I have only just discovered this bug report after going around this loop again 4 years later in 2016 with a Garmin GPS 96. The Gpsbabel support team were not happy Linux distribution were still going out with this problem in their hotplug. They claim its been a source of constant support demands on them to provide patches and work arounds for the last 10 years. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991652 Title: Must run gpsbabel (gebabbel) as root to access Garmin usb: To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gpsbabel/+bug/991652/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
