Media Keys disabling

Open xdubx opened this issue 3 years ago • 13 comments

Hi,

have Pop OS 20.04. The problem is after the systemd services started the OS don't recognize the media keys any more and the volume slider on my Keyboard is the g815.

g810-led is a one shot command and don't handle your keys... How do you have installed it?

clone repo, make files. install.

Same issue with Ubuntu 18.04 (g213) - also the lighting is turned off after restart and can only enabled after plug the usb in again xev nor showkeys -k can detect the media keys after make install I removed the tool with make uninstall - reboot - and now it is working again.

Same issue. 5.10.18-1-Manjaro, Logitech G213 Prodigy

Edit: I uninstall the project then install g810-led-lib from aur and the media keys works.

Same issue on Kubuntu 20.10 with a Logitech G810 keyboard.

The issue is when g810-led is using the libusb interface, because the issue is that the media keys are connected to the same endpoint as the leds and when g810-led requests access to said endpoint, it will unload the kernel driver, which handles the media keys.

The solution is to use hidapi, which does not need exclusive access to endpoints like libusb does.

Is there a way to install hidapi mode via apt-install on ubuntu (mint) or is a manual installation needed?

Hidapi mode needs to be supported by g810-led, installing additional packages will not fix the issue.

zocker-160 avatar Mar 24 '23 12:03 zocker-160

Yes, that's clear. But there is an option for hidapi. Maybe I should rewrite my questions: Can I install g810-led via apt-get using the hidapi mode such as g810-led-hidapi? (similar to compiling by "mkae bin" without lsusb) If not, I need to uninstall, and run the manual installation by cloning the repo and buiilding it using hidapi.

Ah ok now I understand what you mean, sorry.

IIRC the Ubuntu repository has only one package available. If that is using libusb, then you will need to manually compile it.
