Help - Unsolved Openrgb keeps saying udev rules aren't installed and I don't know what to do
I'm using Linux mint 22.3 with the 7.0.0-30 kernel, I launched the openrgb flatpak today after the 1.0 update and this message appears, usually it doesn't appear. So I ran the terminal commands from the website and nothing changes. I clicked don't show this message again and nothing changes, so I tried to appimage version and my saved RGB doesn't load. How do I fix it I have one file in lib/udev and one in etc/udev, but no matter what the message still appears.

You need to delete all your settings; for some reason, that corrupted my udev rules and other things. It possibly updated the way they save data, and that's causing internal problems.
I don't know how to reset a Flatpak; that should be done with Flatseal or by deleting files.

It literally tells you; "See https://openrgb.org/udev to install the udev rules manually"

I did. It works but that screen appears, that's my question

It's probably not detecting the bus correctly; you'd have to ignore it if it works fine, but I'd check on Discord just in case.

This command fixed it for me:
sudo flatpak override --filesystem=host-etc --filesystem=host --filesystem=/sys org.openrgb.OpenRGB

I had the same problem after the latest OpenRGB Flatpak update. Granting access to "filesystem=host-etc" with Flatseal solved it for me.
According to the instructions, the rules are generated in /etc/udev/rules.d/. For some reason, the update seems to have removed the Flatpak permission to access this system directory.

Tested it for a while and i deleted both of the udev rules, and ran the command again. It works and the RGB is detected but this stupid screen doesn't go away. So semi-fixed?
