Hello,
to be honest, I'd start from the begining - please remove or rename the
linuxtrack directory inside your ~/.config ...
Now, to the problem at point 1) - when starting the ltr_gui, is /Users/Joakim
your $HOME? If yes, can you check, that you can create the .config/linuxtrack
directories in terminal without using root privileges (sudo)? This kind of
error might be caused by wrong permissions (sometimes happens on Macs)... As
for the crash, that is a problem and I'm going to fix that...
As for 2), logs are in /tmp - they should be named along the lines of
linuxtrack*.log... However the part that matters is, that he can't
create/access preferences.
As for the rest, I added the check for running with elevated privileges,
because Linuxtrack is not meant to run like that. It may cause some
inconvenience, but it forces user to solve underlying problems without
jeopardizing the whole system...
It is interesting that TrackIR was found - the thing scans USB devices looking
for the NaturalPoint's vendor id...
Let me know should you encounter any problems...
Kind regards,
Michal

That is my $HOME, but I can't make new things inside my ~/.config folder
without root access..
Permissions are drwxr-xr-x, with root as user, and staff as group.
What would you recommend? Changing the user to me, or adding write permissions
for the group?

Hello,
my understanding is, that user should own stuff inside his own $HOME, so I'd
chown the thing to your user...
Kind regards,
Michal

Thanks for the help :) Everything's working now, and all the phantom IR devices
are gone :)
