The following steps describe the installation and configuration steps for standard installations of Ubuntu 10.04 through
13.10. Different Linux versions may require these steps to be modified.
Note: command sequences entered into a terminal window are shown highlighted.
1. Extract the files from the archive.
2. Open a terminal window (CRTL+ALT+T), and cd to the NEC_MultiProfiler_x64 folder.
3. Set the device permissions to allow communications access to the display via USB and DDC/CI from a user account.
1) As su root or sudo, copy the 55-NEC.rules file to /etc/udev/rules.d/
sudo cp "55-NEC.rules" "/etc/udev/rules.d"
Important: On Ubuntu 13.04 and higher, the rules directory has been changed to /lib/udev/rules.d/
so use
sudo cp "55-NEC.rules" "/lib/udev/rules.d"
2) The device permissions need to be reloaded by either:
a) Disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable to the display.
or
b) As su root or sudo, run /sbin/udevadm trigger to load the changes
sudo /sbin/udevadm trigger
