This sounds like it might be that your user isn't on the list accepted users for serial ports. You might need to add your user login account to that group. Check the following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/> ls -l /dev/ttyS0 crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 64 2006-10-23 16:46 /dev/ttyS0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/> This is the directory command to check permissions on ttyS0, and if you read across, you see that the owner is "root", and the group is "uucp". To enable xastir to work when I'm logged in with my user account "bob", I had to go into my users and groups manager, and insure that the "bob" account was a member of the "uucp" group. I use SuSE Linux v10.0, and with that Linux distribution, that's a feature of the YaST system management tool. I suspect that if my system hadn't auto-archived a bunch of stuff, that I'd find out what Linux distribution you're using, though I probably still don't know where to find an application to do what YaST does for me. So - take a look in /etc/group and find the group entry that matches the group entry in your /dev/ttyS0 directory listing, and add your login user account to it - assuming it's not already there. With any luck, it's that simple! 73, Bob, KD7NM ----- Original Message Follows ----- From: "Robbie, wa9inf" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: xastir@xastir.org Subject: [Xastir] Serial port Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2006 17:49:09 -0500 >Well, here is a follow up to my MFJ serial tnc problem... > >I have validated that the hardware is working by using >minicom on both ttyS0 and ttyS1 at 9600,8,n,1 All the >144.390 packets are decoded.. > >Now that leaves me with an Xastir problem I guess??
