It occurs to me that this could be an error message that's falsely reporting inability to find ttyS0, when in fact, it's reporting that the user that's trying to run gtkterm isn't a member of the group that owns ttyS0. So that user should be added to the group, and will need to log out and back in again.
Hope that helps, 73, Bob, KD7NM -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gerry Creager Sent: Monday, August 11, 2008 4:56 PM To: Xastir - APRS client software discussion Subject: Re: [Xastir] Fluxbuntu-D700-Xastir-GTKTerm Dave, I just talked to Jim on the phone for a bit. He's successfully got gtkterm installed, and a valid config file but it now claims it can't find /dev/ttyS0 to open it. It does exist but I'm now at a loss to determine how to see what it's connected to... I just don't know ubuntu and debian. gerry Dave H wrote: > Jim > I just tried it on my Ubuntu radio pc and here are the results..
