May 28, 2012 by missle3944 |
Hi guys, I recently updated and rebuilt my computer and its running ubuntu 12.04 lts. I loaded all the programs for the serial to USB,nerdkit,avr files. But when I type "make" it says /dev/ttyUSB0: permission denied. It worked fine on my old machine: Pentium 3 xubuntu 11.04. I see the prolific to usb driver when I type lsusb in terminal. Any Recomendatoins? Thanks, Dan |

Hi Dan, That's quite odd. I am having no problems with the device on 12.04. Have you tried doing a "sudo make". Its a bit weird to give make sudo privilages, but I'm curious if it will work. Humberto |

Humberto, I was able to get it to work yesterday! Thankfully. I have no idea why 12.04 is like that. 11.04 seemed to work fine. -Dan |
