I have on my laptop (HP dv-7) a copy of Ubuntu 10.10 with latest xastir from
cvs, When I insert my USB-serial dongle, and add a KISS serial tnc (OT+ @

dongle to release the hang.
When I use a serial terminal, like GtkTerm, it works fine. I see the KISS
"stuff" come across. When I shutdown the serial terminal and start xastir
and the Interface, I still get a hang. The user is a group member of
DIALOUT.
I have a similar setup on my stationary HP TC-1100 (KG5LT-5), The user in
this case is not a group member of DIALOUT. It just works!
Do I have to remove the DIALOUT group membership on my laptop?
Any suggestions where to look for the problem?
Check the ownership and permissions for the USB port you're trying to use. It should be something
like "/dev/USB0" or "/dev/USB1".
ls -l /dev/USB*
See what group the USB ports belong to as it it might be something other than
dialout. The permissions for the group need to be read/write as well so it
should be something like:
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout
Also make absolutely sure that the user you're logging in as is a member of the
"dialout" group, or whatever group is listed for that port.
grep <user> /etc/group
and that you've logged out and back in since adding that user to the group.
