Trezor fixes (bundle bridge + udev rules) #3901

Closed jzbz closed 1 week ago

jzbz commented 1 year ago

As of this moment Decrediton relies on the user manually installing the Trezor Bridge software before they can use their device.

Automatic application of the udev rules is problematic because it needs admin permissions to copy which is not great and does not work out of the box on some distros, like mine. Would instructions in case we suspect the udev rules to be missing be enough? More comments on #3950

Yes I think that's a fair compromise, prompt the user with the instructions on how to do it themselves if they seem missing.
