Hi Matthew, user is in the dialout group, which is the correct group for /dev/ttyUSB0.
rabbit@ganymede:~$ cat /etc/group | grep -i rabbit adm:x:4:syslog,rabbit dialout:x:20:rabbit cdrom:x:24:rabbit sudo:x:27:rabbit dip:x:30:rabbit plugdev:x:46:rabbit lpadmin:x:120:rabbit lxd:x:131:rabbit rabbit:x:1000: sambashare:x:132:rabbit rabbit@ganymede:~$ ll /dev/ttyUSB0 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Apr 6 19:10 /dev/ttyUSB0
I wasn't sure that there may be a new graphical device manager I did not know about in Ubuntu. And why not? I don't think there is a System menu, either! So back to the command line...I started with Slackware 0.96, so not a noob to Linux, but it has been awhile since serious sysadmin hacking and never before any serial work. I am a noob to Chirp. As I mentioned earlier, my ham radio appears to be on /dev/ttyUSB0:
rabbit@ganymede:~$ dmesg | grep tty [ 0.108706] printk: console [tty0] enabled [ 0.396467] 00:05: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A [ 0.418518] 0000:00:16.3: ttyS4 at I/O 0xf0e0 (irq = 19, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A [ 3.348131] usb 1-1.1.3: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0
Kindly, Robert

Hi Robert,
You might want to check to make sure your user has proper permissions.
In linux, typically the groups you might need for this kind of
operation include `dialout`, `usb`, and while you're at it you might
as well include `plugdev`.
The command to add your user to a group might be `sudo gpasswd -a <user> group`.
Once thats finished you might need to refresh your profile. Either try
opening CHIRP in a new terminal, or log out and log back in.

Usually /dev/ttyUSB0 unless you already have another serial device already plugged in to a USB port.
Go to file manager and look in /dev/ and see what appears and disappears when you plun in and unplug the cable.

Hello,
Total noob, here. Taking my exams on Thursday. Got my TIDRADIO UV-5R and the FTDI cable. How can I detect which /dev/tty is being used for the FTDI connection to my radio? I tried /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttyUSB0 which resulted in the error 'Radio did not respond'.
Kindly,
Robert
