Also, do not run this script as root. It is not necessary and generally a bad idea to run wild scripts from the internet as root...
Thanks a lot for the prompt reply.
Looks like you're running into this problem
Sorry I failed to include the fact that I had already tried both rebooting the system and removing and re-inserting the receiver. I still get permission denied.

Thanks, I know. This is a sandbox environment.
Any other thoughts appreciated.
Ok, I figured it out. It was indeed a problem with the receiver device. This is what I did:
The plugdev
group wasn't present on my system (thus not assigned to my user). To fix that:
% sudo groupadd plugdev
% sudo usermod -a -G plugdev mark
% sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
Install ltunify
to manage the Logitech Unifying Receiver from the AUR:
% pacaur -S ltunify
% ltunify list
Devices count: 1
Connected devices:
idx=1 Mouse M720 Triathlon
Unplug receiver and plug back in. After that, m720-config
run successfully.
You may close the issue, unless you want to mention some of this on the readme/docs. Thanks for the help, man!

Yeah, sure. Will add this to the readme. Thanks for the solution!
Thanks for creating this repo. I was trying to get the Logitech M720 buttons and gestures to work on Arch Linux (kernel: 15.14.12) and installed this package, which successfully installed, but I'm having some issues when I try to run the script. Here's the output:
Seeing those permission errors I figured that the script was being prevented from touching
/dev
so I ran as root, which was also unsuccessful:That appears to not be able to find the
m720-config
package. Any help is greatly appreciated!
