paramiko.ssh_exception.SSHException: not a valid RSA private key file

I guess I'm using a newer version of openssh. Not sure why this hasn't been handled upstream yet, but it's pretty annoying. The workaround mentioned here to generate new keys seems to have worked:

ssh-keygen -m PEM -t rsa

paramiko/paramiko#1015 (comment)

I believe that passing container objects like args to all your subroutines is eventually asking for trouble. By using such a container, functions are allowed to hide what fields of the container they are actually using. And those functions are not reusable, as I have to first create an args container with all the right fields.

If you search for args you will find it is used in open_remote_device(), pipe_device(), and read_tablet(). But actually

• open_input_device() is using args.address, and optionally args.key and args.password.
• pipe_device() is using args.orientation, args.monitor, args.threshold, args.mode, and args.debug
• read_tablet() is using args.orientation, args.monitor, args.threshold, and args.mode

That fact is completely hidden in the generic function(args) interface.

Instead of a function

def foo(args):
    print(args.address, args.debug)

foo(args)

I would recommend unpacking the arguments in the call

def foo(address, debug=False)
    print(address, debug)

foo(args.address, args.debug)

When I run remouse with --evdev, it crashes after Debugging enabled...:

I'm on Ubuntu 18.04; is this just "your system libevdev is too old"?

Step to reproduce on Ubuntu 19.10, running wayland:

• start remouse like that:

$ sudo remouse --evdev --key ~/.ssh/remarkable
Created virtual input device '/dev/input/event5'

• no virtual tablet is created/visible

• Running libinput list-devices return the following error:

$ sudo libinput list-devices
event5  - reMarkable tablet: libinput bug: missing tablet capabilities: resolution. Ignoring this device.

According to libinput documentation, we need to specify the resolution of the tablet in a 60-evdev.hwdb entry.

Hi,
I have been trying this on OSX with my brand new RM2 and there's no way to get it to work.
I added debug code and the code hangs while making the syscall
remote_device.read(16)
in
_, _, e_type, e_code, e_value = struct.unpack('2IHHi', remote_device.read(16))
in file pynput.py

I checked and the code tries to open device file: /dev/input/event0 but no such file exists on my mac when I connect my RM2. Is there anything I should enable on the RM2 for this to work?

when i try to connect it gives me an error about paramiko not being installed (i tried to use the sudo command cause one post said something about trying it in root) and i also saw something in another post about seeing wether or not you could connect to the tablet with shh and i did some research but i dont seem to have it, even when i installed openshh it didn't end up working, this might be the problem but this is completely out of my area of expertise, does anyone know what the issue might be or how i could solve it? (the same issue is happening with remouseable which i had used on windows and ubuntu before i just switched to arch and the problems started)

I have installed the remouse with pip3
running it as bellow and getting errors

$ sudo remouse --address XX.XX.XX.XX --orientation top   --password XXXXXXXXXXX --debug --evdev

Debugging enabled...

Error setting fit: b'unable to find device reMarkable tablet stylus\n'

Running on arch Linux also tested the same on fedora gnome

While remarkable_mouse does have access to the pressure information from the tablet, it is not reported to the host operating system, as pynput does not support it. This is unfortunate, as many graphic applications would benefit a lot of having that information.

Maybe one option would be to use a module like python-uinput to recreate a fake input device?

I'm trying to make remouse work with my RM2 and hence tried

remouse --event-file /dev/input/event1

However, my machine claims

unrecognized arguments: --event-file /dev/input/event1

In fact, when I run

remouse -h

I get

usage: remouse [-h] [--debug] [--key PATH] [--password PASSWORD]
[--address ADDRESS] [--mode {fit,fill}]
[--orientation {top,left,right,bottom}] [--monitor NUM]
[--threshold THRESH] [--evdev]

use reMarkable tablet as a mouse input

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--debug enable debug messages
--key PATH ssh private key
--password PASSWORD ssh password
--address ADDRESS device address
--mode {fit,fill} scale setting
--orientation {top,left,right,bottom}
position of tablet buttons
--monitor NUM monitor to output to
--threshold THRESH stylus pressure threshold (default 600)
--evdev use evdev to support pen pressure (requires root,
Linux only)

Any suggestion as to what's wrong here and possible solutions?

