[chirp_users] Chirp and Ubuntu
I am new to the mailing list, so I apologize if this topic has been covered before.
I recently installed the latest daily build on Ubuntu 12.04. I am connecting to a Kenwood TH6A using a FTDI cable. My problem is that I am denied access to the port unless I run Chirp from the terminal as root.
Is there a solution to this issue?
Thanks, Patrick
IIRC you have to add your user name to the 'dialout' group.

you need to add yourself to the group that manages the com port. the fastest way I have found is to edit the groups file directly and append your username to the proper group. save it and you are on your way.

Thanks for the advice. After knowing I need to add to the dialout group, I found these instructions....

Worked right out of the gate.
Thanks
