su root and do /lsusb and see if the port exists there. If not do a /dmesg | more
and scroll through the list of kernel messages to see if you can spot anything
odd.

Subject: [chirp_users] Chirp not showing USB ports in Linux

I need some help here please. I have LinuxMint 14 installed on my
laptop. Mint sees my USB cable as ttyUSB0. However, all Chirp sees is
tty0 and above, no USB anything, thus I can't begin to connect to
anything until I can get Chirp to recognize my USB ports.
