Helper doesn't receive any commands #359

Howdy. I've used this when it was named key-mapper to remap the mouse buttons on this trackball before, but I'm on a new system now and no dice.

I'm using one of these: https://www.gamingtrackball.com

When I start input-remapper-gtk, the GameBall has a mouse icon next to it but the drop-down to select what I'm mapping is grayed out and only shows "keyboard":

Clicking the "Change Key" button doesn't enable that button. Clicking mouse buttons in the text field doesn't detect them or let me remap them.

Here's the output of sudo input-remapper-gtk -d:

I'm no expert, but it looks like the GameBall is being detected as a keyboard and a mouse? Don't know if that's the issue, but I'm suspicious.

I saw in another issue that you recommended someone try sudo rm /tmp/input-remapper* -r. I was just cargo culting, though; it didn't work for me.

Let me know how I can help!

yes, many physical devices are reported as various kinds of devices. This especially makes a lot of sense with mmorpg mice, their thumb buttons on the side are usually numpads, which is a feature of keyboards. input-remapper handles those cases and hides that complexity from the user.

is it working for other devices? Like your regular keyboard?

drhayes commented 2 years ago

Weird! Nope, sure isn't. I tried to remap the "A" key and it's not picked up either.

Here's the debug output of me doing that:

I'm on i3, by the way.

When switching devices via the dropdown, do you ever see this log:

20:46:23.753605 2934711 GUI-Helper DEBUG helper.py:105: Received command "USB Optical Mouse"
20:46:23.753742 2934711 GUI-Helper DEBUG helper.py:160: Starting reading keycodes from "USB Optical Mouse"

?

drhayes commented 2 years ago

No, I don't see those when I change the drop down.

sezanzeb commented 2 years ago

Try sudo pkill -f input-remapper and then start the gui again. Maybe for whatever reason a helper process is stuck and continues to read all the commands in the background.

sezanzeb commented 2 years ago

If you didn't already do it, ps aux | grep input-remapper would be interesting first to check if there is actually a process visible

drhayes commented 2 years ago

The pkill command didn't stop the problem.

Here's the results of the ps check:

(oh, and thank you very much for helping me with this!)

sezanzeb commented 2 years ago

I guess I'll need to add more verbosity to this. But I'm a bit busy

In case you know some python and are interested in debugging this: Maybe the helper is stuck at this call to select or something: https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper/blob/main/inputremapper/gui/helper.py#L101, or maybe it actually never reaches this point at all

This might be a somewhat difficult problem to figure out unfortunately. Especially if something in the pipe is broken

(oh, and thank you very much for helping me with this!)

You are welcome!

sezanzeb commented 2 years ago

Are tests passing on your machine? Please clone the repo and run python3 tests/test.py unit.test_ipc.TestPipe. It should say "OK" at the bottom. If not, please share the output of that

drhayes commented 2 years ago

No OK, it says:

❯ python3 tests/test.py unit.test_ipc.TestPipe
Traceback (most recent call last):

    import psutil

After I installed psutil and stopped my running service I re-ran the tests and got "OK":

Thanks. Please try the helper-wont-receive-commands branch out, it contains more logs and I rearranged things a tiny bit

drhayes commented 2 years ago

Okay, so I think I'm running the updated service. I'd already cloned the repo and I ended up running sudo python3 setup.py install in my local repo on the new branch, then enabling and restarting the service via systemctl. Let me know if that should do it.

I then ran sudo ./bin/input-remapper-gtk -d and got this:

Looks like bad news -- after "Waiting for commands" I don't see the other new log messages.

Here's relevant syslog:

I wasn't sure what was relevant, but the whole thing was short so there ya go.

I wasn't aware I had a config for it in ~/.config/input-remapper but here's that:

{
    "version": "1.4.2",
    "autoload": {},
    "macros": {
        "keystroke_sleep_ms": 10
    },
    "gamepad": {
        "joystick": {
            "non_linearity": 4,
            "pointer_speed": 80,
            "left_purpose": "none",
            "right_purpose": "none",
            "x_scroll_speed": 2,
            "y_scroll_speed": 0.5
        }
    }
}

There are presets, but they're empty of mappings.

Whew! Let me know if you need anything else, and no rush -- this is totally convenience for me on a temporary system while I get some home computer and work computer stuff straightened out.

sezanzeb commented 2 years ago

Pushed some more stuff, I experimentally replaced the call to select.select with a loop that keeps checking if a command is available. Please try that out

drhayes commented 2 years ago

So the good/bad news is that I got my new system and it works -- a little unexpectedly, but it works. I have to type in BTN_MIDDLE in the text field underneath where I click the "Change Key" button, and change the dropdown to "mouse", but it's working for me on the new system just great!

I'll plug in the old system later today and report back from the latest change.

sezanzeb commented 2 years ago

please print the permissions of the files in /tmp/input-remapper-*/ for the broken system

drhayes commented 2 years ago

This computer completely crashed and the new system does not have this problem. Sorry I lost the repro environment for this bug! You can probably close it.

sezanzeb commented 2 years ago

In your case the helper receives commands, this is a different issue. I moved this to https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper/issues/403
