[SOLVED] Logitech G11/Logitech G15 keyboard extra keys

[waltons_pacman]

I apologise for my ignorance...but what if I don't have a clean install?

one of two things:
1) uninstall what you do have that is relavent to this operation.
2) try to install anyways, and you will get the "PACKAGE_NAME_HERE is already the latest version. operation aborted message."

the "from a clean install of Ubuntu" means that without any previously installed packages, this was all i had to do to get it to work, which means this should be all you need to get it to work.

Hi,
I have followed your steps and noticed that your links are not quite right (G15Render links to libusb). Here is the correct link:
G15Render (1.2).

As a result, I installed this after libusb and before G15Deamon (where it told me I need G15Render), so is this the right order?
libg15 (1.2.6)
libusb (0.9.3)
G15Render (1.2)
g15daemon (1.9.5.3)
g15macro (1.0.3)


Anyways, I did not even get to the end. When I ran sudo make install while installing G15Daemon, I got this error:

In function ‘open’,
    inlined from ‘uf_conf_write’ at utility_funcs.c:359:
/usr/include/bits/fcntl2.h:51: error: call to ‘__open_missing_mode’ declared with attribute error: open with O_CREAT in second argument needs 3 arguments
make[2]: *** [utility_funcs.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/markstar/Progs/g15daemon-1.9.5.3/g15daemon'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/markstar/Progs/g15daemon-1.9.5.3'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I would start over, just to make sure, but I don't really know how (and where to delete the files I just installed.

I tried some more to get this to work with no luck.

I repeated the steps (but without removing the previous versions - I don't know how to do that), this time g15daemon gave me this at the end:

tribute warn_unused_result
utility_funcs.c:376: warning: ignoring return value of ‘write’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result
In function ‘open’,
    inlined from ‘uf_conf_write’ at utility_funcs.c:359:
/usr/include/bits/fcntl2.h:51: error: call to ‘__open_missing_mode’ declared with attribute error: open with O_CREAT in second argument needs 3 arguments
make[1]: *** [utility_funcs.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/markstar/Progs/g15daemon-1.9.5.3/g15daemon'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

I got no clue how to fix that, so I might just leave it be for now and be content with getting at least some shortcuts to work.

I will try again tomorrow with a fresh install of 8.10.

I'm getting the same issue as markstar on a clean install of ibex. Anyone know how to fix it?

It appears that the newer versions of gcc are more strict in the way the "open" function is called which is causing this problem on one line in the utility_funcs.c file.

To fix, go to line 359 in the file "<yoursrcdir>/g15daemon-1.9.5.3/g15daemon/utility_funcs.c" and change the following line:

config_fd = open(filename,O_CREAT|O_RDWR|O_TRUNC);

to

config_fd = open(filename,O_CREAT|O_RDWR|O_TRUNC,0664);

This will allow g15daemon to compile.
