Like Berend, I have hit this problem setting up my cp210x based-LCD display with the SureElec driver in lcdproc. Exact same problem that is described for this bug: a call to open in the LCD driver that never returns. The workaround mentioned doesn't work for me.
I have found as an odd workaround though that if I run "screen /dev/ttyUSB0" and then kill screen (this only appears to work if I kill it, not if I close it nicely) I can then use /dev/ttyUSB0 properly. -- Opening /dev/ttyUSB0 hangs, pl2303.ko module https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/661321 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
