Ledger Nano S on Linux

Requirement:

• Ledger Nano
• Ledger HW1
• Ledger Nano S
• Ledger Blue
• Special Edition

You need to create a set of udev rules to allow access to the device on Linux. This can be done easily by running the following command:

wget -q -O - https://www.ledgerwallet.com/support/add_udev_rules.sh | sudo bash

Arch Linux specific

If you still cannot access the Ledger Wallet, your user might not belong to the "plugdev" group - in this case, modify the above /etc/udev/rules.d/20-hw1.rules rule to match your group or add a OWNER="username" parameter to each line, username being your Linux user name.

Or edit /etc/udev/rules.d/20-hw1.rules and add the following

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2581", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1b7c", MODE="0660", GROUP="users"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2581", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2b7c", MODE="0660", GROUP="users"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2581", ATTRS{idProduct}=="3b7c", MODE="0660", GROUP="users"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2581", ATTRS{idProduct}=="4b7c", MODE="0660", GROUP="users"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2581", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1807", MODE="0660", GROUP="users"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2581", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1808", MODE="0660", GROUP="users"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2c97", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0000", MODE="0660", GROUP="users"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2c97", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0001", MODE="0660", GROUP="users"

Once you made changes to /etc/udev/rules.d/20-hw1.rules just reload them using admin privileges with udevadm

%>udevadm trigger
%>udevadm control --reload-rules

My Ledger Nano S has a product id of 1015 and needed this line: SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2c97", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1015", MODE="0660", GROUP="users"

Could be useful for Nano S Plus:

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2c97", ATTRS{idProduct}=="5015", MODE="0660", GROUP="users"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2c97", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0005", MODE="0660", GROUP="users"
