just got my uwu, and it seems that wootility is failing on nixos when trying to update

#

my udev rules are set as such:

 udev = {
      extraRules = ''
        SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03eb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="ff01", TAG+="uaccess"
        SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03eb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="ff01", TAG+="uaccess"
        SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03eb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2402", TAG+="uaccess"
        SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03eb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="ff02", TAG+="uaccess"
        SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03eb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="ff02", TAG+="uaccess"
        SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03eb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2403", TAG+="uaccess"
        SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="31e3", TAG+="uaccess"
        SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="31e3", TAG+="uaccess"
      '';
    };```

#

everything seems good udev wise, as i can get the uwu to connect just fine, but it throws An error occured while completing the update everytime the firmware tries to update.

#

are there any known issues with the wootility beta with nix? and are there any known workarounds?

#

also note: this is wootility on web, not the one in nixpkgs

winter wharf Oct 17, 2023, 6:42 PM

#

What on earth is a Nixos.

#

Are you using the wootility beta?

wicked jolt Oct 17, 2023, 6:42 PM

#

correct

#

nixos is a well, complicated linux distro

#

it makes stuff like this a tad bit harder

winter wharf Oct 17, 2023, 6:43 PM

#

Goootcha. Well Linux is outside of my area of expertise. Someone who knows Linux can probably help. 🙂

wicked jolt Oct 17, 2023, 6:44 PM

#

all good! im gonna attempt some ideas i have on my end to try and remedy. this is going to be a very edge case issue though for sure

wicked jolt Oct 17, 2023, 8:24 PM

#

no luck so far, i'm pretty stuck with this. will just have to use it with ootb settings for now

~~thats ancient rules~~

#

~~please check the help page here for the current ones https://help.wooting.io/en/article/wootility-configuring-device-access-for-wootility-under-linux-udev-rules-r6lb2o/~~

#

nvm me

#

due to the format it looks like the old ones

#

are you using the beta of wootility web?

wicked jolt Oct 17, 2023, 10:11 PM

#

thats correct

digital wing Oct 17, 2023, 10:12 PM

#

so connect uwu, do update, it asks to give restore permission, you give it perms, it fails?

#

or where does it fail otherwise

wicked jolt Oct 17, 2023, 10:13 PM

#

digital wing so connect uwu, do update, it asks to give restore permission, you give it perms...

pretty much spot on yeah

#

#

hangs after this screen

#

then throws

#

#

it does detect the uwu just fine, failpoint is actually installing the firmware update

digital wing Oct 17, 2023, 10:15 PM

#

anything in the browser console?

#

or network when this happens?

wicked jolt Oct 17, 2023, 10:16 PM

#

one sec, ill get you logs

#

weird, its not giving me the update screen anymore. ill send logs once i can get back there

digital wing Oct 17, 2023, 10:17 PM

#

it should tell you if theres updates anyway in settings

wicked jolt Oct 17, 2023, 10:18 PM

#

actually, it doesnt, its odd

#

do you know the latest firmware atm?

#

mine is @ v2.6.28-prod

digital wing Oct 17, 2023, 10:18 PM

#

hm i believe theres a system for switching from the factories firmware build to the current build

#

v2.7.0-beta.1

wicked jolt Oct 17, 2023, 10:20 PM

#

weird... this is what it shows if i head to settings

digital wing Oct 17, 2023, 10:20 PM

#

disconnected

wicked jolt Oct 17, 2023, 10:20 PM

#

it also says its dced, but its not

digital wing Oct 17, 2023, 10:21 PM

#

thats why no update

wicked jolt Oct 17, 2023, 10:21 PM

#

its connected, thats the thing

digital wing Oct 17, 2023, 10:21 PM

#

try replugging it or regiving permission for the device

wicked jolt Oct 17, 2023, 10:21 PM

#

if i try to unplug it / plug it back in state doesnt change

#

ill try perms again

#

i removed it and gave it perms again, now it hangs at

#

a system restart fixed this before

digital wing Oct 17, 2023, 10:23 PM

#

what browser are you using as a side question?

wicked jolt Oct 17, 2023, 10:23 PM

#

its weird that it needs a full restart though

#

brave currently

digital wing Oct 17, 2023, 10:23 PM

#

oh boi

wicked jolt Oct 17, 2023, 10:23 PM

#

also tried on plain chromium, and no cigar

digital wing Oct 17, 2023, 10:24 PM

#

ah ok

#

we know brave can be uh

#

unwieldy with webhid/webusb

wicked jolt Oct 17, 2023, 10:24 PM

#

i see, i can give plain chromium another go

#

wootility isnt ff compatible is it?

digital wing Oct 17, 2023, 10:25 PM

#

no because ff and safari/webkit/apple dont want to implement googles half baked "standard"

wicked jolt Oct 17, 2023, 10:25 PM

#

figured yeah, classic

digital wing Oct 17, 2023, 10:25 PM

#

google force the webhid/webusb into chromium so yeah

wicked jolt Oct 17, 2023, 10:26 PM

#

still hangs on chromium

digital wing Oct 17, 2023, 10:26 PM

#

sounds like an os problem

wicked jolt Oct 17, 2023, 10:26 PM

#

disregard the lightmode, nix shell things

#

figures, classic nix problem

digital wing Oct 17, 2023, 10:26 PM

#

ill sleep on it for the night maybe i have some idea

#

gnight

wicked jolt Oct 17, 2023, 10:27 PM

#

sounds good, ill try some workarounds that could work and update if i find anything. gn and ty!

winter wharf Oct 17, 2023, 10:28 PM

#

Quick side question. Can you tap the keys on the UwU and get output?

wicked jolt Oct 17, 2023, 10:28 PM

#

mhm

#

i was using it earlier, works just fine

winter wharf Oct 17, 2023, 10:28 PM

#

Great. So it's purely a question of getting a connection for the Wootility. That's always something 😄

wicked jolt Oct 17, 2023, 10:28 PM

#

so obviously my os detects it, just probably weird permission issues with the nix store or something

#

like i said earlier, really edge case issue here 😄

#

If it's really a permission issue you can manually change the permissions of the device nodes.
I also recommend to try the appimage and to maybe run that as root.

In the case it's not a permission issue it can be a problem with the connection. So I recommend to use the provided stock cable and directly connect the UwU to a USB port on the I/O panel on the back of the PC.

digital wing Oct 18, 2023, 6:54 AM

#

can nixos even run appimages?

fresh river Oct 18, 2023, 6:57 AM

#

https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Appimage

Appimage

#

Might be a silly idea, but try adding your user to the dialout group. I had a similar issue with esphome web flashing and that solved it (also on nixos)

fresh river Oct 18, 2023, 10:05 AM

#

The new udev rule approach should not rely on groups anymore. While I don't really know how that may distro implements the uaccess tag.

cant hurt to try. ill give it a shot later today once im back at my pc

i’ll also give the appimage a shot later aswell

wicked jolt Oct 19, 2023, 10:05 PM

#

some updates on this: cant figure it out still. tried pretty much everything suggested here (- the appimage since its a black screen for me on wayland, even with --no-sandbox)

Please show the list of connected usb devices. Please identify which device nodes belong to the Wooting and list them too.
