[chirp_users] So happy
I am learning fast. Got the PPA attached and the daily build installed via kind help and the website. Then hooked up the USB dongle and it would not work - no drivers, of course, after first plugging it in. I found somewhere to issue "DMESG" in terminal. I have no idea what that is but it was suggested by a web site to get the drivers installed and it got the correct drivers from somewhere, first try. Magic abounds!!
Then try to download from the radio and got a message error 13 that I don't have permissions to ttyUSB0. Another website said to issue: |sudo chmod 0777 /dev/ttyUSB0
That was the last bit to make it work. Got a download. Did not try to re-upload but I suspect it will work.
Thanks to all helpers. Happier now. Chipping away at the Ubuntu mystery. So much to learn.
Oh, special thanks to the packager of Chirp in the PPA. It automatically loaded & installed the three Python pieces and something else. Sweet!!

That works, but the permissions will probably be reset after a reboot upor reinsertion of the USB serial adapter.
I'm running Linux Mint, which is based on Ubuntu. On my computer /dev/ttyUSB*, as created, are owned by the 'dialout' group. The command 'ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0' should show you the owner and group, it might not be 'dialout' on your system.
Assuming that your user name is 'username' and the group of /dev/ttyUSB0 is 'dialout' then you can then add your own user to this group with the command:
sudo adduser username dialout
That way your user account will automatically have permission to use any serial ports on the system.
Andrew, you are right but after changing user group you have to logout and login again for changes to take effect. I mean a logout, not a full computer reset.
