Thanks for your reply Hans. No, i didn&#39;t do anything at all! I just installed plain Ubuntu 10.04, downloaded and installed Pd-extended 42.5, and some ubuntu studio packages, period. <br>Do you think it&#39;s safe to update ubuntu, or is there a risk that it spoils everything?<br>
<br>I think it&#39;s weird because i&#39;ve read that hid access was getting more and more restricted with new developments in linux. <br><br>Pierre<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/1/20 Hans-Christoph Steiner <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:hans@at.or.at">hans@at.or.at</a>&gt;</span><br>

 Hello,<br><br>I recently mentioned in a post that i had to run pd as root in order to use HID. <br>I just opened the hid object in ubuntu 10.04, without running pd a root, and much to my surprise it works flawlessly with my gamepad. <br>
 <br>Is the ubuntu distro just getting insanely awesome or what? I can use HID without being root and i get a 5ms latency without having to install a patched rt kernel. Is this heaven? Please pinch me. <br><br>Seriously, regarding HID, is this a security issue that will be fixed in the next updates or is it permanently there? Or did Hans fix something in the code?<br>
 <br>I&#39;m happy right now. <br><font color="#888888"><br>Pierre<br> </font></blockquote></div><br></div></div> _______________________________________________<br><a href="mailto:Pd-list@iem.at" target="_blank">Pd-list@iem.at</a> mailing list<br>
