input remapper stops working after some time?` #1026
Comments
This shouldn't happen. What is the output of:
? |
And
|
|
I don't think |
|
What did you try? |
to be honest i dont remember well, its already some weeks ago. the goal was to autostart input-remapper without having to enter the root password at boot time. tried different tricks. couldnt get it to work. and i think this stop working started afterwards. this runs on ubuntu kde. |
those pop up after some time. Is your system hibernating or something? I'd suggest reinstalling input-remapper cleanly and then lets try to figure out why you have to enter your password after boot.
Looks broken, what is inside that file? |
|
no the computer runs 24/7, just sometimes reboot after updates |
already tried this:sudo dpkg --purge input-remapper and then sudo dpkg -i input-remapper-2.0.1.deb |
could my usb hub disconnect from time to time? i guess this would turn off the injecting? |
You can check if you successfully removed input-remapper from your system, if nothing pops up in
anymore. Also check that any autostart entries are removed in kde. remove |
This happens 3 seconds later:
Unplugging a device and then connecting it shortly afterwards does not trigger autoloading. This is a safety feature, so that people can avoid the autoloading if their preset screws their keyboard up. So they can unplug and replug their keyboard to regain control of their system. |
Also see https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper/blob/main/inputremapper/daemon.py#L78 the threshold is 15 seconds |
ok, i am afk for now, will try it later, thanks a lot for your help. |
i removed eveverything in /usr and disabled autostart and rebooted and reinstalled. so i am waiting to see if its working now. |
one thing i was surprised is at reinstall the program had still my mappings? so the config files had to be still around? in /home .config i guess? is this a problem? |
just lost the injecting again. |
i just realized the is an autoload option? wasnt activated for both mappings. well i will see if it changes anything. |
no just again lost the mapping. |
had two entrys input-remapper in /home/user1/.config. the second one was called input-remapper-2? i deleted the first one and renamed the second. |
ok, the input-remapper-2 appeared again. i guess its made from the programm. |
.config/input-remapper-2 is for input-remapper version 2 |
I guess that was to be expected, if your devices disappear randomly. are you still asked for your password for input-remapper after booting? |
yes, but this has always been the case? after boot on the desktop pop ups a window for entering the password to run input-remapper. not anymore because i disabled autostart. but if i start it now it also wants my password. should it be otherwise? the whole trouble started wit me trying to autostart input-remapper. for this i tried to disable the need for the password but i failed. just appeared this strange behavoir of stopping to work randomly. |
When you start it, it should ask for a password. Autoloading should not ask for a password. |
i tried a few other things. like deleting entries in .config and in the config files. now its almost two days without dropping the injections. so i cant believe its working now but i hope maybe its alright. thanks again for your support. |
i think it has worked now for three days. it seems the problem is resolved. unfortunately i cant say what the solution was. like i said i deleted some entrys in .config so it seems something was amiss there. just rebooted, i will see if its still working flawless. |
Hi, sorry i am new to this whole github thing. so excuse me if i make something wrong in posting in here :).
i am running ubuntu 22.04 and use input-remapper since a few years already. was always happy with it. it stills work but since i tried different stuff to autoload it at boot without entering password it acts differently. at boot the window pops up i enter the password and start the mouse and keyboard, injections its called i believe? works alright but after some time, i have not managed yet to pinpoint a duration, it stops to work. my mapping for mouse and keyboard are gone and i have to manually restart the software just like at boot time. so any help in solving this problem would be very welcome. thanks.
