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
Now i'm scared to let Ubuntu install the latest updates...

The [hid] code is the same, perhaps something you set up before just
took effect with the updates. Did you follow the HID on Ubuntu docs
on puredata.info?

Thanks for your reply Hans. No, i didn'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. Do you think it's safe to update ubuntu, or is there a risk that it spoils everything?
I think it's weird because i've read that hid access was getting more and more restricted with new developments in linux.
