Ubuntu New install, can't connect to device

[hollywoodpete]

I just received my Flirc on my 64-bit Ubuntu 13.10 machine. Since the repositories are down, I did a manual download. I can run the GUI but it gives the disconnected sign.

I suspect I need to add a line to my udev rules but have no idea what I should add or how to do it.

 

Any help would be appreciated

Well I fixed my own issue. I ran Flirc from the command line as root and it connected. I haven't tried it in my HTPC but at least it appears to work on my desktop

I just wrote up a long post with the exact same issue, then read your post and tried it as root and it worked perfectly.  Thanks mang.

I finally got all my debian packages up and running along with some rpm's. This should solve the issue, adds some udev rules, shouldn't need to run them as root. Let me know.
