Pat Anderson, I would wonder if your odd setup is creating devices in some strange group instead of dialout. Mine shows:

For me running Ubuntu (16.04) on a Chromebook under Crouton (which is not a garden variety setup for sure), and using a cable with a counterfeit chip, it still "just works."  However, even though I am a member of the Dialout group, I still need to do the "sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0" each time. It is not a huge problem to do this, since I only program my Baofengs (UV-5R and UV-82HP) when I go from Washington to Arizona and vice-versa. It is most likely not CHIRP, not the cable, and not the Baofeng that is your problem.

For me, and for everybody I know, in Linux it "just simply works."  When for everybody else, it works, perhaps rather than blaming the program or the  OS, maybe you should start thinking, "What am **_I_** doing wrong?"
