RoasTime on Linux without systemd

After some research and guidance from @matthew, can conclude that RoasTime doesn’t work on non-systemd Linux distros. Nevertheless it works fine on Ubuntu 18 and 19.

I’m running Roastime on QEMU/KVM assigning the hostbus/hostport (-device usb-host,hostbus=1,hostport=1) to the guest OS. This works either for Ubuntu or Windows 10.

On Linux Is still required to manually add some udev rules in order to have proper permissions to Roastime detect the roaster as non-root.

/etc/udev/rules.d/99-aillio.rules

SUBSYSTEM==“usb”, ATTRS{idVendor}==“0483”, ATTRS{idProduct}==“5741”, MODE=“0666”
SUBSYSTEM==“usb”, ATTRS{idVendor}==“0483”, ATTRS{idProduct}==“a27e”, MODE=“0666”

And some information that might be useful to be posted here.

Thank you very very much for your information! I think you might be on the only one using Linux (except some of the developers) and I am glad you got it working.

This is good to know, as I have been thinking of going back to good old SysV.

I use it on Linux! There are dozens of us… dozens! Worked generally fine for me out of the box, but I can’t seem to update firmware using it.
