OpenRGB not recognizing udev rules

How's it going everyone

Finally decided about 4 days ago to make the full switch from Windows to Linux, decided on Zorin to start out. Definitely getting used to it still and still very green to the Linux in general.

On to the issue that's got me a few hours invested in; I downloaded OpenRGB from Software Center and got this once I opened it.

Followed the link and came to this script

Ran the script and didn't get any errors it looks like

After that I rebooted and still getting the same error.

So far ive tried:
-Ran updates 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade'

  • Getting restricted extras and codecs 'sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras'

Does anyone have any suggestions moving forward?

Version: Zorin 17.3
Kernel: 6.8.0-57-generic
System: Origin EON-15x (Yes, I know its old :rofl: but its still performing flawlessly)

Use a .deb package of it. Not Flat or Snap package. OR compile Open RGB from the ground up.

How would I get the .deb, and or compile from ground up?

First check the software center source at the Open RGB, it's set to flatpak is my guess. See if there's one called Zorin OS/.deb.

If not you can try the Debian .deb file at their page and see if it's compatible:

There's 3 kind of package format that Zorin is using in the software center. There is .deb(ZorinOS), Flatpak and Snap (which should be avoided).
FLatpak and Snap runs in sandbox can't therefore not see outside its box, therefore it can't see udev rules.

However with Flatpak you can install "flatseal" to give some of your flatpak applictions permission to see outside its box.

I know a bunch of people here on the board that are running OpenRGB, they can tell you more specific how they did it.

Yes, the only version I saw in SWC was the Flatpack. I went to the website and installed this version and it looked like that did it. Thanks for the help!

Linux amd64 (Debian Bookworm .deb)

Good to hear :slight_smile:
