Even if the package to use it is easily available from the -Linux distribution. When I plug in a LEGO Mindstorms NXT, it could -suggest to automatically install the python-nxt, nbc and t2n packages -I need to talk to it. When I plug in a Yubikey, it could propose the -yubikey-personalization package. The information required to do this -is available, but no-one have pulled all the pieces together.</p> - -<p>Some years ago, I proposed to -<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/05/msg01206.html">use -the discover subsystem to implement this</a>. The idea is fairly -simple: - -<ul> - -<li>Add a desktop entry in /usr/share/autostart/ pointing to a program - starting when a user log in.</li> - -<li>Set this program up to listen for kernel events emitted when new - hardware is inserted into the computer.</li> - -<li>When new hardware is inserted, look up the hardware ID in a - database mapping to packages, and take note of any non-installed - packages.</li> - -<li>Show a message to the user proposing to install the discovered - package, and make it easy to install it.</li> - -</ul> - -<p>I am not sure what the best way to implement this is, but my -initial idea was to use dbus events to discover new hardware, the -discover database to find packages and -<a href="http://www.packagekit.org/">PackageKit</a> to install -packages.</p> - -<p>Yesterday, I found time to try to implement this idea, and the -draft package is now checked into -<a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-edu/trunk/src/hw-support-handler/">the -Debian Edu subversion repository</a>. In the process, I updated the -<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/d/discover-data.html">discover-data</a> -package to map the USB ids of LEGO Mindstorms and Yubikey devices to -the relevant packages in Debian, and uploaded a new version -2.2013.01.09 to unstable. I also discovered that the current -<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/d/discover.html">discover</a> -package in Debian no longer discovered any USB devices, because -/proc/bus/usb/devices is no longer present. I ported it to use -libusb as a fall back option to get it working. The fixed package -version 2.1.2-6 is now in experimental (didn't upload it to unstable -because of the freeze).</p> - -<p>With this prototype in place, I can insert my Yubikey, and get this -desktop notification to show up (only once, the first time it is -inserted):</p> - -<p align="center"><img src="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2013-01-09-hw-autoinstall.png"></p> - -<p>For this prototype to be really useful, some way to automatically -install the proposed packages by pressing the "Please install -program(s)" button should to be implemented.</p> - -<p>If this idea seem useful to you, and you want to help make it -happen, please help me update the discover-data database with mappings -from hardware to Debian packages. Check if 'discover-pkginstall -l' -list the package you would like to have installed when a given -hardware device is inserted into your computer, and report bugs using -reportbug if it isn't. Or, if you know of a better way to provide -such mapping, please let me know.</p> - -<p>This prototype need more work, and there are several questions that -should be considered before it is ready for production use. Is dbus -the correct way to detect new hardware? At the moment I look for HAL -dbus events on the system bus, because that is the events I could see -on my Debian Squeeze KDE desktop. Are there better events to use? -How should the user be notified? Is the desktop notification -mechanism the best option, or should the background daemon raise a -popup instead? How should packages be installed? When should they -not be installed?</p> - -<p>If you want to help getting such feature implemented in Debian, -please send me an email. :)</p> - - - - - New IRC channel for LEGO designers using Debian - http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/New_IRC_channel_for_LEGO_designers_using_Debian.html - http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/New_IRC_channel_for_LEGO_designers_using_Debian.html - Wed, 2 Jan 2013 15:40:00 +0100 - <p>During Christmas, I have worked a bit on the Debian support for -<a href="http://mindstorms.lego.com/en-us/Default.aspx">LEGO Mindstorm -NXT</a>.
