Solaar loses permissions after reboot - need to unplug Unifying receiver each time
I had the same issue with SteamOS, after installing solaar 0.9.2 from the Debian repos. It didn't seem to have properly installed the udev rules. I haven't restarted to double-check (and if it changes anything I will edit this answer), but I believe the solution is as follows:
- Make sure all required libraries are installed.
- As root, create the file
/etc/udev/rules.d/42-logitech-unifying-receiver.rules
and open it in your favorite text editor. - Paste in the contents of the udev rules from the github repository and save the file.
- Physically remove the receiver and re-insert it.
