<font face="Bitstream Charter"><small>I am learning fast. Got the
PPA attached and the daily build installed via kind help and the
website. Then hooked up the USB dongle and it would not work -
no drivers, of course, after first plugging it in. I found
somewhere to issue </small><br>
<small>"DMESG" </small><br>
<small>in terminal. I have no idea what that is but it was
suggested by a web site to get the drivers installed and it got
the correct drivers from somewhere, first try. Magic abounds!!<br>
</small><br>
<small>Then try to download from the radio and got a message error
13 that I don't have permissions to ttyUSB0. </small><br>
<small>Another website said to issue: <code>sudo chmod 0777
/dev/ttyUSB0 <br>
<br>
That was the last bit to make it work. Got a download. Did not
try to re-upload but I suspect it will work.<br>
<br>
Thanks to all helpers. Happier now. Chipping away at the
Ubuntu mystery. So much to learn.<br>
<br>
Oh, special thanks to the packager of Chirp in the PPA. It
automatically loaded & installed the three Python pieces
and something else. Sweet!!<br>
