Running MPLAB X with a PickIt 3 on Debian sid

Due to $JOB I need to work with MPLAB X (I wish I could simply open Qt Creator...). MPLAB X's installation went straightforward, but I could not make the PickIt 3 to work.

So I ran MPLAB X from a console and got:

$ /opt/microchip/mplabx/v4.15/mplab_ide/bin/mplab_ide  
libusb couldn't open USB device /dev/bus/usb/006/013: Permission denied.


Yes, I rebooted my machine previous to running MPLABX (a udev restart would have been enough though) but something is not yet working.

Quick and dirty solution: chmod lisandro:lisandro /dev/bus/006/013

Yes, I'll have to re do this every time I plug the PickIt, but at least I've got it working.
