Pystromo

Have to run as sudo (after copying rules)

Asked by Cenzo

Hi again, after I finished working on the keys I tried to get the tool to work as a reg user, when I try I get this

[cenzo@XXXXXXXX ~]$ ./.config/pystromo/pystromo-remap.py -m .config/pystmo/default.map
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./.config/pystromo/pystromo-remap.py", line 51, in <module>
    output = devices.OutputDevice()
  File "/home/cenzo/.config/pystromo/lib/devices.py", line 665, in __init__
    self.node = ioctl.OutputNode()
  File "/home/cenzo/.config/pystromo/lib/ioctl.py", line 237, in __init__
    raise LookupError ('no uinput device-nodes found')
LookupError: no uinput device-nodes found

I am running on Fedora 10 and I checked my /etc/udev/rules.d and 52-pystromo.rules is there.

"ls -l /dev/input" output:

Hmm, looks like the ordering of the installation instructions could do with a bit of rejigging, putting the installation of the .rules file before the uinput modprobe...

The problem is that the nodes in /dev/input are, for the most part, not readable by your user.
A quick fix would be to:
$ sudo chmod a+rw /dev/input/uinput

And you may have to do the same to the event* nodes as well, although simply re-plugging your devices should give them the right permissions.

Failing that, the .rules file should assert itself on the device nodes on your next reboot.

Woot, changed the permissions and re-plugged = FIX

Thank you very much :P
