Check group setting, if it's dialout you need to change it to tty, I include this in my owserver startup script (I am not using linkusb, but the HL-340 usb/serial adapter);
chgrp tty /dev/ttyUSB0 ( defaults to dialout) chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0 ( set this to your preferance) From last weeks reading it should be supported in newer kernels, Paul Alfille wrote: > Has anyone had success with the LinkUSB under linux? > > I just purchased one, and see this entry in dmesg: > > usb 1-2.3: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5 > usb 1-2.3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice > ftdi_sio 1-2.3:1.0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter detected > drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c: Detected FT232RL > usb 1-2.3: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0 > usb 1-2.3: New USB device found, idVendor=0403, idProduct=6001 > usb 1-2.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 > usb 1-2.3: Product: FT232R USB UART > usb 1-2.3: Manufacturer: FTDI > usb 1-2.3: SerialNumber: A900a3Z7 > > None the less, I can't talk even with a simple serial communication program. > > For control, I can talk to a standard LINK on /dev/ttyS0. > > uname -a: > Linux amd64 2.6.25.20-0.4-default #1 SMP 2009-06-01 09:57:12 +0200 > i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux > > Paul Alfille > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > _______________________________________________ > Owfs-developers mailing list > Owfs-developers@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/owfs-developers > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
