Until the software is patched, please follow these instructions to get it 
working:
http://code.google.com/p/logkeys/wiki/Documentation#Empty_log_file_or_%27Couldn%
27t_determine_keyboard_device&
i.e. you will have to run logkeys with --device=event6 switch (or whatever 
event interface your device is on).

Issue 70 has been merged into this issue.

Tried:
 "touch test.log; sudo logkeys -d event5 --start --output test.log"

 "touch test.log; sudo logkeys -d /dev/input/event5 --start --output test.log"

(also tried other event numbers from 0 to 31, but "sudo cat /dev/input/event5" 
is the only one that seems to show something).

But still no luck.

Any ideas ?

does `sudo cat /dev/input/event5` output when you move your mouse? as per 
/proc/bus/input/devices above, it seems event5 is connected with your USB mouse 
rather than keyboard.

I don't know. perhaps it's got something to do with issue 60?

`sudo cat /dev/input/event5` does not output anything when I move my mouse.
The configuration at this moment is a laptop with a usb keyboard and a usb 
mouse.

I have tested `sudo cat /dev/input/event4` and it outputs the keys from the 
laptop keyboard. Still no luck with "touch test.log; sudo logkeys -d 
/dev/input/event4 --start --output test.log"

From strace I get this (if you think it may be important I can post the hole 
output of strace):

access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK)      = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
connect(6, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/var/run/nscd/socket"}, 110) = -1 ENOENT 
(No such file or directory)

stat("/usr/local/sbin/logkeys", 0x7fff2e931f80) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
stat("/usr/local/bin/logkeys", 0x7fff2e931f80) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
stat("/usr/sbin/logkeys", 0x7fff2e931f80) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)

connect(5, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/var/run/nscd/socket"}, 110) = -1 ENOENT 
(No such file or directory)

ioctl(5, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, 0x7fff39792b40) = -1 ENOTTY

yes, please do attach the whole strace dump in a file. 
also, what does "uname -a" say about the kernel you are using?

Original comment by kernc...@gmail.com on 24 Aug 2011 at 10:34

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
usr@laptop:~$uname -a
Linux laptop 2.6.38-11-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 29 19:02:55 UTC 2011 
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

May be it is important, have test it with Unity and with KDE v4.6.5

After a clean Ubuntu 10.4 re-install, everything is working ok now.

This happens to me as well. I get a completely empty log file (0 bytes) even 
when I supply the device ID directly. I do `sudo logkeys -s -d event0`; it 
prints nothing and the exit code is 0.

I'm on arch linux, `Linux firefly-desky 3.1.4-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Nov 29 
08:55:45 CET 2011 x86_64 AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1055T Processor AuthenticAMD 
GNU/Linux`.

I posted my /proc/bus/input/devices etc. here:

by fixing related issues (issue 60 and issue 42), I think this can be closed.
see those issued for an explanation.
