You need to chmod 660 all the entries under /dev/usb and add yourself to the operator group. This is why adding yourself to the operator group does not normally work: ls -l /dev/usb/* crw------- 1 root operator 0x37 Sep 18 08:43 /dev/usb/0.1.0 crw------- 1 root operator 0x7e Sep 18 08:43 /dev/usb/0.1.1 crw------- 1 root operator 0x8d Sep 18 08:43 /dev/usb/0.2.0 [etc] Only root has read/write permission. The chmod also gives the operator group read/write permission. > On Mon, Sep 17, 2018 at 4:51 PM shreyank amartya <shreyankf...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > > ^^ this is not root :-) > > If I log in as root, usbconfig works.
