Keyboard bindings and Linux on CF-H1

#1 Post by glitch »

So I plugged the CF-H1 up to charge in its dock. I pulled out my trusty
External Samsung DVD drive and plugged it in. It has never failed to
boot a computer, until now.

I tried several different OS's, it wasn't the OS.

Then I tried Knoppix on a usb I keep for just such problems. It
booted right up. I had watched the DVD spin up and the BIOS moved
on before it could read, locking it into a loop that wouldn't boot.

Another DVD drive might work, but I didn't have one.

So I pulled the iso and loaded it onto a usb, I was in a hurry so I just used :

dd bs=4M if=debian\ wheezy\ 20150114-04\:58.iso of=/dev/sdb

as root. "dd" has the nickname "disc destroyer", but that is if
your not careful. To make a bootable usb from an iso its great.
Just make sure you know which drive is which.

So anyway, the first try was with a 64 bit, it would boot to the
install page but not run or install. The 32 bit Debian however
is installed and updating now.

I did go into /Settings/System Settings then to System Administration
and finally Login Screen. I enabled password LESS login. Its not secure
I know, but if my class notes are that valuable, heck, they can have them.

Both batteries show with percentages under power, and I didn't have
to do anything for touch (finger) and digitizer to work switching
back and forth. I think this is going to work out nicely.

The install is a little slow as the Atom isn't a power house. I also
turned off Neomuk indexing as it eats CPU time, but I do that
on my laptops too. But now it seems to run nicely, I wont be
compiling programs on it, but that isn't why I wanted it.

So the clif notes version of installing Linux on a CF-H1 is
use usb install media, dock, and everything else is pretty standard.

Set up the finger print reader for log in security. It was really easy.
The OS is Debian Wheezy but other systems should be similar.

From a terminal:

you@yourcomputer:~$ sudo apt-get install fprintd
you@yourcomputer:~$ sudo apt-get install libpam-fprintd

check that everything went ok:

you@yourcomputer:~$ grep fprint /etc/pam.d/common-auth

you should get:

you@yourcomputer:~$ auth [success=1 default=ignore] pam_fprintd.so max_tries=1 timeout=10 # debug

or a very similar result, then to store your finger print:

you@yourcomputer:~$ fprintd-enroll

You will have to slide your finger over the sensor several times.

At this point try to restart the computer, if the normal login screen comes up
try just clicking "Login" (no password), a second message box should pop-up and tell you
to swipe your finger. On the CF-H1 with Debian this works fine.

And if you use the wrong finger the login just resets after scolding you.

**Some OS's you may have to alter the login configuration. Its located in
/etc/pam.d/

** edit - mispelled / extra words

i can see that fingerprint readers are practical and easy to use
but they do not provide any real security, as its waaayyy to easy to fool fingerprint readers

even a stupid password like "qwerty"+year of birth would provide better security

If they want my Discrete Math or Compiler homework they can have it, heck, I'll
swipe my finger for them! I back it up every night so at most I'd lose a day's notes.

This is setup for note taking and there is nothing valuable on it. But it was the easiest
way to have some security. Besides, pulling up a virtual keyboard on the login screen
is a pain.

Good stuff.

Maybe I'll try this on my CF-53 fingerprint reader.

dd :rofl: disk destroyer.........good also.

Thanks,

I hope you did get a chuckle, :)

I guess if I broke it down for someone that doesn't know:

dd bs=4M if=debian\ wheezy\ 20150114-04\:58.iso of=/dev/sdb

dd writes an image from a file to device or vice versa, it is powerful and DOES NOT have a safety.

bs=4m is the size of chunks it transfers
if=blah blah blah is the "in file" with path included (where you get the iso)
of=blah blah blah is the "out file" with path (what you're writing to)

I pull isos with K3b but I also like Braseo

And I decided to get a bunch of usb's, they have gotten cheap, and load my favorite distro's on them.
_______________________________

today I used "xev" in a console, it opens a window and as mouse or button events happen it outputs info like this:

