Hi there--

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 with K3 Utility v1.12.3.28 with no problems at
all!  I don't know the difference between Ubuntu and Lbuntu, but perhaps
David Fleming does (he coded the K3 Utility for Linux).

Unplug and then replug the K3 usb interface, and then run dmesg in terminal.

Please tell us what it says regarding the device assigned to ftdi?

I did have a search for this, but I found no other replies, so I'm wondering

if anyone else is having the same problem.

 

I recently installed LBuntu 12.04 on my netbook which I use for updating the

K3, previously it had 10.04 LTS and the K3 utility worked fine, but now with

Lbuntu it doesn't seemed to work. The utility opens but it wouldn't pick up

the USB port connection.

 

I spent a couple of hours last night trying all different things, it seems

like Lbuntu no longer seems to recognise ttyUSB1, I even tried installing

PuTTY to see if I could change the settings using that, but no.

 

The only way I could get around the problem was to install Ubuntu 9.10 on a

separate small partition of its own and presto, without touching anything it

worked, just a bit of a nuisance having two operating systems when one

should do.

When you enter "groups" at the shell prompt, what is returned?   It's
likely that you need to add your username to the dialout group.  You
will need to log out (at a minimum) and log back in after making the
change.

Ha ha!  Glad you have it sorted now.  I learned about permissions long
ago when I first started playing with Slackware in the mid '90s.  What
fun that was coming from a DOS background!

I had posted this previous before Nates post;

"Paul, Sound like a permissions problem, sudo chmod 777 the device and
try again.
Or, join a group with permissions, eg: dialout

run (example , use your ttyUSBx id)

[root@fedora16desk ~]# ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Jun  4 19:49 /dev/ttyUSB0
[root@fedora16desk ~]#

Above will show the group owner i.e dialout.

Adrian ... vk4tux"

I received that post which was sent to [e-mail], however I dont see here it it in the nabble list, as I was trying to work out why you did not see it.

oh well.
