strange. can you try a clean build?
maybe the code is loading a stale config.h file.
git clean -fd
./build.sh
The CMake step should create a config.h in your bld directory. There the macro GIT_SHA1 should be defined.
You can also check the preprocessor output to analyze the problem.
cd bld/gui
make aboutdialog.i
vi CMakeFiles/keystroke-gui.dir/aboutdialog.cpp.i
See http://wstaw.org/m/2014/02/03/plasma-desktopwA3092.png
Tested with the Kubuntu 12.04/12.10/13.10 & KDE 4.8/4.9/4.11. Working without problems.
Noticed that - if you are wrapping the app to the deb package the dh_fixperms will overwrite the permissions and you will get the 'Cannot open device' error.
Workaround is to override the dh_fixperms or later set the permissions: http://imgur.com/9kTVRK2 .
Thank you of a good app...
ok the program works but only with the primary keyboard , i use a second keyboard usb and with that it doesn't work , instead using the primary keyboard it works.
i have a laptop :D solutions ?
i love the penguin popup when i type window's button heheh
sure,
the program uses the symlink /dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd to find the correct input device. This is your primary keyboard.
in main.c:43 there is this define
#define KBD_DEVICE "/dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd"
Replace it with your keyboard device you want to use and recompile.
That's the only sulution at the moment. In future version I'll add configuration options for that.
deosn't work
it is running but it doesn't do the job :S

can you better describe what is not working?
key logging? do you see intercepted keyboard events on konsole?
do you see the systray?
do you see the keyboard events at the bottom of the screen? The tool chooses your primary screen by default in the case you are working on a dual-head system.
You can log the output of the tool this way:
/usr/local/bin/keystroke-gui >log.txt 2>&1
then load the log to your favorite pastebin and post the link here.
ok the program works but only with the primary keyboard , i use a second keyboard usb and with that it doesn't work ,
solutions for secondary usb keyboard?
btw i love the penguin popup when i type window's button heheh , and thank you for the good idea and work.
The executable must be owned by root and the setuid bit must be set, because the application needs root privileges to open the keyboard device.
The cmake install step should do this for you:
sudo make install
./dist/bin/keystroke-gui
or try to set it manually
sudo chown root keystroke-gui
sudo chmod u+s keystroke-gui
I'll add a more detailed INSTALL file as soon as possible to clarify that problem.
And just to go for sure: Does the symlink /dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd exist on your system?
thx for your feedback
Thank you for explanation.
I was not sure how to build the executable, so I have do this (on Kubuntu 13.10 amd64):
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` ..
sudo make install

Sorry !
I have try it first on a PC with USB keyboard (same like User nowardev).
Now I have install it on a Notebook with internal keyboard and it works!
Thank you.
hi, nice to hear that it works for you too now.
With v0.0.2 you can now use the commandline option to change the device:
/usr/local/bin/keystroke-gui -d /dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:00:1d.0-usb-0:1.3:1.2-event-kbd
this is the temporary solution for now, so that you don't need to hack the C file.
in the next version I'll add a configuration option for that which will be store in the config file.

Sorry ! I have try it first on a PC with USB keyboard (same like User nowardev). Now I have install it on a Notebook with internal keyboard and it works! Thank you.
I have change in main.c the keyboard device file: #define KBD_DEVICE "/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:00:1d.0-usb-0:1.3:1.2-event-kbd" Now it works.
hi, nice to hear that it works for you too now. With v0.0.2 you can now use the commandline option to change the device: /usr/local/bin/keystroke-gui -d /dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:00:1d.0-usb-0:1.3:1.2-event-kbd this is the temporary solution for now, so that you don't need to hack the C file. in the next version I'll add a configuration option for that which will be store in the config file.
