Questions[logitech-unifying](ubuntu)

When I run the command to update the firmware it states to manually be put in update mode. I've searched for an explanation but can't find anything that helps.

There's security update for the Logitech Unifying Receiver (see Screenshot).

Clicking the button does nothing.

I came across this post https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/109038/logitech-unifying-receiver-security-update/ Updating via command line doesn't work either

version of org.freedesktop.fwupd incorrect: failed predicate [0.9.2 ge 0.8.1]

The only Google result for the error message is https://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2017/05/22/updating-logitech-hardware-on-linux/ . But the comment mentioning it doesn't look resolved.

So how do I install the update? Correct me if I'm wrong, but 0.9.2 is greater than or equal 0.8.1 which means the predicate check is just broken?

I just installed Solaar to use with my Logitech K520. I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Solar 0.9.2 Each time I reboot, I must unplug and replug the receiver, and then turn off and on the keyboard. After that, everything works great. The error message is the same one given right after installation:

Found a Logitech Receiver (/dev/hidraw1), but did not have permission to open it. If you've just installed Solaar, try removing the receiver and plugging it back in.

I get the same error after quitting and restarting the program, although this doesn't seem to interrupt the function of the keyboard. (No need to unplug, etc.)

Any ideas? Thanks

After upgrading to 12.04, my Logitech M515 does not work here is some output from the terminal:

The cursor does not move. Also the mouse was working in 11.10 and is working in Windows NT 5.1.2600.

Logitech has a Unifying receiver that you can add several devices using the same USB device. Is this supported in Ubuntu and if so do I have to additionally configure something so that when adding a new wireless device it gets recognized by the same receiver.
