You did "find /-name" and Gerry said "find / -name" with a space between / and -. What that command is doing can be read as: Find, starting at the top of the directory tree, all files named xastir. The answer will undoubtedly be "/usr/bin/xastir" which is where the pre-packaged Ubuntu xastir will be installed. Lots of folks are guessing that you've got a problem with permissions on the serial port, but I am thinking that unlikely --- if you did a regular install of Ubuntu, it set your group list to include the permission to write to the serial port. The issue is more likely with how you're configuring xastir. What startup and stop scripts have you selected? What type of interface did you define for it? Is the baud rate set correctly? You might want to try connecting directly to the serial port using a serial terminal program for troubleshooting. I don't think there is any terminal program installed under Ubuntu by default. I tend to install "cu", an ancient thing that most folks here probably shun. I don't know any other preferred Linux terminal program but I'm sure someone here will suggest a better one. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "Argue for your limitations and sure enough, they're yours." -- R.
