I installed a new live Ubuntu, on a thumb drive for a friend, and I <br>
installed Chirp for him, and plugged in my Kenwood and tried to download <br>
from radio, and first it did nothing.<br>
So I tried again, and I got the same error:<br>
error no 2 cannot find ttyUSB0<br>
No such file or directory.<br>
And this was on a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.43 with updates installed.<br>
Just like on my other computer that had the same issue.<br>
So in doing a web search on the problem, I found a YouTube where the guy <br>
suggested using lsusb and he found the device in his case, on USB1.<br>
So I went to terminal and found the prolific on USB1<br>
So then I found that in Chirp, it wasn't there before, I am fairly sure.<br>
So now I no longer get that error, but it still does not download from the <br>
radio, it just goes to the blank Chirp screen.<br>
Any ideas?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance.<br>

Jim,<br>
I just checked to add ubuntu-mate to the dialout and it tells me that<br>
ubuntu-mate is already a member of dialout.<br>
So there is a problem with it finding usb0.<br>
Could it be that a different radio's cable might be using a serial<br>
assignment?<br>
I've used the Tytera cable via USB and Baofeng's cable via USB and it has<br>
always been recognized.<br>
Note, the cable I'm stuck with for now is a USB cable that should go with a<br>
digital radio, the Radioddity GD77-S, so I don't know if it has something<br>
different to the cable.<br>
I accidentally sent the Baofeng cable along with the GD77-S that I traded<br>
for the Kenwood.<br>

Hi Glenn,<br>
<br>
>From what you are describing it sounds like you Linux user doen't have<br>
permission to access the port. Either run CHIRP as root or as your<br>
Linus user to the dialout group.<br>
<br>
I also have a Kenwood TH-F6a. CHIRP programs it in "live" mode.<br>
