Thanks to Chuck, Jeff, Christian and John! I was trying to do a quick test with a live CD in bash but the general message I have gotten is to fix the Ubuntu install. Indeed you were right and I was wrong.
I tried this command (thanks Jeff) sudo tail -f /var/log/messages I found out that I had a conflict with brltty. I don't remember installing a brail terminal! It's funny it only had a conflict with the prologix device and not a usb-serial adapter. Anyhow I am trying to communicate with the device with PySerial now. I am getting error messages back when I read but at least that's something. Thanks again to all. -Patrick Chuck Harris wrote: > You don't have the daemon that automatically loads new USB > devices running.
