[chirp_users] Use on VX5r

[Marty Hartwell]

Hi

I am a new member to the Chirp user group  and have a question.

I have downloaded Chirp to Xubuntu 12.04 using Synaptic Package
Manager and set it up to try to work with the VX5R. I get an error
message after trying to connect. The connection is via a USB to
serial adapter which has worked before with the rig. The software is
configured to use ttyUSB0 which is correct, I see that /dev/ttyUSB0
has permissions of:
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188,  0 Sep 23 17:22 /dev/ttyUSB0

So I put myself in the dialout group as such:
dialout:x:20:marty

and have rebooted the machine a couple of times since that time.
First is the entry in group correct, my login id is marty?

Second has anyone else had this problem with VX5R rigs.

The version of Chirp I am using is 0.1.12, I just loaded it yesterday
sometime.

On another not, I have a system running Win XP and loaded Chirp on it
too and am getting much the same response. Only on that system I
was connecting via serial port.
I was able to connect and download and modify using Vx5 Commander and
EVE, not very well mind you but it did work.

Any ideas.
