"The OpenRazer daemon is not installed" #83

Closed gemcosta closed 4 years ago

gemcosta commented 4 years ago

Hi,

I'm running a fresh install of Pop!_OS 20.04 LTS. As you may know, this is essentially Ubuntu.

I went through OpenRazer's installation steps for Ubuntu as described here. I get a message from Terminal as follows:

gemcosta@pop-os:~$ sudo apt install openrazer-meta
[sudo] password for gemcosta: 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
openrazer-meta is already the newest version (2.8.0-0).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

This suggests I have successfully installed Openrazer. Then when I open RazerGenie, I get the following message:

Perhaps I am still too new to understand what this means, but I can't seem to find any good direction as to what I should try next. Any help would be appreciated so that I can use my Razer devices with my new PC :)

Can you give me the output of openrazer-daemon -Fv ?

Thanks for the reply. That actually told me how to fix it. Seems that for some reason I was not in the plugdev group.

I ran sudo usermod -a -G plugdev userName and rebooted. Now RazerGenie opens up as expected! Thanks for the tip.
