Hi !
I have been using sidewinderd for a while in different distros and it has been working really well and it has been a great tool. So thanks a bunch for creating this.

However I have run in to a problem with my latest install.
I´m on Arch and I have tried both the sidewinderd and sidewinderd-git from tha AUR and I have tried to compile and installing it manually by downloading directly from this repo. But my problem is the same and it persists. After enabling and starting the service nothing happends and it doesn´t start.

When doing systemctl status sidewinderd.service in terminal I get this:

sidewinderd.service - Support for Microsoft SideWinder X4 / X6 and Logitech G105 / G710+
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/local/lib/systemd/system/sidewinderd.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)

I have looked for /root/.local/share/sidewinderd as mentioned in the errorcode, but it´s simply just not there. Any ideas or mabye point me in a direction as where to look ?

Hi,

thank you for the bug report!

If not configured after install, sidewinderd falls back to root user. If you change the user in /etc/sidewinderd.conf to your desktop user, it should work. We have hints for this in README, aswell as during your first install using pacman (https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/sidewinderd.install?h=sidewinderd). I think updating doesn't trigger the message, only new installs.

Please close the issue, if the above fixed it.

Cheers,
Tolga
