Cannot use keyboard within Qt app without sudo
I have an embedded Qt application crosscompiled that runs on BeagleBone Black. It works Ok, but one thing- It doesn't accept keyboard input if I won't run in directly on BeagleBone Black preceeding with sudo. This is a problem because:
- I cannot remote debug application and use connected keyboard, as it doesn't work,
- I cannot use keyboard when the app is in
rc.localfile to boot at startup (even thoughsudois used there).
My /etc/enviroment content is here:
QWS_MOUSE_PROTO=IntelliMouse:/dev/input/mouse0
QWS_KEYBOARD=LinuxInput:/dev/tty
TSLIB_CONFFILE=/etc/ts.conf
TSLIB_PLUGINDIR=/usr/lib/ts
Although I have tried many different configurations for QWS_KEYBOARD. The keyboard I would like to use is /dev/input/event1.
Here are my persmissions:
My application rights are:
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 353100 Mar 2 2015 OvenViewer
And the input device rights are:
crwxrwxrwt 1 root root 13, 65 Mar 1 21:45 event1
I have set the rights in a file /etc/udev/rules.d/85-pure-data.rules:
KERNEL=="event1", MODE="777"
linux keyboard c++ input qt

I'm guessing this is Qt 4.x, given theQWS_*variables? This is definitely version-dependent.

Yes this is Qt version 4.8. @BasileStarynkevitch I have created a rule in/etc/udev/rules.d/where i added lineKERNEL=="event1", GROUP="keyboard", MODE="666". Then I added both user debian and root to group keyboard. didnt help :/
