License Dongle not working with Ubuntu 20.04-dunderMethods-11-10-2022
Hi, I have installed Ubuntu 20.04 on a machine and plugged in the dongle but RoboDK is not detecting the dongle. When I run lsusb on the dongle's device ID
Code:
lsusb -s 21 -v
it says
Code:

Couldn't open device, some information will be missing

Any thoughts on how to resolve this? Other USB devices connected to this machine are working, and I know the dongle works in my Windows machine.
RE: License Dongle not working with Ubuntu 20.04-Albert-11-10-2022
You should start RoboDK with root privileges so RoboDK has access to the USB device.
Example:
Code:
sudo ./RoboDK-Start.sh

Gotcha! Thanks.
I also just came across the usb-dongle-setup.sh in the RoboDK folder which provides several options to address this:
Code:
如果你有一个USB软件狗许可证you may need to follow one of the following procedures to make the USB dongle work with RoboDK:
1. Make the device "hiddev0"(the dongle device) readable and writable
sudo chmod +666 /dev/usb/hiddev0
2. The first option, run the demo with root permission:
sudo ./RoboDK-Start.sh
3. Add one line code to this configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-usb.rules
KERNEL=="hiddev[0-9]*",MODE="0666"
4. Alternatively, modify the following file:
/etc/udev/rules.d/80-persistent-usb.rules
SYSFS{idProduct}=="8101",SYSFS{idVendor}=="1bc0",MODE="666",OWNER=“username",GROUP="groupname"
