cdobrich / btnx-config Goto Github PK

Howdy. Thank you very much for the work.

I have an Elecom HUGE trackball and a Logitech MX Master, neither of which are recognized by the application on Ubuntu 19.10. I have uninstalled the applications (btnx and btnx-config) for now, but can easily run tests if you are interested.

I'm using btnx to remap my mouse events for 1 year now. Lately I switched from Ubuntu to Debian Jessie on all my machines. On 2/3 machines btnx works perfectly, however on my home tower it isn't recognizing my Saitek R.A.T. 7 mouse (all other machines recognize the mouse).
As soon as I'm getting into the mouse recognition the only thing it finds is my keyboard (if I press anything on it).

Things I already tried:

• Set the mouse IDs manually with lsusb -> "Error: mouse handler IDs set but not found"
• Remove the config
• Rebuild btnx & btnx-config

lsusb: "Bus 002 Device 011: ID 06a3:0ccb Saitek PLC"
btnx_config:

Mouse
vendor_name = Saitek PCL
product_name = R.A.T. 7
vendor_id = 0x06a3
product_id = 0x0bd0
[...]

Any ideas?

Hi, I am trying to install btnx-config on a new Ubuntu machine, running Ubuntu 19.04. I ran this command prior to my installation attempt:
sudo apt install libdaemon-dev libglade2-dev libgtk2.0-dev

I then ran this command, again following the instructions:
./configure make
This is my output:

For Linux distributions that use sudo instead of root, implement accepting privilege escalation through sudo or some other service.

To avoid possibly problems, the GUI should handle Configuration Names if they spaces and special symbols.

Investigate removing escalated privilege requirements, by moving configuration files to accessible areas. This may not be possible however, if the daemon cannot be run in an unprivileged mode.

Thanks cdobrich for xbtn resurrection!

I followed your build instructions for xbtn & xbtn-config successfully on xubuntu 18.04.

The config & daemon work great, but the built-in help reports "Help Support not compiled" and refers to the now defunct http://www.ollisalonen.com .

I managed to build the help, but not sure how to make it available in the app...
sudo apt install librarian-dev
sudo apt install scrollkeeper
cd doc
make
make install

Any suggestions?

must replace EXEC=gksu btnx-config in /usr/share/applications/btnx-config with
Exec=sh -c 'pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS /usr/sbin/btnx-config'

When trying to compile BTNX-Config under a fresh install of Fedora 21 Linux 3.19.3-200.fc21.x86_64 today, I got this error message:

udev.c: In function ‘udev_create’:
udev.c:78:4: warning: too many arguments for format [-Wformat-extra-args]
    mouse_get_vendor_id(), mouse_get_product_id());
    ^
udev.c:84:4: warning: too many arguments for format [-Wformat-extra-args]
    mouse_get_vendor_id(), mouse_get_product_id());
    ^

I am fairly certain this has to do with some changes in the underlying system involving udev's transition to systemd. Ugh. I hope this is an easier fix than it looks like.

Ubuntu 13.10 on an ASUS M70SA. Ubuntu knows I have a MX Revolution mouse, but btnx-config won't allow me to set the 'Enable revoco' option, saying it isn't detected.

I have set the product field to "Logitech MX Revolution Mouse", but left the Vendor blank.

I have tried setting the Hot-plugging & WAIT_FOR_SYSFS udev options in all possible combinations but btnx-config still doesn't recognise my MX Revolution mouse.

I have, however, been able to add ALL the buttons using the "Detect mouse & buttons" function. (Though btnx-config hung up on me a few times whilst doing it, it eventually worked.)

Cheers,
Nap

Ever since I have updated one of my machines to Ubuntu 22.04, I cannot seem to get BTNX to work. It works fine elsewhere.
Apparently it installs correctly, I can open the GUI and play around. But the configuration is not applied.
