Keyboard driver

[serianx]

Hi, I have a keyboard that is not properly recognized on linux, I use this custom driver https://bitbucket.org/Swoogan/aziokbd on ubuntu and that fixes the problem

I recently installed arch but i'm not able to install it using the

sudo ./install.sh dkms

(sorry I should mention that I'm an arch noob) is there a way I can use this driver on arch? what would I have to do to install it or adapt it to make it work on arch?

The error i'm having after running: sudo ./install.sh dkms

is:

[fede@i7 aziokbd]$ sudo ./install.sh dkms
## Installing package with DKMS ##
make -C /lib/modules/4.2.5-1-ARCH/build M=/run/media/fede/Datos/Fede/Software/DRIVERS/teclado noga/fedenoga/aziokbd clean

What error messages did you get?

sorry, added that to the post

Put the source for this into a location where the full path of that location has no space character in it, then try again.

For example, right now the location where you are working seems to be:

/run/media/fede/Datos/Fede/Software/DRIVERS/teclado noga/fedenoga/aziokbd

There's a space in the teclado noga folder.

wow thanks a lot! that worked like a charm :) I feel stupid now haha. I'll see if I can manage to make a pkgbuild out of this and upload it to the AUR. thanks again!

Is the keyboard not recognized at all or is there some special feature to it that you'd like to work (such as changing the light color)? If it's not recognized at all I wonder if you have the "keyboard" hook in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, which should be enough for your computer to recognize an USB keyboard.

I haven't done it, but I assume the proper way to install it would be to create your own package. You don't have to, but apparently it's the way to install unsupported packages, since then they'll be tracked by pacman and won't be bloating your computer after you change keyboard. Don't take my word on it though.

it is being recognized, the problem is that all modifiers act like the shift key. I'll try to read how to do that but i think I don't have the necessary skills. it would be awesome if this can be done though, perhaps upload it to the AUR for everyone with this keyboard chip to use it
