A permnissions error will require that you add your user to the dialout group.
I also have some sub-generic programming cables that will turn on the transmit when plugged into the radio. My solution is this:
[] Leave the radio powered off. Plug in the cable. [] Try to download via Chrip, and ignore the error (radio not responding) [] Turn on the radio. The TX light shouldn't be on. [] Retry downloading from the radio - it should work just fine.
I believe it has something to do with either the firmware on the USB/Serial device itself, or the way in which its state is set upon initialization.

OH, forgot! I am running ubuntu also. You may need to put yourself in the dialout group so it will address the usb port properly

I have a machine running Ubuntu Mate. When I connect and turn on my Baofeng UV-5R radio it will transmit and will not let me use Chirp. I also have a Windows 7 computer that does the same thing. Any help would be appreciated.
