Input device not found

[evilvodun]

When i try to execute it on Manjaro Linux, Xfce 4.16 it tells me the "Input device not found"

I didn't found an answer for this issue no where. Someone has had this problem before?

[Izurii]

Could you please tell me which version of my software are you trying to use?

[evilvodun]

I am using the latest version 2.0.1

[mesiu84]

Got the same issue after upgrading to ubuntu 22.04

[mesiu84]

temporary solution:
I went back to version 1.8.90 and modified desktop file to start app with following parameter:
--no-sandbox %U
I used solution from here: Automattic/simplenote-electron#3044 version 1.8.90 was giving the same error. Latest version shows this error in terminal:

[16618:0425/235106.316762:ERROR:vaapi_wrapper.cc(1123)] vaQuerySurfaceAttributes failed, VA error: invalid parameter
[16618:0425/235106.316801:ERROR:vaapi_wrapper.cc(1070)] FillProfileInfo_Locked failed for va_profile VAProfileH264Main and entrypoint VAEntrypointVLD

and: input device not found in UI

it could be related to kernel upgrade, previously I was using 5.4 now in ubuntu 22.04 there is 5.15 and I can not start older kernel, initrd is not decompressing, don't know the reason yet

Can you paste your ls -lR /dev/input here?

Thank you! Can you tell me which version of Ubuntu you are using and the kernel version too?

[Izurii]

I just released a new version of the software which might help some users having the "Input device not found" error

https://github.com/Izurii/Lenovo-Y720-KB-Led-Controller/releases/tag/v2.0.2

[mesiu84]

Application start but the fn+space shortcut doesn't work and need to enable each profile directly from UI

[mesiu84]

Ubuntu 22.04 and kernel 5.17 but on 5.15 works the same

[Izurii]

Application start but the fn+space shortcut doesn't work and need to enable each profile directly from UI

So this time you didn't get the "Input device not found" error? Because if you didn't get the error, maybe I known what is going wrong:

1. As you didn't get the error, the input device was found, but maybe is the wrong one
2. Maybe the device found is the correct one, but the key codes that I'm using for capturing the hotkeys is, for some reason, wrong, I'll be taking a look at that possibility

[mesiu84]

no such error as above, only something like this:

but it starts and I'm guessing those errors are not related, or at least some of them
