Hello! So I'm turning a laptop with a broken screen in a Kodi mediacenter, when I launch kodi-standalone as root, everything works as expected. However, when running as a normal user it won't accept any input from keyboard or mouse, kodi itself is running, so not freezing or anything.

When looking through the logs, I assume this is pointing towards the issue
Code:

2024-12-10 18:54:08.601 T:2276    error <general>: open_restricted - failed to open /dev/input/event3 (Permission denied)
2024-12-10 18:54:08.601 T:2276    error <general>: open_restricted - failed to open /dev/input/event12 (Permission denied)
2024-12-10 18:54:08.601 T:2276    error <general>: open_restricted - failed to open /dev/input/event11 (Permission denied)
2024-12-10 18:54:08.601 T:2276    error <general>: open_restricted - failed to open /dev/input/event0 (Permission denied)
2024-12-10 18:54:08.601 T:2276    error <general>: open_restricted - failed to open /dev/input/event2 (Permission denied)
......


Does this mean I need to make some udev rules? It seems a bit weird as behavior.

Full-paste: https://bpa.st/62YQ

I disabled the X useflag on kodi, as I would prefer to work it with GBM,but maybe that's a mistake.

Thank you

I guess your "normal user" is not part of "input" group.
