Re: No USB Port Error (Tony Fuller) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Fri, 22 May 2020 12:04:21 -0500 From: "Glenn K0LNY" <[email protected]> Subject: [chirp_users] No USB Port Error To: "Discussion of CHIRP" <[email protected]> Message-ID: <0eab01d6305b$0a056050$7001a8c0@NUCPPYH> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Hi, I just got a new used radio, a Kenwood TH-F6. So I plugged in the radio using a non-Kenwood cable and I went into "radio" and download from radio and selected my radio model and USB0 and I get the message: error no 2 cannot open tty/usb0 error cannot locate tty/USB0. or something similar. I have used this cable and that Ubuntu with Chirp in the past for my other radios, and other than different brands of radios, I have always been able to do this. I know a guy who has done this to this model using the Baofeng cable using a different software in Windows, not the Kenwood software, but one that they purchased. I don't recall the name, but I think it starts with an R. At any rate, I'd sooner buy a Kenwood cable than that other software and keep using Chirp. Hopefully I didn't get it mixed up with the Radioddity cable. I thought I had the right cable with the Radioddity when I sent it off. I don't know if they put the name of the associated radio on the cables, since I'm Blind. But any who, would this be an error for the wrong cable? Thanks.

This is a live instance of Ubuntu and I already added Ubuntu as the user in dialout I am sure, because the CSV files for my other radios are there as well. That is what has me puzzled.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Adding your user to dialout group only takes effect after you log out and log back in which is not practical for a live environment IIRC. You can use something like the following for live environments: sudo -g dialout chirpw This gives the dialout group permission to chirpw program while running as the current user. But I don't see any advantage to doing that over plain "sudo chirpw" (what Jim recommended) unless you get X11/Wayland/Mir errors.
