It doesn't sound like you are be running a recent CHIRP daily build (and by recent I mean within the last year). About a year ago is when the VA-170 driver module last was edited and it has probably available much longer than that.
Don't use the Software Manager to install CHIRP. You do not want to be running a CHIRP v0.1.x, v0.2.x or v0.3.x build. You must manually install a daily build using the instructions on the "Running CHIRP Under Linux" page.

Although the packages required are a little different, I just did this last week to install CHIRP on the Raspbian Jessie OS running on my Raspberry Pi 2.

Jim The version on the bootable CD is "Daily 20140206" the version on the debian software is CHIRP 0.4.0,

Both way too old. You need to perform the update process on the CHIRP Live CD to get current daily build installed. Unfortunately it has been a long time since I have used this version so I can't say for sure if the update process still works.
You must not install CHIRP using the Debian software manager. You will get the v0.4.0 version that is more than 3 years old. You must completely uninstall this version and manually install it as I mentioned earlier.

We keep insisting that Linux (and possibly Mac) users add themselves to the "dialout" group.
Didn't work for me. My system allocates /div/ttyUSBx to the "serial" group so if you cannot access your USB/serial ports, check permissions for the /dev/ttyUSBx device to see which group it's a member of.

Good point. dialout was the defacto standard for so long that us long term *NX people still go by it. It's like saying I'm going to tape something on my DVR. I guess now that modems and serial interfaces are legacy items on most computers it would make sense for the newer distros to make them separate. I'm actually glad you made this post. I have a script I use to install the FLdigi suite and other apps on new computers and I didn't include adding the user to required group.
Can I ask which distro you are using?

I think it's Xubuntu 16.04 but it's running as a CHROOT on top of Chrome OS using Chrome's kernel for hardware access. Installed using the Crouton scripts. I haven't yet looked at FLDIGI with my Navigator interface to see which groups it's 6 USB ports fall into.

Navigator Interface under FLDIGI is also in the serial group.

I imagine your setup is going to be a bit of a hybrid but it's strange that if you're running Xubuntu, it's not using the usual "dialout" group. A long time ago, it was the "uucp" or "cu" groups to get you serial access.
