Solaar Permission Error

Question

I'm new to Ubuntu/Linux, and I've tried using Solaar, but I keep getting this Perm Error. I've tried looking it up already and found some fixes, that being said. I do not know how to follow any of the tutorials I found. (Haven't used much of Terminal yet)

Edit your question and show me ls -al /etc/udev/rules.d/42-logitech-unify-permissions.rules and ls -al /lib/udev/rules.d/60-solaar.rules and solaar --version. Start comments to me with @heynnema or I'll miss them. — heynnema, Apr 29 '21 at 21:14

How exactly do I write that command into the terminal? Writing it on it's own doesn't do anything — Mika, Apr 30 '21 at 06:44
See my full installation and setup instructions here: How do I install and configure the latest version of solaar to manage my Logitech wireless mouse or keyboard on Linux Ubuntu?. You're probably missing your udev rules, which is a step I cover. — Gabriel Staples, Feb 03 '22 at 00:34

In Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS, I suddenly started to have the same error. Upgrading Solaar fixed it, without the need to reboot:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:solaar-unifying/stable
sudo apt update
sudo apt install solaar

This upgraded my Solaar version from 1.0.1 to 1.1.8 and it works fine again.

For more info on the latest stable version, see

And see this comment in the Github issue tracker for more details

I managed to fix this by updating Ubuntu from 20.04 to 20.1. Took couple of restarts and then somehow solaar worked.
