Package: solaar Version: 1.0.4+dfsg-1 Solaar notes this on configuration:
> Please specify how non-root users should be given access to the Logitech > receiver devices. > > If systemd or consolekit are in use, they can apply ACLs to make them > accessible via Solaar for the user logged in on the current seat. Right > now, NEITHER daemon is running. > > If neither of these daemons is in use, or if the receiver should also be > accessible for remotely logged in users, it is possible to grant access > for members of the "plugdev" system group. > > If you do use the "plugdev" group, don't forget to make sure all the > appropriate users are members of that group. You can add new members to > the group by running, as root: > adduser <username> plugdev > For the group membership to take effect, the affected users need to log > out and back in again. > > Use plugdev group? > > <Yes> <No> However, even if "yes" is selected, the line that includes plugdev is commented out in the udev rules file shipped with the package, /lib/udev/rules.d/60-solaar.rules: # Grant members of the "plugdev" group access to receiver (useful for SSH users) #MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev" ...which results in plugdev not being set as the group for matching devices, instead leaving them with the default 0600 root:root, which plugdev users cannot access. If this line is manually uncommented Solaar works as intended with plugdev users. The easiest fix might be to simply be to note this in the configuration dialog, as it'd be reasonable for users wanting this to work with plugdev to understand that an additional manual step is required.
