<p>Hey! It worked! I had to seat the cable one last click, as I
saw ttyUSB0 disappear and then appear on unplugging then
plugging in the USB and I also had ftdi_sio module installed. I
seated the cable firmly and read the radio config. <br>
</p>
<p>Thanks so much and I would say I apologize for all my encoding
BS clogging the thread on the wrong list. Forgive me my excess.
I do not mean to antagonize. Just searching for information to
become a productive member of the radio community.<br>

Try seating the cable with a little extra push. In some
cases, cables have even needed to be trimmed a bit to
properly seated.</div>

<p>Hi Eric,</p>
<p>Thanks for pointing me this way, although it seems I am not
auto configuring a module for ttyUSB0. I am attaching the
output of <br>
</p>
<blockquote>
<address>lsmod | sed -n 'p;$=' > lsmod-count.txt<br>
</address>
</blockquote>
<p>Where the last line is a line count. There is no changes in
this output between having the phoe unplugged versus
plugged, so perhaps that is an indicator that auto-config of
a module to talk to the radio is misfiring. I dunno. Is this
where modprobe comes in? What module name should I install
for Chirp managing traffic over ttyUSB0?</p>
<p>Thanks!<br>
Robert<br>

Well,
<div class="">It does depend on the GUI. There is actually a
control panel of sorts if you use Unity or gnome as your
desktop. Under there will be a number of “applets” for
hardware configuration. This was the gnome project idea of
mimicking a windows interface as well as it’s control
panel. However, it is sometimes not as useful as being
able to troubleshoot and add/remove devices from the CLI.
One should look up lsmod as well as modprobe and Insmod.
If things are working correctly, new devices will always
appear in the /dev directory and may even have some sort
of “magic number” associated with them. That’s an advanced
idea and shouldn’t really be of concern for this
discussion.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Now, if you use the “Lsmod” command (not
capitalized, as my stupid autocorrect is trying to change
it) before you plug in the usb cable, you should see a
list of modules and what they do. After plugging in the
cable that connects to your radio, and doing the same
command, you should see 1 or more new modules loaded.
Those modules will be associated with new devices that
show up under /dev. Now, they may be listed as TTYS0 or
TTYS1, etc. those would be your comm port entries. ttys0
should be associated with comm 1, etc.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Now, if your system is properly configured,
then most of this already happens in background. However,
there may be some cases where you may have to add your
user account to the appropriate group in order to use the
device. There are GUI programs for this as well as some
CLI commands. Now, some of the commands above may require
that you use sudo and log into root. 2 items of caution
here:</div>
<div class="">1. If you are unsure, don’t use sudo</div>
<div class="">2. Sudo is dangerous if you mess up. Only for
advanced users! So, be very careful if you do have to use
it.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">As always, read the associated man pages.</div>
