The same with me. Used to work well in Ubuntu 12.04 but after the upgrade to 
12.10 the problem as described happens with me.

Also had this problem but latest git version seems to fix it.  The version in 
ubuntu's repository appears to be older.

I have the same problem, the log file is empty. I'm using ubuntu 12.10 32bit

Original comment by nguyen.x...@gmail.com on 15 Feb 2013 at 1:20

[GoogleCodeExporter]

same problem Ubuntu 12.04 64bit (logkeys-0.1.1a)

Original comment by cimarron...@gmail.com on 11 Apr 2013 at 4:08

[GoogleCodeExporter]

same here, logkeys version: 0.1.1a, Ubuntu 12.10, Linux 3.5.0-27.

cat /dev/input/event2 shows something, so I start
logkeys --start -o /tmp/test.log --device=event2
The logfile is created, but zero bytes long. No errors anywhere, logkeys return 
with exit code 0.

I tried the latest git version, too (today is 2012-04-25), but it did not work 
either.

I think issue 84 is similar.