I had to modify the pynput.py to make this work on MacOS. As suggested in another thread, I added this to avoid the call to get_monitors:
monitor = Monitor(
x=0,
y=0,
width=2560,
height=1440
)
The data above correspond with the resolution of my screen. Besides, I have been able to obtain those data using screeninfo in a simple Python script of my own.

Then I can run "remouse --orientation vertical" successfully, but the problem is that an important part of the top of the reMarkable screen correspond to the top part of my MacOS screen (i.e., I have to start writing on the reMarkable without using about 1/3 of its screen at the top).

Not sure if this behavior is expected...

Currently the default for address and ssh key is hard-coded as 10.11.99.1 and ~/.ssh/id_rsa.

I suggest that instead the ssh config at ~/.ssh/config be used, and only if the remarkable host is not defined we fall back to the hard-coded values.

Hello, I've come across a weird issue on OSX:

Osx: 10.14.6
python: 3.7 (and 3.9) (installed with brew)
command: remouse --address 192.168.0.178 --key ~/.ssh/remarkable

Error:

Digging deeper I found out the error is raised from

in dependency's dependency of screeninfo: pyobjus .

The problem only happens when it is called in remouse. Following code in an interpreter just works:

for m in get_monitors():
    print(str(m))

Any lead for me to further investigate what's going on?

This is a great program! Thanks!

I managed to get it to work on my Mac (I had to bypass screeninfo because it could not really detect my monitor and had to hardcode the Monitor object but fine).
It works well with local applications like Gimp or Krita.
It does not work with apps like sketchboard.io or awwapp.com as it seems the mouse events confuse the app enormously.
I tried with both Firefox and Chrome.
Any idea of why that could be and how to fix it?

Hi,
Thanks for this awesome project.
I can't get --evdev to give me any pen input. Without --evdev everything seems to work OK, but with it I get touch events but no pen events. GIMP seems to recognize a pen input device being created but remouse --debug doesn't yield any event spam.

SSH'd to the rm2, running xxd /dev/input/event1 seems to produce output from the pen as expected (though I can't interpret what it's saying because I'm not Keanu Reeves...)

I will have a play around as well, just touching base. :)

what i can do ?

Only RSA keys can be used in this program.
I need ECDSA support, since my OS deprecated RSA keys (Fedora 34).

I'm running remouse on Windows 10 (19041.330) inside Powershell (7.0.2) using Windows Terminal (1.0.1401.0). It works great but I can't seem to stop the process using CTRL+C. Am I missing something?

(as an aside, this is an awesome utility for the remarkable!!)

I'm getting this issue trying to install through pip on fedora 34:

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi,

I wanted to try this for the reMarkable2. It turns out that the event file is different from rM1:

/dev/input/event0 => /dev/input/event1

I think one extra command line arg (something like --remarkable2) would help future users of this library without breaking backwards compatibility.

Starting remouse (commit 89505ec) this morning on Ubuntu 20.04 on a wayland session, I get these errors:

$ sudo remouse --address 192.168.0.23 --key ~/.ssh/remarkable --monitor 1 --evdev

Error setting fit: b'WARNING: running xinput against an Xwayland server. See the xinput man page for details.\nunable to find device reMarkable tablet stylus\n'

and indeed, the monitor is not properly selected.

...not sure why xinput and xwayland are triggered here... any idea?

libinput list-devices does list the tablet, as expect.

