If you run the install script again, does it say "The panasonic_hbtn module is already installed." ?

or does this return anything:

Code: Select all

lsmod|grep panasonic_hbtn

navigated to "/home/ed/panasonic-hbtn" and ran sudo ./install.sh

It installed and then asked if I wanted to overwrite '/usr/local/bin/rotate'

I typed the letter y and hit enter. Now acpi_listen returns stuff for all the buttons. I could have sworn I ran the install script before, but I guess I didn't. Oops.

Here's a screenshot of me trying to assign the button. I was not successful. 99% sure I did it very incorrectly.

The terminal at the bottom shows the acpi_listen output for the rotate button.

I'm not sure if the Property field should be just XF86RotateWindows without the /commands/ path. Honestly I've rarely used the xfce settings editor.

instead of acpi_listen, try

Code: Select all

xev
in a terminal then hit the rotate button. It should output several lines, though we are looking for something that looks like this:

Code: Select all

state 0x0, keycode 161 (keysm 0x1008ff74, XF86RotateWindows), same_screen Y
which would confirm the button event is assigned the XF86 keyboard symbol.

Just tried xev and the rotate button did not produce an event at all.

So I tried acpi_listen again and now it doesn't have any output either.

A few steps back it is, then. I'd check to see if the module is loaded with

Code: Select all

lsmod | grep panasonic_hbtn
If that does nothing, then I'd go for a manual install of the module and check for errors.

cd into the directory where you unzipped the files, then:

Code: Select all

make clean
make
insmod panasonic-hbtn.ko

Looks like some kernel 4.4 funkiness. Unfortunately I haven't migrated to that yet on any of my systems so I can't test anything at the moment. I am guessing that aufs support ain't right. Welcome to the bleeding edge!

Does your package manager have any variations of linux-headers-4.4.0-21-* as available downloads?

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-cache search linux-headers
I know at this point that this could be annoying to try to fix and may go beyond your level of patience as each thing we try or fix brings up other obstacles. Personally I am used to this kind of stuff but don't worry if you want to quit now and do something more important with your life.


I'll be here if you want more help, though.

This is kind of like that other CF-19 thread where Karl Klammer was trying to port navit to OpenBSD.

I'll be here if you want more help, though.
I'm down to work on this as long as people are willing to help me. I'm hoping to write a tutorial and make a video once I get it figured out. The harder it is to do, the more useful the tutorial will be.

I ran apt-get update then apt-cache search linux-headers and got this:

Good man.

And we are masochists.




Need to be sure of your kernel version

Code: Select all

uname -a
Also, does this file exist?

Code: Select all

ls /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/include/linux/version.h
And is linux-libc-dev installed:

Code: Select all

dpkg --list  linux-libc-dev
And what version of gcc

Code: Select all

dpkg --list  gcc
