Hello

Tuxd do not want to launch without root permission

So, I have read the page

http://www.tuxisalive.com/documentation/faq/how-to-use-the-daemon-or-tuxup-without-being-root

But ..... I'm not - like other, I assume - on Ubuntu distribution

And, unfortunatly, etc/udev/rule.d/ folder does not content any 40-permission.rules file

05-udev-early.rules   60-persistent-input.rules    70-hotplug_map.rules
40-hpdjconsole.rules  60-persistent-storage.rules  70-libsane.rules
45-tuxdroid.rules     60-raw.rules                 90-hal.rules
50-mdk.rules          61-block_config.rules        90-libgphoto2.rules
60-cdrom_id.rules     61-net_config.rules          95-udev-late.rules
60-dynamic.rules      62-create_persistent.rules   99-fuse.rules
60-libmtp.rules       62-net.rules                 alsa.rules

Mmmmm ... how to continue ?

Thanks

You should look how udev is used in Mandriva. The configuration files should be somewhere. On the other hand, you could change the permissions manually with chmod. Look for your device with
$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 03eb:ff07 Atmel Corp.
# Or when the dongle is in bootloader mode (plugged with its switch pressed):
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 03eb:2ffd Atmel Corp. at89c5130/c5131 DFU bootloader
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
$ ls -al /dev/bus/usb/001/006
crw-r--r-- 1 root usb 189, 5 2007-03-19 16:59 /dev/bus/usb/001/006
$ chmod 664 /dev/bus/usb/001/006

The problem is that you'll have to do that each time you plug your dongle, so better find how usb devices are created on Mandriva. I have no idea myself.

Hello,

I have the same problem, look each directory used with tux "opt etc"

Make propriety for them and make access for all user

after tux work for simple user

You just have to use the package provided by mandriva here :

ftp://ftp.free.fr/pub/Distributions_Linux/MandrivaLinux/official/2008.0/i586/media/non-free/backports/tuxsetup-1.2.0037-1mdv2008.0.i586.rpm

It works out out the box (but still have to download acapella separately)