Hello and thank you for this amazing piece of software :)

I'm using it on RM2 using evdev to allow me to use the button on my Lamy pen (actually a Samsung Tab S6 pen but it shouldn't matter). The problem I'm experiencing is that since I want to use it for collaborative whiteboarding, some of the platforms available have shortcuts for the rubber tool, but never mapped to the middle mouse as the tool wants. Often times this shortcut can be changed to some other key in the keyboard, but not to the middle mouse.

Is it possible to bind the Lamy button to some other key rather than the middle mouse button? And if so, is there any reference on how to achieve that?

Thanks!

Looks like the evdev option ignores the monitor and scales over the whole screen (i have dual screen in extension mode). So instead of being locked into on of the screen it scales the whole remarkable surface to both screens stretching it.

Expectation: --monitor parameter selects to scale on the selected screen.

Would be nice to have proper documentation for the not so savy.

If I monitor journalctl output on the ReMarkable2, I can see that it makes an attempt to ssh and succeeds (using a key). But it doesn't seem to "do" anything. I can't see any new process running on the ReMarkable2 after running remouse.

Hi,
Since the tablet is so big, sometimes when using a small monitor it feels weird having such a big area,
That's why i suggest adding a tablet area setting so that we can increase its "sensitivity"

I'm using the rm2 branch for my reMarkable2, and I seem to be experiencing some sort of lag. My cursor does not move as quickly as my marker does. As a result if I move my marker for a long time, my cursor will keep moving even after my marker has stopped. I tried the script from #37 (comment), and it seemed normal, total = 2.32. My suspicion is that processing the input from the reMarkable happens slower than real time.

As a work around, I changed the script to update the cursor less often and the lag disappeared, but the mouse movement got more choppy. Here's the change I made.

I have previously used remarkable_mouse on my same computer with a reMarkable 1 with no lag.

There's no need to make any changes if I'm the only one having this problem; I'm mostly posting this to see if others are dealing with the same thing.

Loving this script so far and want to experiment with the wide array of possibilities. Is there any semi-easy way to configure the input area to use a smaller area of the tablet for games like osu? I saw that LinusCDE who inspired you to make achieved this but his solution seemed rather complex and I'm not experienced enough to apply his solution without possibly breaking something.

Hello,
I've taken some time reading bits of the code and it looks like it doesn't actually make any change to the tablet,
Am I correct to assume that this is essentially just connecting via SSH to read the 3 devices?
Meaning the warranty shouldn't pop, If I'm right, I believe it would be good to have it shown on the main page, so more people take interest in this project

Any ideas what is going on? Thanks.

When I try to SHH the remarkable, it gives me the following error:
ssh_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer
Any idea how to solve it?

Would be amazing if there was an installation guide explaning how to install it on a freshly bought reMarkable.

Not working on my Mac:

This does not appear to be working for me. I did the pip install and after executing remouse I get the message connected to 10.11.99.1 however I can't get the mouse to move.

OS: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
python version: 2.7.15+
python3 version: 3.6.8

When I try to install I get the following error:

Hi. I'm trying 24ca4f6 and the following command line:

remouse --password=MyPaSsWoRd --mode=stretch --orientation=left

The password prompt appears despite the fact that I already specified it using the command line. Entering it again interactively works fine (the gui window appears). Could it be the second SSH connection which doesn't reuse password or smth other?

I am trying to connect to RM2 from Win10 using the following command:
remouse --address 10.11.99.1 --debug --orientation right --mode fit --monitor 1 --password XXXX

and get the following output:
\site-packages\screeninfo\screeninfo.py", line 37, in get_monitors
raise ScreenInfoError("No enumerators available")
screeninfo.common.ScreenInfoError: No enumerators available
EOF in transport thread

Any help?

I'm trying to connect to the rm2, following the instructions in the readme.

I tried both with password flag, and using the flag to supply a key

both methods fail on authentication

when i try to ssh to rm2 with the key I produced according to the instructions, it also fails:

ssh with password works well though.

