Arch Linux User Repository

@dreieck I've added sysusers file, and sgid bit to the executable. Cloud you please check if it works properly?

The file /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-resetmsmice.rules references a group ms-usb which is not available by standard (and seems not to be added automatically by your package):

GROUP="pcscd"

Leading to the following clutter in system and kernel logs:

udevd[1122]: specified group 'ms-usb' unknown

Can you fix this, please?

Thanks for maintaining!

Regarding this package, I'll try to get this going again in coming days (time permitting), and will adopt if it works. Although not ideal nor recommended for an Arch install, the install script and systemd unit do work well by itself.

@ryanerwin, sent you an e-mail, I understand your desire to find something else but please don't use aur comments for this, better suited for the forums.

@jskier,

I no longer use the keyboard (the wireless is also insecure) What keyboard have you switched to?

Personally I like the feel of this one Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop, but very curious to hear what you've found that you like better... Mine is getting old now so wouldn't be bad to switch...

Unfortunately I will need to disown this package; I no longer use the keyboard (the wireless is also insecure), and I don't have the time to update this to address the issues with the systemd units and other problems @craigacgomez mentioned with the fakeroot environment.

Thanks @craigacgomez, I'll try to get to this soon.

@jskier, with the latest updated to 1.1.3, makepkg shows a bunch of errors when "make install" is called.

make[2]: Entering directory '/home/user/resetmsmice/src/resetmsmice-1.1.3' groupadd -f ms-usb || : The databases in [/usr/share/applications] could not be updated. udevadm trigger --attr-match=idVendor=045e || : groupadd: PAM: Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info chgrp ms-usb /home/user/resetmsmice/pkg/resetmsmice/usr/bin/resetmsmice || : chgrp: invalid group: ‘ms-usb’ chmod 2755 /home/user/resetmsmice/pkg/resetmsmice/usr/bin/resetmsmice || : Failed to disable unit: Connection reset by peer rm: cannot remove '/lib/systemd/system/resetmsmice.service': Permission denied Failed to disable unit: Connection reset by peer rm: cannot remove '/lib/systemd/system/resetmsmice.service': Permission denied touch: cannot touch '/lib/systemd/system/resetmsmice.service': Permission denied Error: Cannot write configuration file '/lib/systemd/system/resetmsmice.service' Are you sure you have permissions to write to this file? Hint: Try running as root.

Looks like the changes to the makefile in the latest build file are don't seem to be working in a chroot makepkg environment, rather make install expects that you are running in the active system scope as a root user.

make install calls install-exec & install-data.

install-exec calls install-exec-hook which basically attempts to create a new user group and change file ownership/permissions and create and enable a systemd unit. This should probably happen in a .install file.

install-data calls install-data-hook which attempts to update the application database (automatically done in arch) and trigger a udev attribute match (this should also probably happen in a .install file)

Updated, also getting notified for updates on it, sorry for the delay.
