Hello. I’ve installed Silverblue and Blockstream Green (Flatpak), which is a Bitcoin wallet. For added security, I need to connect this app to my Jade Hardware Wallet via USB. The problem is that when I connect them, the app asks me to make changes to the “users” in Silverblue from the Terminal, but I can’t. Can anyone help me? Thanks.
Are you needing to do something similar to: How to add myself to the dialout group? - #7 by deathwish

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work in Silverblue. I don’t know what to do… I’m frustrated.
Can you describe what steps you’re having problems with?

I need to connect the Jade to the app, but since it doesn’t connect via USB, I have to follow the instructions in this link, but I can’t get it to connect.

Which portion of the troubleshooting have you done?
In a terminal as your user if you type groups what do you get.

- When I type in Terminal Groups, I get: my “user” wheel.
- I have written the commands indicated, changing my “user”:
sudo adduser yourusername dialout or
sudo usermod -a -G dialout yourusername
sudo adduser yourusername plugdev or
sudo usermod -a -G plugdev yourusername
sudo adduser yourusername uucp or
sudo usermod -a -G uucp yourusername
To add your user to the dialout group:
grep -E '^dialout:' /usr/lib/group | sudo tee -a /etc/group
usermod -a -G dialout $USER
I had to reboot for the changes to show up.
The plugdev and uucp groups don’t exist so to add those:
sudo groupadd plugdev
sudo groupadd uucp
usermod -a -G plugdev $USER
usermod -a -G uucp $USER
I would start with the dialout group before adding new ones.
not working
Can you provide the journal output from when you plug it in?
journalctl --no-pager --no-hostname --since=-5m
You might need to reach out the makers of the device for additional assistance.
It’s not working. I’ll report the issue to Blockstream and go back to Workstation. It’s a shame I can’t use it. Thanks.
