Arch Linux User Repository

@xiota thanks for the hint.

It seems to work correctly I need to run it as root/sudo. There are some hints about permission on the project page but did not get it all :-(

python-cairo is required to use this, it's an optional dependency of python-matplotlib, I don't know what the criteria is for the backend selection in matplotlib, but for me it's defaulting to GTK3Cairo, making python-cairo a dependency.

@katt I don't know what distribution you are using, but in Manjaro and Arch Linux, python-xdg and python-pyxdg are equivalent, I mean, when installing python-xdg it automatically chooses python-pyxdg, so for now I don't see the need to change that, and about python-cairo, this is not an application dependency, it does not appear in the compilation instructions nor is there any reference in source code to the python-cairo library.

Needs python-cairo, also needs to depend on python-pyxdg rather than python-xdg:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

It's out of date and missing a very good update

i rebooted, same.

@Gonzo2028 reboot and if your problem persists, open an issue in github with the description of the problem and the steps you have taken.

I need to use sudo to see the device. What can i do?
