How can I make a daemon that detects mouse and keyboard activity in a chroot and resets the screen blanking timer of the parent OS?

http://unix.stackexchange.com – This is a couple of quite specific system programming questions. I am inexperienced in practical modern system programming, and I hope that someone who knows about that can guide me, to avoid that I wander in stupid beginner mistakes. But before I ask my questions, I explain some background. I guess it's better if you only read the whole story if you need more info; so now you should just skip to the questions (in bold, at the bottom) first. The background, in short, is that I am running Archlinux in a chroot alongside Chrome OS on a chromebook. The original project is there, my fork of it is (HowTos)

I am running Archlinux in a chroot alongside Chrome OS on a chromebook. The original project is there, my fork of it is here (mostly similar).

The issue is that the display power management of Chrome OS only takes touchpad and keyboard input made in Chrome OS's X on tty1 into account to reset the screen blanking countdown.

If you don’t do any Linux programming then you may want to skip this posting!

Hi all, I'm hopefully making the jump to Android in the near future (more specifically, one I can get a Nexus 4 :D), and I have a few questions. If you don't want to hear my mobile background, you can just skip to the last set of questions. Thanks!

But first, a bit of a background.

Hi all. It's two days now I'm in deep troubles after my last "yum update". The system boots as usual, the graphical login pops up the normal way but no input is handled by either the internal keyboard (the system is a laptop), the mouse pad, the external USB mouse and keyboard.

However, it is not sufficient by itself. You also need to be willing to do your own research when questions or problems arise.

Dear Ms. Longoria: You and The VAR Guy are set to attend the same technology event next week: McAfee Focus 2012. Our resident blogger typically writes about the high-tech market, but he also focuses on human interest stories from time to time. With that thought in mind: Can we meet for coffee and discuss your work as a philanthropist?

Two F18 questions. 20 weeks 5 days ago

If my questions look stupid - sorry.

I have a newly installed F18, Gnome edition.

1. I can not "log out" from session. I see no button for this. 2. When I do "shutdown" the system says, that there is a running user in the system, and I should provide a password to do shutdown.

Sorry again for these stupid questions

Hi guys

I started to read about C++ and I'm planning to get into it soon I have programming background from VB.NET so it is not an issue for me to start with C++

My problem is about GCC and the target platform I will compile my code for I am a pure 64bit user...

I'd like to rsync (backup) a chroot environment from outside the chroot. For that I first make a lvm snapshot of the chroot volume and then run rsync on that.

The only problem with this approach: Symlinks that inside the chroot are absolute are now pointing to the outer-chroot-system and are of course not matching.
