[chirp_users] Linux user permissions
Took me a bit as I have never run into a permissions issue. Would someone like to add the sudo command to the Linux Wiki? I did not see anything there. Using n0cl as an example username.
sudo adduser n0cl dialout [sudo] password for user: Adding user n0cl to group dialout Done.

Still having issues writing to the FT-60 after a good read. I'll buy a USB cable soon and try this once more. Any steps I'm missing please let me know. The cable checks good on a meter and if it reads the radio it should write in theory. Doing the same thing now in Windows and Xubuntu. I will say the Linux version does not yell out an error it just does not work.

It is not necessary to restart. Logging out and back in will be sufficient.

Well it did not hurt. I was trying to point out that this is not documented and is a pretty critical step to leave out. Just trying to help since the program is still in a growing state. Again if it was added to the WiKi under Linux installs that would help quite a few people to come.

I usually don't worry about user permissions. If my user doesn't have them, I simply use "sudo". In some ways, this is far easier than trying to obtain user permissions for that specific user.
This is how my VINUX system is set up.

that may be true, but if it works properly, it works.
This just happens to be my preferred method if the app won't run SUID user.
However, one can CHOWN the app in order to have it run properly for the user (but then it makes life a pain for other users on the laptop or system, if any).
I will have to reread some stuff in the linux man pages (and those are a pain to read in braille, believe e).

sudo is for weenies (oh you Debian users.....bah! lol). Grab a copy of "Sams Teach Yourself Unix in 24 Hours. ISBN-10:0672328143" and get to reading (Matt is correct, "easier might not always be right"). I've been using this to teach our college IT students for 10 years. Unless you have upgraded a kernel or library there is no reason to reboot a *nix system... we have servers with uptime in excess of 4 years.

well, when you are blind and need an accessible out of the box installation, nothing is better than Vinux (debian based). Its a pain getting the other flavors up to operation with accessibility.
sudo isn't all that silly when you don't have a lot of choices.
