Have you tried to run as root?

Thanks! That worked! Now how can I tweak the solaar.desktop file to run solaar as root? Here’s what solaar.desktop looks like:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Solaar
Comment=Logitech Unifying Receiver peripherals manager
Comment[fr]=Gestionnaire de périphériques pour les récepteurs Logitech Unifying
Comment[hr]=Upravitelj Logitechovih uređaja povezanih putem Unifying i Nano prijemnika
Comment[ru]=Управление приёмником Logitech Unifying Receiver
Comment[es]=Administrador de periféricos de Logitech Receptor Unifying
Exec=solaar
Icon=solaar
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Keywords=logitech;unifying;receiver;mouse;keyboard;

X-GNOME-UsesNotifications=true

Alright, so it looks like if one wants to run Solaar as non-root, one must place this in /etc/udev/rules.d/.

(Make sure you reboot afterwards.)
