[chirp_users] Download From Radio under Ubuntu 20.04 error

Tue Apr 6 17:19:45 PDT 2021

Hi Matthew, user is in the dialout group, which is the correct group for /dev/ttyUSB0.

rabbit at ganymede:~$ cat /etc/group | grep -i rabbit
adm:x:4:syslog,rabbit
dialout:x:20:rabbit
cdrom:x:24:rabbit
sudo:x:27:rabbit
dip:x:30:rabbit
plugdev:x:46:rabbit
lpadmin:x:120:rabbit
lxd:x:131:rabbit
rabbit:x:1000:
sambashare:x:132:rabbit
rabbit at ganymede:~$ ll /dev/ttyUSB0
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Apr  6 19:10 /dev/ttyUSB0

I wasn't sure that there may be a new graphical device manager I did not know about in Ubuntu. And why not? I don't think there is a System menu, either! So back to the command line...I started with Slackware 0.96, so not a noob to Linux, but it has been awhile since serious sysadmin hacking and never before any serial work. I am a noob to Chirp. As I mentioned earlier, my ham radio appears to be on /dev/ttyUSB0:

rabbit at ganymede:~$ dmesg | grep tty
[    0.108706] printk: console [tty0] enabled
[    0.396467] 00:05: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A
[    0.418518] 0000:00:16.3: ttyS4 at I/O 0xf0e0 (irq = 19, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A
[    3.348131] usb 1-1.1.3: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0

Kindly,
Robert
