Now i'm scared to let Ubuntu install the latest updates...
Hello,
I recently mentioned in a post that i had to run pd as root in order to use HID.
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.
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.
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?
I'm happy right now.
Pierre
