While this will work, it is not really the right way to do it. It is also temporary. These devices recreate themselves every boot, or every time you reinsert a device.
The right way is "sudo adduser user dialout" Substitue your user name for "user." On some systems the group may be different. Example: wpmills@suzanne1:~$ ls -l /dev/ttyUSB* crw-rw----+ 1 root dialout 188, 0 Jun 7 18:53 /dev/ttyUSB0 crw-rw----+ 1 root dialout 188, 1 Jun 8 02:49 /dev/ttyUSB1 wpmills@suzanne1:~$ wpmills@suzanne1:~$ sudo adduser wpmills dialout [sudo] password for wpmills: The user `wpmills' is already a member of `dialout'. wpmills@suzanne1:~$ On 6/7/20 7:14 PM, Peter via chirp_users wrote: > Hi all: > > I am not sure who came up with the brilliant tip of chmod 777 > /dev/ttyUSB0 as I have deleted the email suggesting that. > > So THANK YOU for that suggestion.
