I'm not near any machines of mine that aren't Chromebooks. Does anyone know if the libudev.so.0 stuff is fixed? I don't see any mention of it in the change log, but I was really hoping they would have a fix for those of us not on Ubuntu so we don't have to symlink the new libudev.so.1 to so.0 just to use light table (yes other hacks exist, this was the most prevalent one...)


unforunately no. It's an issue carried over from node-webkit[1] and I'm not really a Linux guy :/ Someone could work on a fix for node-webkit, though and I'd pick it up in a heartbeat

Thanks for the quick response. I'll try to find some time to look into this. I know Chromium links to libudev for input device support so that it can do things like gestures, but I don't know that LightTable supports (will support?) them. It may be possible to do away with that linking but I may have to dig into the chromium code to do it.


I think Node uses it too and there's no way around that one I don't think.
