input-remapper Can’t autoload Logitech USB Receiver rules when I insert USB Receiver

When I start the system with inserted Logitech USB Receiver loads its rules. But if I eject it and insert again, rules stop working.

The issue can be fixed by running GTK app and load rules manually.

Testing the setup

input-remapper-control --command hello

Connected to the service
Daemon answered with "hello"
Done

sudo pkill -f input-remapper-service && sudo input-remapper-service -d & sleep 2 && input-remapper-control --command autoload, are your keys mapped now?

Yes

(while the previous command is still running) sudo evtest and search for a device suffixed by "mapped". Select it, does it report any events? Share the output.

Yes

sudo udevadm control --log-priority=debug && sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && journalctl -f | grep input-remapper, now plug in the device that should autoload

Adding a quote of my comment on a possibly related issue as it might help with yours.

This is definitely not the Right Way (tm) to do this, but it works for my use case with a single bluetooth device being remapped and input-remapper sometimes failing on reconnect. If you have multiple devices being remapped, this will cause an interruption whenever a device disconnects. Also, it's quite hacky as I didn't spend a lot of time learning the codebase ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I updated inputremapper/injection/event_reader.py to send stop_all and autoload commands to the daemon upon device disconnect. Here's the diff with added lines identified with +'s, surrounding lines (without "+") are provided for context:
# Added lines for inputremapper/injection/event_reader.py


# ---------------- import daemon methods ----------------
from inputremapper.input_event import InputEvent
from inputremapper.logger import logger

+# Load daemon methods to send commands upon device disconnect
+import inputremapper.daemon as ir_daemon
+

class Context(Protocol):


# ---------------- send `stop_all` and `autoload` to daemon ----------------
                loop.remove_reader(self._source.fileno())
                logger.debug("read loop stopped")
+                # Connect to daemon and send "stop_all" and "autoload" commands
+                daemon = ir_daemon.Daemon.connect()
+                await daemon.send_stop_all()
+                await daemon.send_autoload()
                return

            events_ready.clear()
Modified event_reader.py attached, had to rename to event_reader.py.txt because GH restricts attachment file types.

Sorry, I am very inexperienced Python user

Yeah, it’s definitely a circular dependency. More confused at how I’m NOT getting an error than how you are.

Could go a different path (event passing), but having trouble keeping it simple. The device disconnect event may not be “shared with the team”. Still a total noob to the codebase and asyncio.

Will see what I can figure out, but no promises.

Will see what I can figure out, but no promises.

Thanks. Take your time, I report this issue mostly as feedback, I have a workaround (by re-running the app).

Your app is amazing and makes my life everyday better (as a dad I often have only one had and can do copy-paste with extra buttons of the mouse).

Mar 29 '24 19:03 ai

I just found that the problem is happening only with USB received switching off.

Bluetooth disconnection, etc doesn’t have this issue.