KeyPress event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001,
root 0x83, subw 0x0, time 1583891, (55,136), root:(638,159),
state 0x0, keycode 39 (keysym 0x73, s), same_screen YES, <<< you'll see the code in this line
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (73) "s"
XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (73) "s"
XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001,
root 0x83, subw 0x0, time 1583986, (55,136), root:(638,159),
state 0x0, keycode 39 (keysym 0x73, s), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (73) "s"
XFilterEvent returns: False

I used it to find the key codes for the keys on the side of the H1, they are:

Keycodes for CF-H1
camera key = 111
RFID key = 116
A1 key = 36
A2 key = 114
A3 key = 9
"Key" key = 68

So tomorrow I will try binding them to what I want so they work. I don't have an RFID
program loaded yet. I dont know what I want the A1 -A3 keys to do. I did forget the
RFID key on the handle, but it might be the same as RFID key on the front.

you can try "xev >> keys.txt" and it will save the mouse and keys to a text file.

So, I pulled the keymap in a format to feed it back in with xmodmap

you@yourcomputer:~$ xmodmap -pke >> xmodmap.txt

And the keys I mapped would really disable things I use frequently,
Why Panasonic didnt use keycodes that were unused is beyond me.

I listed them below if you want to know what they do normally, it
may help, like the "Key" key being the F2 key to get into BIOS setup

camera key = 111 up arrow key
RFID key = 116 down arrow key
A1 key = 36 return key
A2 key = 114 right arrow key
A3 key = 9 escape key
"Key" key = 68 F2 key

How's about making this a stickie? in the Linux section? At least add (edit) title to include keymap?or some other good description.

Map a key for OSK? (on screen keyboard)...just a suggestion...

Have you tried this with front buttons on a CF-19? I tried several things since forgotten and never got a response.

Exciting.

I get distracted easily, I forgot to finish the post above.

Say you want to change a key binding

make a file in your home directory called ".xmodmaprc" without the quotes

in this file save the keybinding like this:

keycode 9 = XF86AudioMute

to test it run this in a terminal:

you@yourcomuter:~$ xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc

In this example the escape key now mutes the audio output. Dont panic,
when you restart your computer it will be the escape key again.

So if you like it and want it to run every time you start your computer
try the following:
_______________________________________________________________________
For KDE:

First change directory:

you@yourcomputer:~$ cd ~/.kde/Autostart/

In that directory save a file named: "xmodmap.sh" again, no quotes

in that file put the following 2 lines:

#! /bin/bash

xmodmap ~/.modmaprc


Then make the file executable:

you@yourcomputer:~$ chmod +x ./.xmodmap.sh

It should start when your computer starts. You just made a shell script.
They are great for repeat or tedious jobs.

_______________________________________________________________________
For other Window managers:

To load your new keymap at startup, add this to your ~/.xsessionrc file:

xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc
_______________________________________________________________________
For keys on the front of the 19, those are more difficult. They are software
controlled and I havent gotten into them yet. I will look when I can.

Ignorance is bliss.

Is there a step to chown or something for shell scripts.....to make it really really permanent. :confused: Seems like I remember another step.
Off Topic below.
I used a shell script to start Gobi 2000 from Linux. (I wanted the GPS) Maybe it was for naming the desktop shortcut. :confused:

It's been a year or so. Now I just use echo -n "\$GPS_START" > /dev/ttyUSB2 # from terminal. I wrote a shell script to do this once called GPS START AND LINKED IT TO A GUI. (cap lock came on):)

Find Gobi with lsusb. Use that number in place of ttyUSB2 shown above.

Background. Windows automatically launches Gobi...Linux does not. \$GPS_START is only needed once per session.
End Off topic. :salute:
Clarification and confusion start and end with the same letter.
Fair for you/ Fair for me.
I chose to NOT be organized.
