You were right, it was the slider. Thank you very much. Have a nice day.

There's nothing special about the super key compared to the other keys on the keyboard. Are you sure you haven't used the button/slider on the keyboard to put it into gaming mode, which disables the super key?

Hi, my pc is on Linux Mint and the super key does nothing. I was able to install g15daemon through synaptic and have added it to autostart and it IS running, the clock is showing on the lcd. However, the super key(Windows key) still does nothing - I am trying to use it for keyboard shortcuts. Help please.

I've already did it, I'm trying to get all things G15 in one place and droping fixes here and there. It's at https://gitlab.com/menelkir/. Also, I've posted my first attempts on g15daemon on freebsd, needs further investigation (I'll probably try again in the next weeks).

@Daniel - if you're already maintaining these ports then it's even easier to fork it! Just create a fork on GitHub/GitLab/etc., apply your patches, do a release and make all your versions pull from there. I had a closer look at the repo here and it looks like there have been no changes since 2011 so I think it's safe to say the project here is dead and forking it is the only way it will continue. If @steelside still has commit access then even better, as you can update the READMEs to point to your...

Well, nice to see, that thomeone wants to develop the nice program for users like us to improve the g15-daemon. i can say, if i can make the display work, the mediakeys nomore works under linux mint 20 so i can chose, wanting the volume chaning easy or use the display. i want to use both. and it would be nice, if the macrokeys would work so i welcome your new project.

I've got other fixes from gentoo and from other people too, and in the near future I'll have more patches incoming from my freebsd port (there's already 4, but I didn't had time to investigate further yet). I'll probably fork, that's sad because it'll be useful to just maintain the same name, since I'll not suppose to make huge modifications, since works perfectly fine already (one fix here and there). My G15 is still kicking, I'll probably buy another one when this one dies on me, lol

Is this regarding that these patches are needed but not included in the repo? https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/g15daemon/ I can apply them, but I don't have access to create a new release. I also don't have a g15 any longer, so I cannot even test the results.. I.e. if you just want smallish fixes pushed in I can be your mule. If you however want to continue developing in some way, then I do suggest to fork if the authors aren't responding.

It's not about having permission, it's about to start everything over under a new name. I've used patches that various distributions used, for example. And yes, I know that works well under Arch Linux, take a look who maintains the AUR port. I also maintain the freebsd port and at this moment I'm struggling with some details of g15daemon, this will take some time.

You don't need permission to fork it, just fork it. If you want to start releasing updates, send PRs back to the developers and if they don't get accepted, just tack something onto your project name to distinguish it, like g15daemon-menelkir or something, and release it under that name. Explain in the readme it's a fork and link back to the original and nobody will get confused. If your fork picks up enough steam, people will switch to it and start using it. Of course I'm not sure why you need to...
-
I've tried to contact the developers to fork it, but I don't want to change the name and start some kind of confusion. Should I keep the name and keep updating the version numbers? I'm planning to deal with all related g15 tools.

On my archlinux the media keys work out of the box and send the correct XF86AudioPlay events. For the other buttons i either map that key in my window manager to a command or look with xev what keycode it sent and remap it with xbindkeys to the key i wanted. For macro keys M1,M2,etc you need to run g15macro in the background. Do note that g15macro leaves the media keys in a slightly different state than default at least for me.

i am using my G15 / G510 keyboard, too. its the only board, which hat additional keys to program. its very useful on everyday-things for textediting and so on. and i want more to switch ofer to linux, but its annoying, if i pres the macro keys, and nothing happens... so ill try to figure out, how i can use the mediakeys and the macro keys and of course, the display, for linux mint 20. So i hope i can get it to work.

Hi SteelSide, thanks a lot, your reply really helped me a lot!

Hello, Cool to hear that someone is still using the G15! This is something you should most likely ask on the debian forums (if they exist, or stackexchange). You have a couple of options, both which will likely require some learning if you're entirely new to linux: 1) Learn how to rebuild .deb packages from currently available sources 1b) Get someone else to build it from source ;) 2) Learn how to build from source I'm unfortunately not a debian user and can't really help much more than point to...

Hi, it's 2020 and I'm still using my g15 keyboard. I recently switched from windows to linux for my home desktop machine. I'd like to use the display of my g15 keyboard on my debian (stable) installation. Unfortunately, debian dropped the support in their apt sources in the current stable release (debian 10). I guess as there will be no future updated to g15daemon it is not necessary to install it from some debian sources and rather install it from scratch. That's the point where I need some help,...
