Mageia forum

Hi,

I am trying toi use my ShuttleXpress "jog shuttle" in kdenlive.

The only way I can get kdenlive to "see" the device is to start kdenlive in root mode.

I have tried this in mageia 2 and 3 with the same results.

There are some posts in the kdenlive forum suggesting that a new udev rule would fix it. I have tried this but it did not help.

[SOLUTION] Re: jog shuttle only works when run as root . . .

Managed to figure out a solution.

I found this issue in a Google search (in fact, found the same query, made by . . . me . . . in 2005 while using Kino on Mepis, with helpful answer from Mads Bondo Dydensborg, who I believe was a developer for Kino at the time - http://osdir.com/ml/video.kino.devel/20 ... 00027.html). I tried doing what I did then, with some help from the instructions at: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/g ... O_-_Set....

1. Create a new file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-input.rules as follows:

brodi@KITCHEN:~$ gksudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/99-input.rules

with the following text:

KERNEL=="event*", NAME="input/%k", MODE="660", GROUP="users"
KERNEL=="js*", NAME="input/%k", MODE="664", GROUP="users"

This creates a new udev rule.

2. Reboot, or reload the udev rules with the following;

sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart

3. Start Kdenlive as usual.

The JogShuttle should now work as a regular user.

Please can someone advise me how to get this peripheral runnin with kdenlive and Mageia

many thanks

A further bit of information

Output of dmesg when plugging jogshuttle in:-

Code: Select all: [ 108.690004] usb 1-1.3: new low-speed USB device number 4 using ehci-pci [ 108.779919] usb 1-1.3: New USB device found, idVendor=0b33, idProduct=0020 [ 108.779924] usb 1-1.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [ 108.779927] usb 1-1.3: Product: ShuttleXpress [ 108.779929] usb 1-1.3: Manufacturer: Contour Design [ 108.785102] input: Contour Design ShuttleXpress as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.3/1-1.3:1.0/input/input12 [ 108.785382] hid-generic 0003:0B33:0020.0003: input,hidraw2: USB HID v1.10 Device [Contour Design ShuttleXpress] on usb-0000:00:1a.0-1.3/input0

The jog shuttle has two rotary rings, simulating mouse movement, and five push buttons.

I have found another reference:- https://github.com/threedaymonk/shuttle ... ress.rules

Here he states:-

# Copy to /etc/usb/rules.d/
SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0b33", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0020", SYMLINK+="shuttlexpress", MODE="0666"

Please could someone explain the correct usuage of the udev rules in this case?

many thanks

Patrick
