[chirp_users] Linux and chirp

That is what I wondered too.
I always use USB0 on Linux, and only use the other ports in windows.

ttyS0 is usually a physical rs232 port. Are you sure that your laptop has such a port? Or do you use a usb cable and you should use ttyUSB0???

  I have loaded the daily build from flatpak and Chirp

  My radio is a Baofeng UV-5RV2+

  I followed the instructions in:

  + external editor and opening it back up in CHIRP:
  + 
  +     Start CHIRP
  +     Go to File > New to create an empty CSV file
  +  
  +     Add a memory to the first row, by entering a frequency
  + such as 146.52
  + 
  + 
  +     Go to File > Export to save the template file to something
  + ending with a .csv extension
  + 
  +     Open the file in your spreadsheet or external application of
  + choice, make edits and save

  +     Re-open the file in CHIRP to validate that the format is
  + still correct, by going to File > Open and choosing your file
  + 
  +     Optionally use File > Import to import the contents of your
  + CSV file into another radio image
  + 

  ...

  + If you have a clone-mode radio, upload the changes back to your
  + device using Radio > Upload To Radio. If you are using a
  + live-mode radio, wait until all of the changes finish
  + synchronizing back to the device by watching the status bar in
  + the lower right corner of the main window.

  So, when I plug in my radio, I see the following in
  /var/logsyslog:

  In Chirp I select Radio and slide down to select "Upload
  to Radio".

  I get a dialogue box saying:Port /dev/ttyS0, Bofeng,
  UV5R, I select OK. I get "An error has occurred Could configure
  port: (5, 'Input/output error')

  So just in case, I fiddles with the /dev/ttyS0
  permissions:

  crw-rw-rw- 1 root dialout 4, 64 Oct 25 11:15 ttyS0

  So what have I not done? What should I do?

  Yours
