Problem accessing a Skylander Portal under Linux (Mint 17.3)

Hi leolam!

Thanks for stopping by. Yes, I was aware of that, but still no luck. I placed a file: 51-hidraw-permissions.rules at /etc/udev/rules.d containing:

Code:

KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", MODE:="0666", GROUP=="plugdev"

and yes, my user is part of the "plugdev" group by the way. It seems that permissions are well assigned as when I run: ls -lah /dev/hidraw* I get:

Code:

crw-rw-r-- 1 root plugdev 251, 0 Oct 23 10:34 /dev/hidraw0
crw-rw-r-- 1 root plugdev 251, 1 Oct 23 10:34 /dev/hidraw1
crw-rw-r-- 1 root plugdev 251, 2 Oct 23 10:34 /dev/hidraw2
crw-rw-rw- 1 root plugdev 251, 3 Oct 23 17:29 /dev/hidraw3

the hidraw3 is the portal, and the difference with the rest is 'cause I was playing with MODE:="0664" and MODE:="0666". But when I run Dolphin I still get the error:

Code:

Core/IPC_HLE/WII_IPC_HLE_Device_hid.cpp:582 E[WII_IPC_HID]: Dolphin does not have access to this device: Bus 001 Device 008: ID 1430:0150.

The strange thing is that in the past this rule used to work. I reinstalled my computer and had to do it again, but I have no idea why is not working now. Again, weird thing is that running Dolphin as sudo, all goes well. That's why I think it is a permissions problem.

Hope some of the ~449 other linux users see the post!
