<div class="markdown_content"><p>You were right, it was the slider. Thank you very much. Have a nice day.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>There's nothing special about the super key compared to the other keys on the keyboard. Are you sure you haven't used the button/slider on the keyboard to put it into gaming mode, which disables the super key?</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hi, my pc is on Linux Mint and the super key does nothing. I was able to install g15daemon through synaptic and have added it to autostart and it IS running, the clock is showing on the lcd. However, the super key(Windows key) still does nothing - I am trying to use it for keyboard shortcuts. Help please.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>I've already did it, I'm trying to get all things G15 in one place and droping fixes here and there. It's at <a href="https://gitlab.com/menelkir/." rel="nofollow">https://gitlab.com/menelkir/.</a> Also, I've posted my first attempts on g15daemon on freebsd, needs further investigation (I'll probably try again in the next weeks).</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>@Daniel - if you're already maintaining these ports then it's even easier to fork it! Just create a fork on GitHub/GitLab/etc., apply your patches, do a release and make all your versions pull from there.</p> <p>I had a closer look at the repo here and it looks like there have been no changes since 2011 so I think it's safe to say the project here is dead and forking it is the only way it will continue. If <a class="user-mention" href="/u/steelside/">@steelside</a> still has commit access then even better, as you can update the READMEs to point to your new form.</p> <p>If the original devs come back again they can pull your changes across if they want or join your new project or whatever, it's no big deal and not reversible.</p> <p>I say go ahead and fork it!</p> <p>When you say you are struggling with some g15daemon details, is it anything we can help with?</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Well, nice to see, that thomeone wants to develop the nice program for users like us to improve the g15-daemon.</p> <p>i can say, if i can make the display work, the mediakeys nomore works under linux mint 20<br/> so i can chose, wanting the volume chaning easy or use the display.<br/> i want to use both. and it would be nice, if the macrokeys would work so i welcome your new project.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>I've got other fixes from gentoo and from other people too, and in the near future I'll have more patches incoming from my freebsd port (there's already 4, but I didn't had time to investigate further yet). I'll probably fork, that's sad because it'll be useful to just maintain the same name, since I'll not suppose to make huge modifications, since works perfectly fine already (one fix here and there).<br/> My G15 is still kicking, I'll probably buy another one when this one dies on me, lol</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Is this regarding that these patches are needed but not included in the repo? <br/> <a href="https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/g15daemon/" rel="nofollow">https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/g15daemon/</a><br/> I can apply them, but I don't have access to create a new release. I also don't have a g15 any longer, so I cannot even test the results..<br/> I.e. if you just want smallish fixes pushed in I can be your mule. <br/> If you however want to continue developing in some way, then I do suggest to fork if the authors aren't responding.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>It's not about having permission, it's about to start everything over under a new name. I've used patches that various distributions used, for example. And yes, I know that works well under Arch Linux, take a look who maintains the AUR port. I also maintain the freebsd port and at this moment I'm struggling with some details of g15daemon, this will take some time.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>You don't need permission to fork it, just fork it. If you want to start releasing updates, send PRs back to the developers and if they don't get accepted, just tack something onto your project name to distinguish it, like g15daemon-menelkir or something, and release it under that name. Explain in the readme it's a fork and link back to the original and nobody will get confused. If your fork picks up enough steam, people will switch to it and start using it.</p> <p>Of course I'm not sure why you need to fork it, it still compiles and runs fine for me under Arch Linux as of January 2021.</p></div>
