As someone else mentioned, you need to be a member of the dialout group /dev/ttyUSB0 is correct. Click on any folder to open file manager. My preferred file manager id caja. You might have something else installed depending on which desktop you're using.

Nigel,
Here is some more info, I think this is saying it is attached to /dev/ttyUSB0, but same issue.

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
