I am using ZORIN PRO 17.1. I just upgraded from 15.something. Chirp was working just fine on the 15. I'm using a BAOFENG UV-5R. I have tried 2 different cables, which both worked before this upgrade. I am pretty sure I am doing something wrong. That is what usually happens. I have tried /dev/ttyUSB0 up to USB4 with no success.
Use the command line, it shows you what is going on.
$cd /dev/ $ls -l ttyUSB* It will return something like: crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Apr 4 10:07 ttyUSB0
Now make it readable writable and executable by the user
$ sudo chmod 760 ttyUSB0
$ ls -l ttyUSB* crwxrw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Apr 4 10:07 ttyUSB0
That may fix the problem.
See
$man chmod
What am I doing wrong?
HTH, if not e-mail me julian@n6are.com
I have noted the instructions for using the Linux version of chirp are a bit terse, I have for my own satisfaction expanded them, if the chirp maintenance pundits are interested I will submit them for folding in.
By the way, the new and improved chirp is a major improvement, many thanks.
