Yes I did follow the instructions, as stated in my OP. There is no
difference between running ls /dev/tty* before and after cable
plugin. No new device is added. I have no ttyACM device. Ran usermod
command, then rebooted. No joy. running ls against all of /dev, I do
find a usb directory (not ttyUSB) -- IDK if it relates to this problem.
ls -la usb
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 60 Jan 12 12:03 .
drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4880 Jan 12 12:15 ..
crw------- 1 root root 180, 0 Jan 12 12:04 hiddev0
"In some cases it may be necessary to enter the device (port) name
manually before chirp can see it." How would I do that?
Thanks,

Did you follow the instructions on this page? Especially steps 1 and 2.
Are you certain that the port is getting the name you expected?.
It may get a name ttyUSB0 or it may get something like ttyACM0. On
some of
my radios it gets USB and on others it gets ACM. I think that is
related
to the specific chipset in the programming cable (or maybe the linux
distro
used could be a factor)
You may be able to run `ls /dev/tty*` before plugging in the cable and
again after plugging it in to identify the name it actually is assigned.
In some cases it may be necessary to enter the device (port) name
manually
before chirp can see it.
It also may be necessary to add your user to the `dialout` group for
access
to the device. If you have not already done so the command `sudo
usermod
-a -G dialout <username>` should add the user to that group. Then a
logout
and back in will be required before the group assignment becomes active.

Hi, I'm having trouble with CHIRP not recognizing any USB ports. I'm
running LinuxMint 21, Mate. I've installed
chirp-20250110-py3-none-any.whl per the instructions at
/wiki/ChirpOnLinux. Other than needing to install python3-yattag, it
went smoothly. Love how fast chirp loads over the flatpak I used to
use
a long time ago!
When I run chirp, and scroll through the ports, there are no USB ports
listed. Tried "Help me" and got "Unable to determine a port for your
cable. Check your drivers and connections." Under Mate System
Reports/System Information, I see the cable listed under USB hub 1:
Device-2: 1-2:40 info: QinHeng CH340 serial converter type: <vendor
specific> driver: usbfs rev: 1.1 speed: 12 Mb/s chip-ID: 1a86:7523.
I plugged my cable into a different USB port, cable appears under hub 2
in the report. So, my OS is recognizing the cable, on either USB
port, but CHIRP does not.
Even tho I'm not getting a permission denied error, I tried "sudo
usermod -a -G $(stat -c %G /dev/ttyUSB0) $USER" anyway, and got "stat:
cannot statx '/dev/ttyUSB0': No such file or directory." Same error
when I tried command for USB1 and USB2.
Any suggestions on how I can resolve?
Thanks much,
