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

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.
