Can you try running it using sudo
and see if it works? That should tell you if your setup is correct. I noticed that your udev rules file here and on the other site are different.
Thanks, it works using sudo
Ok, if it works with sudo
then it's probably a setup issue. I see that your rules above are missing the SUBSYSTEMS
argument. It should look something like this:
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1390", ATTRS{idProduct}=="7474", SYMLINK+="tomtom", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="660"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1390", ATTRS{idProduct}=="7475", SYMLINK+="tomtom", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="660"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1390", ATTRS{idProduct}=="7477", SYMLINK+="tomtom", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="660"
You'll need to tell udev to reload the rules using udevadm control --reload-rules
. Also make sure that your user is part of the plugdev
group:
sudo addgroup plugdev
sudo usermod -a -Gplugdev <user_name>
You'll then need to either log out/in again, or restart the machine to make the group change take effect. After this it should work ok.
Let me know how you go.
adding the subsytems fixed the problem, watch identifed without sudo, thanks
Excellent, glad to know it worked.
Hi, I installed ttwatch but ttwatch --devices doesnt list the watch, my 99-tomtom.rules are below
ATTRS{idVendor}=="1390", ATTRS{idProduct}=="7474", SYMLINK+="tomtom", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="660" ATTRS{idVendor}=="1390", ATTRS{idProduct}=="7475", SYMLINK+="tomtom", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="660" ATTRS{idVendor}=="1390", ATTRS{idProduct}=="7477", SYMLINK+="tomtom", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="660"
