<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/>
</p>
<p>Kindly,<br/>
Robert<br/>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Simply do "ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*"

for sure which port to use. Otherwise most common cause of no

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>
