Ledger live linux install#

It seems to impact every Linux install unless they happen to be logged into the GUI as the “root” user already. I’m not sure why Ledger’s installer doesn’t take care of this. It’s not fun or ideal but if the udev rule solution won’t work it’s an option. One way to work around it is to actually log completely out of your desktop as your regular user and actually sign in as root. This fix will work for some people but many of you will have GPU related errors. You may also launch the Ledger image as sudo and pass it a special command: sudo. You should meet with success! Alternative Fix: Launch as sudo Once these are added relaunch Ledger Live and try now. This is pulling from the official Ledger GitHub repository so the rules it adds are safe. Here is the fix: wget -q -O - | sudo bash Fixing Udev Rulesīy adding some udev rules to Linux we can fix the USB device permissions issue. You will very likely find that it will fail to connect to your device during the genuine check. You want to set this file to executable and run it like this (assuming you saved it to your Downloads folder): cd ~/DownloadsĬhmod +x ledger-live-desktop-2.45.1-linux-x86_64.AppImage This version of the Ledger has Bluetooth so you are able to use it with your cell phone Ledger Live app wirelessly.
