RE: [newRPL] interested in RPN mode?
Claudio:
TLDR: please see my question in bold below. (Sorry, I get wordy.)
So, I've been digging a little in my system, and it seems that another rule is taking precedence over the settings in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-HIDDevices.rules.
(It gets grabbed by a rule in 90-extraacl.rules that handles KERNEL=="ttyUSB[0-9]*" and changes the owner to me. I don't remember setting this up, but I think it may be related to my Arduino IDE setup.)
The result is that my GS39 connects as /dev/ttyUSB0, and I am the owner, but the group is "dialout" (Without that rule, the owner is root.)
My account is a member of group "dialout", so I think this should all be OK.
And newRPL-ui runs under my account. As far as I can tell, it should have RW access to /dev/ttyUSB0.

If all the above is true, there isn't really any need for the 50-HIDDevices.rules, correct?
note that I also tried changing the group on /dev/ttyUSB0 manually to "usbdevices" and it made no difference.

If I understand correctly, all that should matter is that newRPL-ui runs under an account ("jpcuzzourt") which has rw access to /dev/ttyUSB0.
Since jpcuzzourt is the owner of the device and rw access, my issue should not be permissions, correct?
(note that I've also run newRPL-ui as root to try to rule permissions out, and I get the same result.)
One more idea - is the problem that it gets attached as /dev/ttyUSB, i.e. maybe it isn't seen as hidraw?


Code:
$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/90-extraacl.rules 

# Setting serial port rules

KERNEL=="ttyUSB[0-9]*", TAG+="udev-acl", TAG+="uaccess", OWNER="jpcuzzourt"
KERNEL=="ttyACM[0-9]*", TAG+="udev-acl", TAG+="uaccess", OWNER="jpcuzzourt"
$ ls -la /dev/ttyU*
