terminate called after throwing an instance of 'InputException' about xow

[medusalix]

That error is thrown when xow doesn't have the necessary permissions to open /dev/uinput (they're set by the udev rules). I'll add a corresponding notice to the README for future users.

Not sure what happened but after a reboot, I was trying to capture a wireshark and it turned out that all was working fine! Thanks!!

[aguaviva]

Awesome, I had a great time using the wireless controller, thanks for that :)

[FrandSX]

This behavior is happening with v0.4-11-gbea16b4 on latest retropie pi4 weekly image.
How would one add the necessary permissions?

[medusalix]

@FrandSX They should be set automatically by the udev rules that are added during installation. You might want to check if there are other udev rules that change the permissions back (like in issue #54).

I have a similar problem:
The LED also doesn't blink
How do I set these udev rules? @medusalix

[kakra]

Run sudo udevadm monitor -p in a terminal before connecting the dongle/controller, it should then show all udev rules applied when the device is detected.

But there may also be a problem that the dongle is already loaded with a firmware by the mt76 kernel module for wifi (I've seen this behavior while experimenting with xow). Could you also show the output of dmesg|grep mt and lsmod?

@kakra sudo udevadm monitor -p just keeps scanning, when I manually start xow with systemctl start xow, I get this:

dmesg|grep mt gives me back nothing

And finally lsmod gives out
