<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 class="">As always, read the associated man pages.</div>

Taking my exams on Thursday. Got my TIDRADIO UV-5R
