[Bug 991652] Re: Must run gpsbabel (gebabbel) as root to access Garmin usb:
See question https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/293560 I have only just discovered this bug report after going around this loop again 4 years later in 2016 with a Garmin GPS 96. The Gpsbabel support team were not happy Linux distribution were still going out with this problem in their hotplug. They claim its been a source of constant support demands on them to provide patches and work arounds for the last 10 years. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991652 Title: Must run gpsbabel (gebabbel) as root to access Garmin usb: To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gpsbabel/+bug/991652/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I had the similar problem with OziExplorer under Wine - could not open GPS port on Lubuntu 12.04. I noticed (after reading this) that /dev/ttyUSB0 belongs to 'dialout' group. Then I simply added my account to this group, and this solved my problem. Thanks for pointing this out! The udev rule is probably a better solution, but this one works as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991652 Title: Must run gpsbabel (gebabbel) as root to access Garmin usb: To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gpsbabel/+bug/991652/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

There was some relevant information from Herbert Kaminski on the
Qlandkarte-users mailing list on May 1. By placing the following text
in /etc/udev/rules.d/51-garmin.rules, I can now download waypoints and
tracks from Qlandkartegt:
SUBSYSTEM==usb, ATTR{idVendor}==091e, ATTR{idProduct}==0003,
MODE=0660, GROUP=plugdev
See Herbert's post at
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=20120501195315.6be61fc8%40maxforum_name
=qlandkartegt-users
I found some differences on my system. I don't have a
/var/log/daemon.log file. Running sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
did not work for me, a restart was required.
I tried to replicate the steps above but gebabbel is not present on my
computer although gpsbabel is. The main thing for me is that I can use
Qlandkartegt normally again under Ubuntu 12.04 (cf. duplicate bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991327).
