Re: [ANNOUNCE] External Keyboard Support - extkbd
 

I see.

Boy, what is written on very first page on this thread is following

UPDATE: Seems that there is a conflict with bt-hid-scripts package, will try to resolve it and will upload fixed version. For now you should deinstall bt-hid-scripts before installing extkbd.

re error message when you start extkd - that is normal, once you configure at least one keyboard , the message will not appear anymore.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] External Keyboard Support - extkbd
 

Look at first page, section "UNINSTALLING: "

Re: [ANNOUNCE] External Keyboard Support - extkbd
 

thanks!!! hope you resolve this issue and upload a fixed version soon.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] External Keyboard Support - extkbd
 

Mostly worked for me, although one time I had to delete and re-pair my BT keyboard to get any characters to go through, and the control panel crashed the first time I tried to access it.

what do you meen "crashed"?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] External Keyboard Support - extkbd
 

It flashed up an error on one of those gold popup bars very quickly about not being able to find some file (I remember it had /hal/ in it's path) I didn't have time to read it all. So it never left the settings window when I clicked on External Keyboard. But when I clicked it again it worked.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] External Keyboard Support - extkbd
 

"Cannot open /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/99-x11-external-keyboard.fdi - no such file or directory" - the message is normal, it appears if you do not have any configured keyboards, so no crash ;)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] External Keyboard Support - extkbd
 

Found one other problem - after the first reboot after installing the app, the custom internal keyboard layout I used to have has been reset to default. I'm guessing the default layout file was packaged with extkbd, maybe it should use the existing one instead.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] External Keyboard Support - extkbd
 

When trying to reconnect keyboard error message appears. Something "bluez.org" doesn't exist.

What is that?interface looks nice by the way.
