Fri, 08/29/2008 - 05:05 — interferenza

I am tottally new in debian, wondering if there is any repository for debian... ad if so, where can i find them, and what i have to install after the update?
if not...can i ask what files i have to install to have the lcd working and the extra keys too?
Thanks :)

Re: Repository?

G1 to G18 will have keycodes after you add them in ~/.xmodmap (see man g15daemon for an example one to copy paste).
For more useful stuff you probably want g15macro added to it also.

Re: Repository?

Once you have g15daemon running you'll need to get some clients. lcdproc, g15stats, g15composer with some scripts are examples of clients you might try.

Re: Repository?

Yap, you can't run it as normal user, so no need trying.
Are you sure you got the uinput kernel module loaded?
try
modprobe uinput
g15daemon
and see if it starts then. If this works you will want to add this to the default startup.. i don't know where it is on debian :(

Re: Repository?

Installed thanks! But...i still have a problem (i apologize, i know i am annoy), when i use g15daemon command on my shell, i have this answer

HAL9000:/home/interferenza# g15daemon
An Error Occurred - 3 : ( Unable to configure the linux kernel UINPUT driver ) received

try to use it as normal user (not root) is impossible also

Just download the necessary .tar balls for running it (should be obvious by the first page if you go read it,i think) and extract -> ./configure -> make, now i don't know how you should install it, under ubuntu i heard someone say you should call make depcheck or something, to get it installed for the package manager to take care of.
But the universal make install should always work. Not as clean if you feel like ever removing it thou.

Just run make install if unsure, then it will be installed. (when you just run make it only compiles everything for you - but does not copy them to the right place)

Re: Repository?

To get the basic functionality you described you will need libg15, libg15render, and g15daemon. G15daemon uses the two libraries to get data from the keys and send data to the LCD.

Re: Repository?

Thanks steelside, i will just do the configure-make way then.
The problem is...i am not sure what files i need to download, can you help me?
I just want the extra key to work, the multimedia keys like they should, and the G1 to G18 like any other key, i dont need to make macros...
And the lcd monitor, use it as a clock should be enough...
I checked the homepage of g15tools.com, but all the sections looks like the same thing with different package to me :oops:

Re: Repository?

I don't think there's a repository, but i got no idea, a quick search should reveal if so.
Just download the necessary .tar balls for running it (should be obvious by the first page if you go read it,i think) and extract -> ./configure -> make, now i don't know how you should install it, under ubuntu i heard someone say you should call make depcheck or something, to get it installed for the package manager to take care of.
