Re: [chirp_users] Radio did not respond Baofeng UV-82
Thank you, did that, and used the ppa.
Regardless, sudo apt-get remove chirp-daily, but left the Python libraries.
Used wget to get today’s daily.
Under the Help menu, it displays CHIRP daily-20190321
I have enabled the developer functions.
I’ve tail -f /var/log/syslog to find any info. It shows what dmesg output when the cable was inserted.
Unsure what troubleshooting steps to try next, thx, sam kk4jzh

Yes, thx.
Ubuntu 14 xfce
chirpw -v returns version 4.0.0-RELEASE which has a date of 12/21/2013 That?s alarming, so I apt-get update and reinstalled chirp-daily In terminal, it unpacks to 20190319-trusty over the one I installed from last week.
Is this the version number? If not, how to get the info needed?, sam kk4jzh

Sam,
Tell us what operating system you are using, and which version of CHIRP.
Also include your callsign with your signature.

That's the problem. You are running a very, very old version of CHIRP. You must uninstall it and then install the latest daily build from the snapshot repository as shown on the download page and the "Running Under Linux" page.

Sam,
Please do this:
ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0
Send back the output.
Also send back the output of this when you are using your user (regular) account:
groups
It is important that you are in the group that owns /dev/ttyUSB0
I'm not using Ubuntu but Arch Linux, but here is my output to show you:
ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0 crw-rw---- 1 root *uucp* 188, 0 Mar 21 09:40 /dev/ttyUSB0
[djringjr@n1ea ~]$ groups video *uucp* wheel djringjr
I've made *uucp *bold so you can see the important part.
I believe /dev/ttyUSB0 in Ubuntu is owned by root tty - don't change it! Just make sure you are a member of whatever group that owns /dev/ttyUSB0.
Different distros handle devices slightly differently. The point is that if you are executing CHIRP and you are not a member of the group that owns the /dev/ttyUSB0 device, it will not work.
To add a user to a group - whatever group owns the ttyUSB0 -
sudo adduser user group
Where user is your user name and group is the group that owns ttyUSB0

I believe it is usually the "dialout" group.
