Startup error #45

Closed zezinho42 closed 4 years ago

zezinho42 commented 4 years ago

I followed all the readme, and got stuck with this error, maybe I need to load a kernel module?:

python3 bin/yoke Traceback (most recent call last): File "bin/yoke", line 80, in dev = yoke.Device(args.id, args.name, events=Service.events) File "/home/jose/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/yoke/service.py", line 73, in init self.device = uinput.Device(events, name, BUS_VIRTUAL) File "/home/jose/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/uinput/init.py", line 178, in init self.__uinput_fd = fd or fdopen() File "/home/jose/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/uinput/init.py", line 84, in fdopen return _libsuinput.suinput_open() File "/home/jose/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/uinput/init.py", line 70, in _open_error_handler raise OSError(code, msg) OSError: [Errno 19] Failed to open the uinput device: No such device

You are on the right track. Could you try running sudo modprobe uinput?

Have you run yoke-enable-uinput? I'm not sure if it even does anything with module loading, but it may be needed too.

That was it. Maybe it could be added to the README? Or even better, hint given by yoke when on input is found?

That's a good idea, thanks. I implemented a basic version of it in #46 . There is a room for improvement (e.g. colored terminal output), but right now yoke is rather stale and I'd prefer not to make any big changes to it (if anyone reading this wants to take over Yoke's development, though, go ahead - there is a lot that can be done for this project).
