I am very frustrated as this is at least the third time I have tried to use openSUSE to do digital Amateur Radio and it seems to be failing again. I am not going to run the program as root. If it’s not possible with 11.4 and giving the user the correct permissions to access /dev/ttyUSB0 then it’s not going to happen. I just want to enjoy my radio hobby with as little frustration as possible and do it using Linux if possible. I simply don’t want to have to learn all of that udev technical stuff run my radio. I skimmed the udev URL and if that is the problem then I 'll just revert to using Windows for my Ham radio operation and that computer will not be used for a Linux test box/ham radio machine but will spend it’s time running Windows 7 64. I know that people running Ubuntu don’t seem to have this much trouble getting ham radio applications to run under Linux it seems. If I knew what group I need to be a member of to run it. If I can run it as root I should be able to run it is a user. I get the error above and have no interfacing to the radio over the USB to Serial cable. Again I can run WSPR as root and the program does what it is supposed to as far as communicating with the radio for frequency control. The software is set up to use /dev/ttyUSB0 in it’s configuration. I know it is /dev/ttyUSB0 because YAST> Hardware told me what it was assigned and the Prolific USB to Serial convertor has not been disconnected since before openSUSE 11.4 was installed on this machine. I know the device works since I can run WSPR and fldigi as root and the radio interfacing works via /dev/ttyUSB0. It’s not a modem it’s a USB to Serial cable that uses the prolific chipset and it works. I had already thought of the modem angle and had added myself to the modem group. The system is doing the mounting of /dev/ttyUSB0 itself. Dynamic Kernel Device Management with udevĭenver I am booting with the USB to Serial convertor cable attached.
