How to install Solo2 udev rules
Problem
When using a Solo2 hardware cryptokey, you may need to install udev rules to ensure that the device is recognized correctly by your system.
Either run `sudo solo2 update`, or install <https://github.com/solokeys/solo2-cli/blob/main/70-solo2.rules>
Specifically, you need this line:
SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1209", ATTRS{idProduct}=="b000", TAG+="uaccess
Solution
To install the Solo2 udev rules, follow these steps:
You can download the 70-solo2.rules
file from the Solo2 CLI repository. Use the following command to download it directly to the udev
sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/solokeys/solo2-cli/main/70-solo2.rules -O /etc/udev/rules.d/70-solo2.rules
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
sudo udevadm trigger
