Hi,
Is anyone here using a Logitech wireless mouse our keyboard or whatever using a "unifying receiver". Any luck with pairing new devices with the unit?
I've tried various different programs from the net that's supposed to be able to do this, but they all fail in one way or the other. "pairing_tool" and "ltpair" will exit with a "broken pipe" message, while PyUnify.py from https://github.com/AveryLouie/BlogDocs fails says "usb.core.USBError: Input/output error", and solaar (installed via the EPEL Testing repo) fails in the following manner:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/solaar-cli", line 42, in <module> solaar.cli.main() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/solaar/cli.py", line 429, in main args = _parse_arguments() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/solaar/cli.py", line 421, in _parse_arguments logging.root.addHandler(logging.NullHandler()) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'NullHandler'
This is on a CentOS 6 x86_64 system with all updates installed.
Any other ideas?
In case you don't know how these units work, note that they generally work just like that as long as you use the device and receiver from the same box, so as to speak. The problem is linking a device to a different receiver - which is supported, but requires software.

It's related in that it's related (!) to the same type of device, but not the same issue, I think. The report is about using a mouse that's already paired to a certain receiver, while I'm unable to set up the paring. I also have units that are already paired, though, and they work just fine.

In Fedora there are two applications that can be used to both monitor and also pair Logitech devices through the Unifying receiver. One is named "Solaar" and the other, I believe, is a command-line utility (maybe what was already mentioned above).
Maybe these can be considered for EPEL, and maybe some in older Fedora releases (if they existed then) can be installed straight as an RPM into CentOS 6 (though that's highly unlikely).

Oh gosh, maybe I should read the whole first e-mail before reply...I'm sorry, that's exactly what you were talking about. My apologies. First post to the list and it's useless. :)

`logging.NullHandler` was added in python 2.7, so you could perhaps try getting that (python) from SCL [1]. Getting solaar's dependencies for the 2.7 installation might have to be done manually though.
With things installed: scl enable python27 "python2.7 /usr/bin/solaar-cli"
A bug report to wherever it belongs would likely be appreciated, if you haven't already done that.

Ah, I wasn't really aware of that repository and the related software selection mechanism. Thanks.

Yes. I had to copy across lots of site-package files from the solaar distribution, but got it up and running. Only the "cli" variant, though, the graphical version still complains about a missing module ("pything-gi"), which it also does with python 2.6 (I don't think I mentioned this earlier.)
With things installed: scl enable python27 "python2.7 /usr/bin/solaar-cli"
So, it's working in theory, but I get
# scl enable python27 "python /usr/bin/solaar-cli show" solaar-cli: error: Logitech receiver not found
Which I suppose might indicate the same type of issue as for the other programs... The result is the same if I pass the dev file path on the command line.
A bug report to wherever it belongs would likely be appreciated, if you haven't already done that.
I haven't done this yet, since the package came from a "testing" repository and all, but perhaps I will.
Meanwhile I've been able to do the pairing I wanted right now via a "virtualbox" installation and the software from Logitech. Which is like admitting defeat, of course :-(
