Controlling USB device permissions with UDEV rules
Hello,
I'm trying to use PLUG, a piece of software that connects to my guitar amplifier by USB: http://piorekf.org/plug/
I can compile the application and run it just fine.
However, if I try to run it as a normal user, I get USB permissions errors.
I've added myself to the group plugdev, and tried the following udev rules:
ATTRS{idVendor}=="1ed8", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0004", MODE="664", GROUP="pludev"
ATTRS{idVendor}=="1ed8", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0005", MODE="664", GROUP="plugdev"
ATTRS{idVendor}=="1ed8", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0006", MODE="664", GROUP="plugdev"This didn't work, after checking the nodes using ls -l, the nodes are still root:root.
Any ideas on how I can change the permissions?
Thanks,
Chris.

Re: Controlling USB device permissions with UDEV rules

If this was a literal copy-paste from your rules file, I do see a typo there at the end of the first line: "pludev" -> "plugdev". Maybe that's the problem?
