1. Make the Logitech Unifying Receiver device available to standard users
|
|
|
|
Normally USB devices are not accessible for r/w by regular users.
|
|
|
|
In rules.d/ you'll find a udev rule file, to be copied in /etc/udev/rules.d/ (as
|
|
root).
|
|
|
|
In its current form it makes the UR device available for r/w by all users
|
|
belonging to the 'plugdev' system group (standard Debian group for pluggable
|
|
devices). It may need changes, specific to your particular system's
|
|
configuration.
|
|
|
|
If in doubt, replacing GROUP="plugdev" with GROUP="<your username>" should just
|
|
work.
|
|
|

|
|
2. Compile the hidapi native library.
|
|
|
|
Solaar uses a thin ctypes layer on top of a native hidapi library to talk
|
|
directly to the UR device. Its source code is available here:
|
|
https://github.com/signal11/hidapi .
|
|
|
|
The native library comes in two flavors, `hidraw` and `libusb`. You should
|
|
compile and use the hidraw implementation (in linux/); the libusb version
|
|
disconnects the device from the kernel and may cause your UR-connected devices
|
|
to stop working until you physically remove and re-insert the UR.
|
|
|
|
Once compiled, you should copy the shared library (libhidapi-hidraw.so) to the
|
|
lib/native/ directory appropiate for your machine (most likely x86_64).
|
|
|

|
|
3. Start the application with ./bin/solaar
