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
