Re: Evdev python sharing script doesnt work anymore

How are you running the script? Does it print any errors when run in a shell?

Was systemd 247.1-1 in the update after which the script no longer worked?

I run script like:

sudo ./evdev /dev/input/by-id/usb-Razer_Razer_BlackWidow_Chroma_V2-if01-event-kbd &

and there is no errors, script runs just fine

Was systemd 247.1-1 in the update after which the script no longer worked?

I dont know I was updating whole system about 2GB of update

You can check /var/log/pacman.log to see what was in the update.

Re: Evdev python sharing script doesnt work anymore

Fixed it by changing it from:

sudo ./evdev /dev/input/by-id/usb-Razer_Razer_BlackWidow_Chroma_V2-if01-event-kbd &

to

sudo ./evdev /dev/input/by-id/usb-Razer_Razer_BlackWidow_Chroma_V2-event-kbd &

I don't know why it stopped working because I was using usb-Razer_Razer_BlackWidow_Chroma_V2-if01-event-kbd over half of year without any issues, but usb-Razer_Razer_BlackWidow_Chroma_V2-event-kbd works just fine.
