In order to use Linux with ShapeShift, please follow the steps below.

  1. Update your UDEV rules. This needs to be done before updating your KeepKey.
  2. Update the KeepKey using the older KeepKey client to make it platform compatible.
  3. Close the older KeepKey client after updating when you return to the ShapeShift Platform.

How to Update UDEV rules:

Add the following UDEV rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/51-usb-keepkey.rules:

# KeepKey: Your Private Bitcoin Vault
# http://www.keepkey.com/
# Put this file into /usr/lib/udev/rules.d or /etc/udev/rules.d

# KeepKey HID Firmware/Bootloader
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="2b24", ATTR{idProduct}=="0001", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev", TAG+="uaccess", TAG+="udev-acl", SYMLINK+="keepkey%n"
KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2b24", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0001",  MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev", TAG+="uaccess", TAG+="udev-acl"

# KeepKey WebUSB Firmware/Bootloader
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="2b24", ATTR{idProduct}=="0002", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev", TAG+="uaccess", TAG+="udev-acl", SYMLINK+="keepkey%n"
KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2b24", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0002",  MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev", TAG+="uaccess", TAG+="udev-acl"

Then run sudo udevadm control --reload-rules. Unplug & replug your device. You do not need to restart your machine.
