<pre wrap="">Running Linux Mint 18.2
Loaded newest release version of Chirp-daily (CHIRP daily-20171013)
When I try to download from radio, this error message is displayed before I
can press send on the radio
X An error has occurred
Could not configure port: (5, 'input/output error')
Attached png is screengrab
I did some further digging and tried the first 10 "ttyS*" with the same
results.
lsusb command provides bus and device numbers but not which ttyS* is in use.
Any Help?

<pre wrap="">I also run Linux Mint here. If you are using a USB based programming
cable you must scroll all the way down to the bottom of the list and
choose: /dev/ttyUSB0

Also make sure you are a member of the 'dialout' group (that is not
the default case, sadly) else no serial port's (of whatever type)
will be available to you.<br>
<br>
Open a terminal window, (and make it wide so lines don't wrap,
making it much easier to see what's going on.)<br>
<br>
Then...<br>
<br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace" color="#000099">dave-XPS-L502X
~ $ <b>groups</b><br>
dave adm <i>dialout</i> cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare
wireshark<br>
</font><br>
(Everything BEFORE and including the '$' is the system prompt on the
first line. Your machine will be different.<br>
The command 'groups' was the entered command. The line under that
is the system response)<br>
<br>
If 'dialout' does not appear in that list. Then do this...<br>
(Substitute <name> for <i>your</i> login username, sudo will
ask for your login password.)<br>
<br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace" color="#000099">dave-XPS-L502X
~ $ <b>sudo adduser <name> dialout</b></font><font
color="#000099"><br>
</font><br>
You'll see a reply saying if you've been added to the dialout group,
or are already a member.<br>
<br>
<i><b>If </b></i>you were just added to that group, then, log out
and log back in again (no need to reboot) and you'll now have access
to the serial ports.<br>
<br>
An easy way to find out what port something is assigned to, is
(again, in a terminal window) <br>
<br>
<font color="#000099">dave-XPS-L502X ~ $ <b>ls /dev/ttyU*</b><br>
/dev/ttyUSB0<br>
</font><br>
This will list all attached and configured USB based serial ports.<br>
<br>
If you have multiple USB serial devices, then do that before and
after connecting a new device, to find out what "device ID" the new
device is assigned to.<br>
<br>
Hope something here helps.<br>
