), so it's not something I need.

$ systemctl --user disable --now eruption-fx-proxy.service

Fixed: The logging issue appears to have been addressed in the latest release: https://github.com/X3n0m0rph59/eruption/releases/tag/v0.3.3

Update: Possibly not the best course of action-- My /var/log/syslog is ballooning with errors. I woke up to it taking up 800gb 😨

It continues to do so:

I was able to suppress the flashing "Ambient Effect Disabled" message by using the gnome profile switcher extension to uncheck "Show notifications on settings change".

This will, of course, not alert you to any settings changes, but it also hides the popup without fully disabling the fx proxy. Also, the /var/log/syslog ballooning is continuing with the fx proxy error index out of bounds posted earlier (now at a slower rate)
