Sam, Please do this:
ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0 Send back the output. Also send back the output of this when you are using your user (regular) account: groups It is important that you are in the group that owns /dev/ttyUSB0 I'm not using Ubuntu but Arch Linux, but here is my output to show you: ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0 crw-rw---- 1 root *uucp* 188, 0 Mar 21 09:40 /dev/ttyUSB0 [djringjr@n1ea ~]$ groups video *uucp* wheel djringjr I've made *uucp *bold so you can see the important part. I believe /dev/ttyUSB0 in Ubuntu is owned by root tty - don't change it! Just make sure you are a member of whatever group that owns /dev/ttyUSB0. Different distros handle devices slightly differently. The point is that if you are executing CHIRP and you are not a member of the group that owns the /dev/ttyUSB0 device, it will not work. To add a user to a group - whatever group owns the ttyUSB0 - sudo adduser user group Where user is your user name and group is the group that owns ttyUSB0 73 DR N1EA
