# About Udev rules
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For these controllers to being recognized byt the system and so by RetroDECK is needed to set their own udev rule on SteamOS.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Udev rules are used to allow and manage the access to a specific third party usb device, so without a proper udev rule some devices such as the following ones could not be used by RetroDECK nor by the system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some notes on the udev rules:
|
||
|
|
- Setting an udev rule needs root access.
|
||
|
|
- The udev rule must be added when the emulator is not running, if it's running it must be restarted to acknowledge the change.
|
||
|
|
- The udev rules seems to be persistent even after a SteamOS update.

> **NOTE:** If running other Linux distributions the procedure might have some difference, please refer to a proper documentation or a web search.
