[SOLVED] Lapsus applet

Solved - works when compiled with debugging symbols...

I'm trying to use lapsus, but the applet is empty...

[dante4d@arch ~]$ lsmod | grep asus
asus_laptop            15864  0 
led_class               3460  1 asus_laptop

[dante4d@arch ~]$ grep DAEMONS /etc/rc.conf
# DAEMONS
DAEMONS=(@syslog-ng @network @crond @hal @dbus @alsa @ptal-init @cups @lapsusd @portmap @nfslock @nfsd)

[dante4d@arch ~]$ id
uid=1000(dante4d) gid=100(users) groups=91(video),92(audio),93(optical),95(storage),100(users),101(lapsus),108(vboxusers)

That's right after boot. When I add the applet to kde bar, it shows laptop icon. When I enter settings, there are no entries in all tabs.

http://lapsus.berlios.de/ says

Even if no Asus or IBM features are found, Lapsus will still be able to control synaptics touchpad device and default channel of alsa mixer.

All devices:
    * Alsa mixer (volume control, mute/unmute)
    * Synaptics touchpad (on/off)

I've seen those entries once. Then also disappeared...

I also read http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=34012. No idea what the dbus stuff is

Re: [SOLVED] Lapsus applet

Could you run this command and post the reply?

dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=de.berlios.Lapsus /LapsusDaemon de.berlios.Lapsus.listFeatures

If there is an error check if the lapsusd is really running:

ps ax | grep lapsusd | grep -v grep

You can try killing it (as a root):

killall lapsusd

And start it again in non-daemon mode (again, as a root):

lapsusd --no-daemon

After that you can run the dbus-send command again to see what it prints.
Also, check whether asus laptop module is loaded:

lsmod | grep asus | grep laptop

[dante4d ~]$ lsmod | grep asus | grep laptop

Well, that ps thing... I have

[dante4d ~]$ grep -i daemons= /etc/rc.conf
DAEMONS=(@syslog-ng @network @hal @dbus @lapsusd !dhcdbd !networkmanager @netfs @portmap @nfslock @crond @alsa @ptal-init @cups)
[dante4d ~]$ id
uid=1000(dante4d) gid=100(users) groups=11(ftp),90(network),92(audio),93(optical),95(storage),96(scanner),100(users),108(vboxusers),109(lapsus)

so why it's not running?

And my lapsus applet is pretty empty.

Btw you were pretty quick with your reply, thanx .

Re: [SOLVED] Lapsus applet

I gave it a second try I was wondering about that floating point exception thing...

[dante4d ~]$ ps ax | grep lapsusd | grep -v grep
[dante4d ~]$ su
Password: 
[root dante4d]$ lapsusd --no-daemon
Removed stale lock /var/lock/lapsusd (pid 19659)

[1]+  Stopped                 lapsusd --no-daemon
[root dante4d]$ bg lapsusd
[1]+ lapsusd --no-daemon &
[root dante4d]$  ps ax | grep lapsusd | grep -v grep                            11053 pts/1    S      0:00 lapsusd --no-daemon
[root dante4d]$  dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=de.berlios.Lapsus /LapsusDaemon de.berlios.Lapsus.listFeatures
method return sender=:1.11 -> dest=:1.12
   array [
      string "config.asus.backlight_hotkey_circular"
      string "synaptics.touchpad"
      string "alsa.volume"
      string "asus.bluetooth"
      string "asus.led_touchpad"
      string "asus.wireless"
      string "asus.backlight"
      string "asus.display_lcd"
      string "asus.display_crt"
      string "asus.display_tv"
      string "asus.display_dvi"
   ]

I dunno what's gong on . The applet still doesn't work...

Re: [SOLVED] Lapsus applet

After some discussion on jabber with tanis I just recompiled lapsus from svn with debugging symbols and it started working . So I take it as solved for now. Thanx
