Description of problem: The Solaar tray/gui shows only the "Unifying Receiver" and "1 paired devices". However, when running "solaar show" from the command line, it shows the correct information (2 paired devices, one keyboard and one mouse): ~ solaar show Unifying Receiver Device path : /dev/hidraw0 USB id : 046d:c52b Serial : D7DF9CB1 Firmware : 24.00.B0018 Bootloader : 00.06 Has 2 paired device(s) out of a maximum of 6.

Permissions / ACLs on the device node are correct: getfacl /dev/hidraw0 getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: dev/hidraw0 # owner: root # group: root user::rw- user:raman:rw- group::--- mask::rw- other::--- This used to work fine in Fedora 21. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Name : solaar Version : 0.9.2 Release : 4.20150528gitcf27328.fc23.1
And after a reboot its working fine. So it seems to be a state issue of some type. If I can find a repro I'll post.
I can reproduce this reliably by switching the mouse and keyboard to another keyboard via my KVM, and then switching it back. In this situation, the mouse and keyboard work fine, as does the Solaar cli, but the GUI does not work, even if restarted. There was an error message about permissions on /dev/hidraw0, though those seem to be fine, as shown above.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
