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.
