I wish they would put all the stuff on the chirp website so we can actually use it!

Make sure you're not running through an external USB hub or anything; connect directly to the computer.
Try disconnecting the cable, and then running:
user@host:~$ dmesg (a ton of system messages should stream by)
Then reconnect your cable, turn on radio/volume up (shouldn't be necessary for dmesg output, but might as well do it now), and run the same command:
user@host:~$ dmesg (all of the previous system messages, and hopefully something new indicating a usb->serial device like below) [430941.789785] usb 2-1.7: new full-speed USB device number 49 using ehci-pci [430941.883258] usb 2-1.7: New USB device found, idVendor=067b, idProduct=2303 [430941.883267] usb 2-1.7: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [430941.883272] usb 2-1.7: Product: USB-Serial Controller [430941.883277] usb 2-1.7: Manufacturer: Prolific Technology Inc. [430941.883801] pl2303 2-1.7:1.0: pl2303 converter detected [430941.885384] usb 2-1.7: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0
Assuming your system registers the usb->serial cable, you should see it in dmesg w/the device it was assigned (/dev/ttyUSB0 in my case -- vdir /dev/ttyUSB* is faster if you just need the device ID, but if vdir isn't showing anything, dmesg might give you a hint as to why).
I had to enter /dev/ttyUSB0 manually in the "Port" section of CHIRP -- it didn't show by default unless I restarted CHIRP after the cable was connected.

From a text box or terminal screen type "vdir /dev/ttyUSB*" and see what the results show. If nothing shows, your cable is not being recognised. If it shows, but not in chirp text box, type it in, and it should work.

When trying to download I get the message:
An error has occurred Could not configure port: (5, 'Input/output error')The environment is Ubuntu 14.04, Chirp daily -20150210, cable SCU-18 with power light on, HT in CLONE mode.
The Radio box presents port choices /dev/ttyS0 thru /dev/ttyS31 and I have tried many of these but not all, and always received the same exact message. There were no USB possibilities presented.
The message said nothing of permissions. I did check anyway and saw:
n4lbl@eel:~$ groups n4lbl n4lbl : n4lbl adm dialout fax cdrom floppy tape audio dip video plugdev fuse scanner lpadmin netdev sambashareso that seems OK.
The HT's internal code is ancient: from when I bought it in Nov. or Dec. '13. My intention was to back it up before upgrading the code.
This is sure to be a knuckleheaded mistake or something I didn't read or forgot. Thanks,,,
