HOWTO: NC10 scripts

[shaunmenzies]

Update:

Managed to get all the function keys working on the n310 by

1) Install 2.6.32 kernal then add the following line to /etc/rc.local
echo 130,131,132,134,136,137,177,179,247,249 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio0/force_release

This forces the missing Fn key to produce key_release events. (I believe the 11 bios fixes this for NC10 but the same bios is not available for N310)

2) Then I edited /lib/udev/rules.d/95-keymap.rules and after the 'LABEL="keyboard_vendorcheck"' section I added |*N310*| to the Samsung vendor line that already contained |*NC10*| and |*NC20*|

3) Installed the NC-10 scripts detailed in this topic.

4) Installed CompizConfig and enabled the commands applet

5) Configured Fn+key keybindings to the NC-10 script commands

Now ALL MY FN BUTTONS WORK!!!!!

Thanks, Shaun.

ALL MY FUNCTION KEYS ARE NOW WORKING!!!!

New 'nc10-scripts' on repository.

There are interesting additions this time: now all the customizable options have been moved in '/etc/default/nc10-scripts', so there is no need to manually edit the scripts anymore. For instance, if your wireless card uses a different kernel module, just set it in the configuration file.
Also, there is a new option now, LAST_STATUS_RESTORE which, if enabled, it restores the current status for all devices after a system suspend/hibernate/reboot cycle. This means that if you disable the bluetooth and then shutdown the pc, the bluetooth will be already off at the next boot.

Fn + up/down and scrolling area on touchpad don't work since today's updates (nc10-scripts, xorg-driver-synaptic and kernel)...

[voria]

I've just uploaded the 'nc10-backlight' for the new kernel on the repo, it will be available in a few hours.

Concerning the touchpad, go on 'System'->'Preferences'->'Mouse' and enable scrolling (it's not enabled anymore by default).

Many thanks !!!

Ah, that's cool, I had been thinking of asking you about that

Hi,
And first many thanks to you Voria ! (I've done a little donation to proove I do appreciate your great work...)

I've activated your repository (for Karmic, since I use Ubuntu 9.10). nc10scripts work fine :-)

But you talk about "wmswitcher" and "hal-info" for example in other treads of this forum. I don't find them (I just see debhelper, nc10-backlight*, nc10-scripts, voria-ppa-keyring & xserver-xorg-input-synaptics ; only these last 3 are installed) in the repository list (menu System / Admin / Synaptic).

They seem to be available only in Jaunty version : on https://launchpad.net/~voria/+archive/ppa/+packages I see more packages for Jaunty than for Karmic, and I don't know how to get them.

Thank you !

[voria]

Welcome to the forum and thank you very much for the donation, it's really appreciated!

With Jaunty there were a lot of fixes needed to have everything working properly; fortunately most of them have been fixed by default with Karmic. This is the reason why on the repository there are a few packages for Karmic, compared to the number of packages for Jaunty.

But you talk about "wmswitcher" and "hal-info" for example in other treads of this forum.

"hal-info" is not needed anymore, because the HAL subsystem is going to disappear in the future Ubuntu versions, and the process is already started with Karmic.
Concerning the "wmswitcher" script, I'm considering to re-add it to the 'nc10-scripts' package. After all, it's a script that can be useful from time to time.
