In your message you said: "he found the device in his case, on USB1."
That's not a complete location, give the complete path. We have to guess what you mean which is unsatisfactory when it comes to computers which are always exactly literal. Since you're taking about a tty device it's probably ls -l /dev/ttyUSB1 but next time you reboot it might go back to ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0 which is the usual assignment but your computer will go to ls -l /dev/ttyUSB1 if it still thinks ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0 is being used (occupied). 73 DR On Wed, Jun 3, 2020, 01:07 Glenn K0LNY <glenner...@cableone.net> wrote: > Hi David, > I originally used lsusb > Whatever I wrote in my message, in the commands I don't capitalize. > When I added ubuntu-mate to dialout with addgroup it told > me that ubuntu-mate was already a user. > But I'll try > ls -l /dev/ttyUSB1 > and see what that tells me. > Glenn > > ----- Original Message ----- > *From:* D.J.J.
