Hi everyone,
I'm new to Xnee so please bear with me as I try to explain the problems I'm
experiencing.
I'm trying to use cnee to record and playback the mouse and keyboard events
received by the X server. Just to test things out I'm launching cnee to record
in the following manner:
Ø cnee --record --keyboard --mouse --all-events --events-to-record -1
--store-mouse-position --stop-key q -o gcalctool.nxl &
Ø gcalctool
the gcalctool executable is a GUI calculator. On the calculator I use the
mouse to enter a number press the + key and enter another number and press the
= key, I then close the calculator and press the q key to quit cnee recording.
This all seems to work fine and it creates the gcalctool.nxl file which
contains the recording of the events. While I'm doing this run I do get the
following messages:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cnee-tests$ cnee --record --keyboard --mouse --all-events --events-to-record -1
--store-mouse-position --stop-key q -o gcalctool.xnl &

I'm not sure if the "XI2 may not be supported (minor: 0/2)" is a problem, if
it is can you tell me how to fix it? And if these are associated with the 2
NOTIFICATION: messages below it. I built and installed libXi-1.6.0, is this a
good version or should I use different one.
To replay the recorded file, I use the following:
Ø cnee --replay --file gcalctool.xnl --synchronised-replay --speed-percent 50
--recall-window-position
This doesn't work correctly though. It does launch the gcalctool executable
but then exits indicating there was an Error number: 5, Error: Synchronisation
failure. Here is the output:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cnee-tests$ cnee --replay --file gcalctool.xnl --synchronised-replay

I've tried to run it without synchronization using the "-ns" option instead of
the "-synchronized" option but that didn't work either. Again the "XI2 may not
be supported (minor: 0/2)" message appeared.
I've looked at the documentation here:
http://xnee.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/xnee1.pdf, but I couldn't find anything
there to help me with this problem. I read the section on Synchronisation, in
particular section "8.1.4 Different data for different kind of sessions", there
is a section which I don't understand and perhaps you can clarify this for me.
The section reads as follows:
The solve to the the problem of finding out what data to use as synchronisation
data
one can:
· use the project files delivered with Xnee
· analyse the application (using Xnee's--human-printouts option) and do
some "trial and error"
concerning the first bullet I could one find one project file in the xnee
directory which is xnee-3.15/projects/test.xnp and this file isn't very helpful
as it is a empty file. On the second bullet analyzing the application using
the -human-printouts option. I assume this means recording with that option,
but how do I use this information during playback?
I'm running Xnee 3.15 on a Ubuntu system, Ubuntu 10.10 - the Maverick Meerkat.
I built Xnee from source and a number of the libraries it uses such as:
1. inputproto-2.1.99.6
2. libXext-1.3.0
3. libXi-1.6.0
4. libXtst-1.2.0
5. recordproto-1.41.1
6. util-macros-1.17
7. X11-test
8. xextproto-7.2.0
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
