Karabiner completely broken on macOS Big Sur

MperorM commented 4 years ago

It seems the beta broke Karabiner completely. The program opens and runs, but doesn't actually modify any keys.

Re-entering configurations does not fix it, nor does messing around with permissions to my knowledge.

markemer commented 4 years ago

Is there a branch with the DriverKit development? I'd love to help out if help is needed. Otherwise, I'll just wait for 13.0.0 - it's my penalty for being a developer and using the beta.

nikitavoloboev commented 4 years ago

There is no DriverKit branch yet in Karabiner Elements repo. But the DriverKit repo itself is here https://github.com/pqrs-org/Karabiner-DriverKit-VirtualHIDDevice.

Can read https://github.com/pqrs-org/Karabiner-DriverKit-VirtualHIDDevice/blob/master/DEVELOPMENT.md if you want to help out.

captaindooley commented 4 years ago

I built a tool that you can use to generate simple key remaps using hidutil until Karabiner gets fixed. I've always used Karabiner for a single key remap, so using hidutil is perfect for me. Inspired by @chuyeow.

https://hidutil-generator.netlify.app/

Code: https://github.com/amarsyla/hidutil-key-remapping-generator

I'm new to using hidutil... I used your tool but I'm having no luck with it. My application is remapping F-keys on an external keyboard to the standard Mac multimedia-type keys. Do I need to do anything different for it to work with an external keyboard or these specific keys?

oivindoh commented 4 years ago

There appears to be an active DriverKit branch now FWIW

bosr commented 4 years ago

There is indeed a lot of work, with a merge onto master + a beta released earlier today: https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/docs/macos-big-sur

@bosr

It doesn't seem to be working normally. I hope this capture was helpful.

My Mac version is 11.0 beta (20A5354i)

kennonb commented 4 years ago

@Hansanghyeon I'm seeing "Connection refused" with the new DriverKit beta in Big Sur as well. 🙁

I've tried everything I can think of, but not having any luck.

mrmurphy commented 4 years ago

Same here:

I just upgraded to beta 6. I've rebooted the computer, unloaded, and re-loaded the extension.

nikitavoloboev commented 4 years ago

https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/docs/macos-big-sur/

Read the important notice. It doesn't work on beta 6

saagarjha commented 4 years ago

It seems to me that the notice says that it will stop working after a restart, not that it doesn't work at all?

mrmurphy commented 4 years ago

Agreed, I followed the instructions here that come after:

You have to reinstall the driver by the following way every reboot on macOS Big Sur Beta 6.

which I think should mean that it works on beta 6 after following those instructions?

saagarjha commented 4 years ago

Looks like the driver is crashing?

this seems to be nullptr:

If you go up a frame, there's a a test and a load from it (the nullptr check, and the vtable call, from this code apparently) so that must have worked:

Beta 6 yeah, sorry, too excited!

gondalez commented 4 years ago

Thanks for the release, I can confirm this works on Big Sur beta 6 also 🏅

Initially I got a "something went wrong" error when trying to open the Security & Privacy prefpane to allow access. After jumping through some hoops I got it running.

The hoops, for future travellers:

Install Karabiner
Try to open Security & Privacy pref pane
error
Open Karabiner preferences
click deactivate driver
Open Security & Privacy pref pane
(no error)
Leave pref pane open
Click Activate in Karabiner preferences
Click allow in lower part of pref pane
Karabiner dialog disappears
Karabiner now working again 😌

Use version 12.93.0 posted above.

Thank you! @saagarjha @bosr

gregkerr commented 3 years ago

For me, @gondalez solution worked because I (1) uninstalled all traces of Karabiner, (2) THEN opened Security and Privacy AND LEFT IT OPEN, (3) installed Karabiner 12.95.0. Previously, if the Sec and Priv was not already open, the Karabiner installation would fail because opening Sec and Priv crashed.

vviikk commented 3 years ago

On Big Sur Beta 8, I needed to open Karabiner, check for beta updates, install, and that was it. Everything worked!

Oh and not sure if it's related, but if your on board keyboard is unresponsive, reset the PRAM (Cmd + Opt + P + R) and you're good to go. Yay. Everything seems to work. Even after reboot.

EDIT: Although after an update, you need to do the above steps from @gondalez again.

huangzonghao commented 3 years ago

Just upgraded to 11.0.1. My observation is that karabiner somehow completely disables the internal keyboard on macbook pro A1704. External keyboard works fine. I wasn't able to get the internal keyboard back running with karabiner. So I just temporarily removed karabiner's entries from the LaunchAgents directory. Upgrading major versions of mac os is always such a big pain..... Still remember clearly how sierra bloodily killed the original karabiner...

mathsmathsmaths commented 3 years ago

If you are doing only simple remapping, you can use Apple's built-in hidutil tool.

This was good enough for me (I only have 2 simple remaps - Caps Lock to Esc, and Esc to backtick). You can refer to this gist - I linked to an explainer blog post that I wrote from the gist in case you need a little bit more help.

This is useful except there is one simple remap that I cannot live with: fn to left mouse click. Any way to accomplish this? Thanks

You're able to shutdown/restart just fine? I literally cant turn my macbook off or sleep it, even after removing KArabiner. Its basically always on. No idea how to fix this. I'm on a macbook air M1 with big sur and the latest karabiner.
