I see.
Boy, what is written on very first page on this thread is following
UPDATE: Seems that there is a conflict with bt-hid-scripts package, will try to resolve it and will upload fixed version. For now you should deinstall bt-hid-scripts before installing extkbd.
re error message when you start extkd - that is normal, once you configure at least one keyboard , the message will not appear anymore.

Mostly worked for me, although one time I had to delete and re-pair my BT keyboard to get any characters to go through, and the control panel crashed the first time I tried to access it.

It flashed up an error on one of those gold popup bars very quickly about not being able to find some file (I remember it had /hal/ in it's path) I didn't have time to read it all. So it never left the settings window when I clicked on External Keyboard. But when I clicked it again it worked.

"Cannot open /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/99-x11-external-keyboard.fdi - no such file or directory" - the message is normal, it appears if you do not have any configured keyboards, so no crash

Found one other problem - after the first reboot after installing the app, the custom internal keyboard layout I used to have has been reset to default. I'm guessing the default layout file was packaged with extkbd, maybe it should use the existing one instead.

When trying to reconnect keyboard error message appears. Something "bluez.org" doesn't exist.
What is that?interface looks nice by the way.
