Can't Customize RGB Keyboard

[Genya444]

Hi, I’m having trouble with my keyboard, and I believe it’s specifically related to Linux. I am using Mint 22.2 Cinnamon ver 6.4.8. When I use Chrome to try and modify my keyboard, I just get a string of errors. I’ve tried to add a .rules file as per this thread: VIA keeps giving errors, can't customize rgb macropad or keyboard

I have also tried following the directions found here: Frequently Asked Build Questions | QMK Firmware

This is just my third day using Mint, so I’m an absolute newbie and cannot figure out how to move the .rules file into the /etc/udev/rules.d/ folder. All I get trying to drag-and-drop is “Permission denied.”

I’ve included a couple screenshots of my errors in case they will be helpful. Thanks much for reading.

(If this should have gone elsewhere, please let me know and I will post in the appropriate forum. Thanks!)

Modifying system files/folders requires elevated permissions, so instead of dragging & dropping the file, typing this in the terminal will let you copy it over with those higher permissions:

sudo cp [path/to/file] /etc/udev/rules.d/

Thanks! After doing that and following up on the instructions from QMK Firmware, I got VIA to work. Now I just have to figure out which pretty colors and patterns will make my crow brain happiest.
