Did you follow the instructions on this page? Especially steps 1 and 2.

Are you certain that the port is getting the name you expected?.

It may get a name ttyUSB0 or it may get something like ttyACM0. On some of my radios it gets USB and on others it gets ACM. I think that is related to the specific chipset in the programming cable (or maybe the linux distro used could be a factor) You may be able to run `ls /dev/tty*` before plugging in the cable and again after plugging it in to identify the name it actually is assigned.

In some cases it may be necessary to enter the device (port) name manually before chirp can see it. It also may be necessary to add your user to the `dialout` group for access to the device. If you have not already done so the command `sudo usermod -a -G dialout <username>` should add the user to that group. Then a logout and back in will be required before the group assignment becomes active.

Hi, I'm having trouble with CHIRP not recognizing any USB ports. I'm running LinuxMint 21, Mate. I've installed chirp-20250110-py3-none-any.whl per the instructions at /wiki/ChirpOnLinux. Other than needing to install python3-yattag, it went smoothly. Love how fast chirp loads over the flatpak I used to use a long time ago!

When I run chirp, and scroll through the ports, there are no USB ports listed. Tried "Help me" and got "Unable to determine a port for your cable. Check your drivers and connections." Under Mate System Reports/System Information, I see the cable listed under USB hub 1: Device-2: 1-2:40 info: QinHeng CH340 serial converter type: <vendor specific> driver: usbfs rev: 1.1 speed: 12 Mb/s chip-ID: 1a86:7523. I plugged my cable into a different USB port, cable appears under hub 2 in the report. So, my OS is recognizing the cable, on either USB port, but CHIRP does not.

Even tho I'm not getting a permission denied error, I tried "sudo usermod -a -G $(stat -c %G /dev/ttyUSB0) $USER" anyway, and got "stat: cannot statx '/dev/ttyUSB0': No such file or directory." Same error when I tried command for USB1 and USB2.

Any suggestions on how I can resolve?

Thanks much,

Three days ago I upgraded Chirp with the latest & greatest. Everything went south. Chirp would load and I would not load IMGfiles. Just sits there with a blank Chirp screen. Will load CSVfiles.

Unintall arereinstalled. Same results. Uninstall and purged. Same results. Sonow I am dead in the water.

Tried uploading froma radio. Could connect to the radio and set the USB port but keepgetting a zero error.

Going to try runningunder Tails until I can get it fixed. . Has anyone been down thisroad?
