In the case of Zorin OS, install gnome-system-tools and in the manage groups section add your user name to the " dial out " permissions.

As for Linux Mint , open the System Settings scroll to the bottom under Administration then tap on Users and Groups. The click on Your user name. Look to the right bottom side of the pane and double click the groups list and add dial out.

I am new to Linux (Linux Mint 17.2 and Zorin 9.0). I have installed CHIRP on both computers. But I am unable to download from my Baofeng UV-3R or Baofeng UV-5R. In each case it appears it does not find, or allow me access to, the Com Port ttyS0, or any port for that matter. Probably something simple I do not know about being new to Linux. Can anyone please give me some advice? Thanks
