What devyl is saying is down load the zip from github and unzip it, run make. Then install it, so after unzipping it, on your terminal it would look like: you@yourComputer: /home/you/unzippedFile# ls Makefile panasonic-hbtn.c you@yourComputer: /home/you/unzippedFile# make ... displays stuff ... you@...

Oh and its not just a button on off thing, most things inside a computer are like signals, "button pressed", (micro seconds later) "button released" -- events. Its not simply a momentary button, (physically it is) but how the system reads it. It goes to a buffer and then is picke...

Sorry I fell off the grid, stuff got crazy. From what I can tell, when you push the button an event does happen, but not in acpi, it is going to the kernel. The stuff I downloaded from github didn't work as advertised and in fact messed with my power settings. I cannot completely log off, it goes in...

Took a break from study to look at the "Button" issue plaguing 19's. Did a little digging and I found: cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/PANASONIC_LAPTOP.html talking about modules which lead me to search my computer. I found Panasonic in: /sys/class/backlight /sys/devices/virtual/backlight /usr/...

I use KDE on most of my computers and anything in ~/.kde/Autostart runs when you login, so you can individualize logins.

it should be the same for xsessionrc, when you login, it starts.

The chmod +x makes the script executable.

I don't know of any other step needed.

I get distracted easily, I forgot to finish the post above. Say you want to change a key binding make a file in your home directory called ".xmodmaprc" without the quotes in this file save the keybinding like this: keycode 9 = XF86AudioMute to test it run this in a terminal: you@yourcomute...

So, I pulled the keymap in a format to feed it back in with xmodmap you@yourcomputer:~$ xmodmap -pke >> xmodmap.txt And the keys I mapped would really disable things I use frequently, Why Panasonic didnt use keycodes that were unused is beyond me. I listed them below if you want to know what they do...

I hope you did get a chuckle, :) I guess if I broke it down for someone that doesn't know: dd bs=4M if=debian\ wheezy\ 20150114-04\:58.iso of=/dev/sdb dd writes an image from a file to device or vice versa, it is powerful and DOES NOT have a safety. bs=4m is the size of chunks it transfers if=blah b...

If they want my Discrete Math or Compiler homework they can have it, heck, I'll swipe my finger for them! I back it up every night so at most I'd lose a day's notes. This is setup for note taking and there is nothing valuable on it. But it was the easiest way to have some security. Besides, pulling ...

Set up the finger print reader for log in security. It was really easy. The OS is Debian Wheezy but other systems should be similar. From a terminal: you@yourcomputer:~$ sudo apt-get install fprintd you@yourcomputer:~$ sudo apt-get install libpam-fprintd check that everything went ok: you@yourcomput...
