To get access to /dev/uinput run `sudo setfacl -m u:${user}:rw /dev/uinput`*

The easiest way to maintain write access to /dev/uinput is to use Solaar's alternative udev rule by downloading
|
||||||
|
`https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pwr-Solaar/Solaar/master/rules.d-uinput/42-logitech-unify-permissions.rules`
|
||||||
|
and copying it as root into the `/etc/udev/rules.d` directory.
|
||||||
|
You may have to reboot your system for the write permission to be set up.
|
||||||
|
Another way to get write access to /dev/uinput is to run `sudo setfacl -m u:${USER}:rw /dev/uinput`
|
||||||

but this needs to be done every time the system is rebooted.*