Python version 3.9.5, Windows 10 build 19042.928. Installed the normal way (pip install remarkable-mouse)

I plug the rM2 in using USB and run remouse --debug. Output:

Password for '10.11.99.1':
connected to 10.11.99.1
Debugging enabled...
Chose monitor: Monitor(x=2560, y=233, width=1920, height=1200, width_mm=518, height_mm=324, name='\\\\.\\DISPLAY1')

The process does not exit, but stays here. On the reMarkable nothing changes, and using the pen on the tablet works like normal (no UI changes, the PC does not react at all).

Also had no luck trying different options (setting orientation to something different, choosing a different monitor or mode).

I noticed that the --password parameter was not working, so I downloaded the source and modified your code successfuly so that I can connect to my rM with: $ remouse --password <password>. (i did a $ python setup.py install)
But then I have this error:
NameError: name 'WACOM_EVCODE_YPOS' is not defined
Do you know from where it come from ?

Thx

Hey, could you add a license file so other developers can know what they can, and cannot do with your code?

The lib is working perfectly fine on Linux (to be exact, Pop!OS 20.10)
On Windows, the mouse stutters (like it doesn't have enough resolution). You can see it jump from Point A to Point B when swiping fast. video here

The smooth one is moving the mouse directly, the laggy one is using the reMarkable.

I am using a W10 laptop and a RM2 Tablet. I downloaded remarkable-mouse from pip successfully. The program runs on cmd. I also connect successfully to the tablet through my root password. But once connected the tablet doesn't work as a mouse input at all. I can draw fine on the tablet, but it doesn't translate to a mouse input on my laptop. I would love if someone could help me resolve this issue.

one pip install, an ssh connect and here we are.
Thanks for this

Hello, I could make it work once, but now for some reason I get "failed to create process". What should I do ? Thx

C:\Users\stnsl>remouse
failed to create process.

Hi!

I'm deeply interested in using this on my computer, but so far I've tried a WSL2+VCXSRV, it connected to the display but the mouse wasn't moving, same with an admin powershell or an admin cmd prompt, it connects but the mouse doesn't move.

The command I tried: remouse --password XXXXXXXX --mode fit --orientation top --debug

On powershell and cmd prompt I have this output:

connected to 10.11.99.1
Debugging enabled...
Chose monitor: Monitor(x=0, y=0, width=1920, height=1080, width_mm=293, height_mm=165, name='\\\\.\\DISPLAY1')

On WSL2, only the monitor changes

Thanks in advance

I'm using the Lamy pen with my rM1 and it works great. It has an extra button that is mapped to eraser tool in rM. I was wondering if it would be possible to use it also for the remarkable_mouse?

From remarkable-hacks#19 I got this info:

In /dev/input/event0 you get:

    type: 1 code: 331 value: 1 on button down
    type: 1 code: 331 value: 0 on button up

Would it be possible to support these events so in xournal++ I can map it to an eraser tool as well.

I installed this tool on my windows device, but cannot run it:

Any idea

First of all, thank you for this wonderful software. I've tried using it in --evdev mode with krita editor. It works great apart from tilt detection.

evdev.py lists limits for ABS_TILT_X/ABS_TILT_Y as [-9000, 9000]. On remarkable 2 the seem to be [-6400, 6400] where 64k correspond to a 90 degree angle. Actual detectable range is around [-6300, 6300] for X axis and [-4000, 4000] for Y axis. But it looks like graphic editor ignores these ranges altogether and requires values in degrees: [-90, 90] range. I suspect that it is the range that wacom tablets have, though I can't test it as I don't own one.

I was able to get appropriate behaviour by scaling tilt events with this crude hack:

        if event.code in [libevdev.EV_ABS.ABS_TILT_X, libevdev.EV_ABS.ABS_TILT_Y]:
            event.value = int(90 * float(event.value) / 6400)

Though it could be the case that the bug is actually in the graphic editor, it still would be nice to have support for this scaling in the mainline version of remarkable_mouse.
