Autokey and current64

charlie_lab · 07-21-2009, 07:36 AM

hello,

Everytime i try to start autokey i get this message:

Code:

Error starting interface. Keyboard monitoring will be disabled.
Check your system/configuration.
Unable to connect to EvDev daemon:
[Errno 2] Bestand of map bestaat niet

If I look with lsmod the evdev deamon is working.
Anyone a clue how to solve this ?

So, I tested this now with xorg-server 1.6.1 and hope it's the same with the newer version

If you compile autokey itself the way I suggested it in another thread, one important file is not copied. In the source folder there is "autokey.init" (EDIT: it's in the subfolder "debian"). Copy it to /etc/rc.d/rc.autokey, make it executable (chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/rc.autokey) and append this to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:

Code:

if test -x /etc/rc.d/rc.autokey; then
   /etc/rc.d/rc.autokey start
fi

Apparently autokey needs some kind of daemon to connect to evdev.

Hello,

Thank you, that did the trick.
But unfortunately autokey doesn't work properly on Enlightenement.

Pity.

Hi there,

I note that titopoquito mentions compiling instructions for AutoKey, presumably for Slackware, in another thread. I can't find that thread; this is the only thread that results from searching "autokey compile." Could you point to that thread, or recreate the instructions here?

Thanks,

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

I have not longer autokey running nor have I worked much with it at that time - was kind of "sounds interesting" for me but nothing I really dived into.

The "other thread" was here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...roblem-741447/
