i switched to linux a few weeks ago and im trying to get wootility to work so i can change the keybinds on my keyboard and i went through making the .rules file and replacing the placeholders in the template wootility gives but when i restarted my computer went back into the browser to try and connect my keyboard it just stayed and didnt change screens even though when i went to try and connect it again it said the keyboard was paired. anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Which Linux distribution?

#

I also had problems getting it to work under EndeavourOS in Chromium. But there's a Wootility in the AUR and that makes it work.

im on linux mint

I just checked. On EndeavourOS, 70-wooting.rules is not located under /etc/udev/rules.d/ but under /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/

#

Perhaps it's the same with Mint? Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with Mint.

ok i just found the folder and it has alot more files in it and im now trying to save the file there as well

Did you execute "sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger"?

bronze dust
#

Yup

Sorry, then I'm afraid I don't know what else to suggest.

it needs the XYZ- infront where XYZ is any number like 70 for example

#

so you should have a file with all the rules in it for all out keyboards and it should be called for example 70-wooting.rules although you can replace the word wooting with anything you want in the filename

so just to recap:

  • youre on linux mint (idk which version)
  • the file is located at /etc/udev/rules.d/70-wooting.rules
  • you reloaded the udev rules OR restarted the system
  • content of the file is exactly as described in the udev rules guide from us

And despite that it still doesnt work correct?

bronze dust
#

yes

#

here is a screenshot of the rules as described inside of the guide

ok i figured it out and im a idiot ;-; i thought in the guide you had to replace the information like 31e3 was to be replaced with the corresponding for the actual keyboard

vale granite
#

group plugdev?

#

no you just copy it out of the guide as is

yeah i just tried that and its working now thank you for trying to help me lol
