Hi? Hans,<br><br>
I've been checking the archives and found only one issue that has to do with the ubuntu problem and sais to put this line:<br>
KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", MODE="0666"<br><br>
in /etc/udev/rules.d/40-<div id=":1j5" class="ii gt">permissions.rules file.<br>
<br>
The problem is that xubuntu 9.04 (jaunty) doesn't have this file<br>
any more and permissions.rules, i think, are given in other archives...<br>
i'm looking in ubuntu forums to see what can i do... If someone<br>
knows something about...<br>
</div></blockquote><div><br>If you are using Ubuntu/Xubuntu Jaunty, the udev permissions files have been moved to /lib/udev/rules.d:<br><a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/jaunty-changes/2009-January/002619.html">https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/jaunty-changes/2009-January/002619.html</a><br>
<br>As for the above, you can try adding the group to plugdev, something like<br><br>KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"<br><br>since all users should be in the plugdev group.<br>
<br>I use this technique to open the mouse on my visual application which uses sdl and runs from a basic terminal without X:<br><br>KERNEL=="mouse*" GROUP="plugdev"<br><br>There is also no need to modify the existing udev rule files since they are read sequentially and can overwrite each other.<br>
So, following the debian udev rule naming convention, if you make a file called 90-puredata.rules and put the event rule<br>in there, it should override or modify the existing default rule.<br><br>Hans, it should be totally possible to ship a pd Ubuntu .deb that can install this automatically as I've done this with my own<br>
tools. I can help with this if needed, I just havent used [hid] much.<br><br>Also, udev is really picky ... make sure each rule is on one line or it will fail. You can also use the udev tools to test each script<br>for parse errors, but I'm at work on a Hardy machine so I can't give you the command right now. The udev admin script changed names<br>
between versions.<br><br></div>
