Most Keys Log Accurately - Some Keys Are Broken! :/

[ultrablast]

Hi Folks. If I placed this request in the wrong area, my apologies. Please re-direct to the right area if necessary. I borrowed one of the earlier posts as a template to provide the data necessary to help repair keymappings that aren't working correctly on a newer model DELL Ultrabook laptop.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Start Logkeys (and kill logkeys as needed) No problems there!
2. Type something I would expect to properly translate in the .log but the keymapping seems to be incorrect. (Best guess so far!)
3. Scrambled output in the "github.log.txt" file output from logkeys.
4. Ask the experts!

What is the expected output? >> Just typing something for github to help with!
What do you see instead? >> Huat typibf aonetgif dor fitguv to gekp witg!
github.log.txt

What version of the product are you using? >> 0.1.1b-svn
On what operating system? >> Ubuntu 16.04

Please provide any additional information below.
Attach contents of /proc/bus/input/devices >>DONE<<
devices.txt

Include the output of command dumpkeys -n > dumpkeys.output >>DONE<<
dumpkeys.output.txt

I have no problem reading the dumpkeys.output in gedit.

Let me know if I need to provide anything else to help troubleshoot this situation.
Anything helps!

Warm Regards

Anybody out there? lol

I am seeing the same thing, also on Ubuntu 16.04.

I reckon logkeys was originally coded for a pc105 laid out keyboard and it may not support pc104 (or other) keyboards without some rewriting. If you're using en_US layout, have you tried -u switch?

[Gremlyn]

I had not tried it, but just did and no change.

I had same problem. Try use -m switch with en_US_ubuntu_1204.map stored in logkeys-master/keymaps

logkeys -s -o log.log -m logkeys-master/keymaps/en_US_ubuntu_1204.map

[ultrablast]

First off, I wanted to send a kind thank you to everyone who took time to help with this case.

@kernc - I did try with the -u switch, but it did not seem to matter. Keys logged were still incorrect.

@PeterAndreus - I was able to find and download the en_US_ubuntu_1204.map file and unfortunately it did not work. Here is the result I received (error) when I tried it:

logkeys -s -o log.log -m /home/bench/Desktop/en_US_ubuntu_1204.map

logkeys:/home/bench/Desktop/en_US_ubuntu_1204.map:1: No characters on line
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Ubuntu offered to send an error report, but I declined.

Any other tips? Seems like we may be getting warmer!

Thanks again & Cheers,
-Ultrablast

@ultrablast i had mine en_US_ubuntu_1204.map right in downloaded version. which version do you have?
mine: logkeys version: 0.1.1b-svn
after download from git i run autogen.sh according to INSTALL file before compiling logkeys.
Did you do same steps?
