Unable to use cli - The device has no langid

[kalenmike]

I am unable to get the cli to start.

System info:

Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS i3 4.22 Bus 001 Device 007: ID 046d:c900 Logitech, Inc. Litra Glow

Steps to reproduce:

pip install litra-driver

sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/82-litra-glow.rules <<< 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="046d", ATTR{idProduct}=="c900",MODE="0666"'

lc --help

I needed to reboot before it worked for me, I was getting the same error.

After installing the udev rules you can usually just unplug/re-plug the device into your computer to activate them -- that's what worked for me as it does with most udev rule issues.

Just a heads up that I've released a go version of this application , a single native executable for the cli and ui. Let me know if you can give it a try!
