[chirp_users] Having troubles

[holmziep at netscape.net]

Have the Yaesu 857 w/ oem serial cable, then a good FTDI Serial/usb adapter.  Running Linux Mint 19.3.  

Got the dreaded error [Errno 13] could not open port /dev/ttyS0: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/dev/ttyS0'

Searched long and hard, Done everything, Dan and others say to do,  carefully, no luck.  Here's some commands and results:
