Hello all,
I really appreciate al the help and suggestions given. All informative and useful.
Turns out that old age has gotten the better of me and stupidity has set in with a vengeance.
I had not plugged in the cable (duh !!), so there was nothing to be detected. Now all is well, and CHIRP works fine. In fact it feels more stable than on Windows XP.
So again thanks for a job well done.
{ Now who knows about a good HF rig control program for UBUNTU?}

Hi there,
Well, I got CHIRP to work fine with my handy little Baofeng UV-5R on Windows XP. [well done fellows !!]
I now have it running on UBUNTU, except it looks for a tty(x) driver, and I use a USB cable.
What do I have to do so that I can use this cable? Do I need a Linux driver? And if so, where do I get one?
All of the drivers are included with Ubuntu and loaded automatically (easy, eh?).
You will probably find your cable at /dev/ttyUSB0.

Also get a listing of /dev/USB01 with the -l for long listing.
Then check the group and see if you have privledges to "hear" and "send" through that device.

I'm not at the rig, so I don't have a USB01 device - but my user groups are: dr adm lp dialout fax cdrom floppy tape sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare
Where dr is my username group.
You have to add yourself to dialout if I remember correctly, that article will help or just do:
sudo nano /etc/group
or if you want to use gedit in X windows. sudo gedit /etc/group
Find dialout it will look something like this - the number may differ. dialout:x:20:
At the end of that line add your user name like I will add mine: dialout:x:20:dr
Save the file, and exit. Control O and control X if using nano.
Best to you,
David
