The device works correctly if used for a serial console. uisp is indeed a firmware uploader and does not work without the correct permissions on the /dev/bus/usb device.
I do not claim the workaround I described is the correct one. It should probably be more fine grained and probably use the "dialout" group. I have attached the udev.log file as requested (generated with the workaround reverted). ** Attachment added: "udev.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13046215/udev.log -- ftdi_sio device does not work correctly as a normal user https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/198757 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
