On running a Python script in vscode with the kivy package, the error of Permission denied:’/dev/input/eventX’ appears, where X is a number. To correct this error, open a terminal window and enter the following command:
$ sudo chmod u+r /dev/input/eventX <enter>
Above is only for one time execution. Error will repeat again if code is executed. To make it permanent, have to have:
$ sudo adduser $USER input
