Description
Running Chirp with linux Mint 17. Boefang GT-3TP. CHIRP daily-20170420. Runs great on my desktop using port /dev/ttyUSB0.
But on my Linux Laptop I get the following error with latest daily build 20170618.

Need to program my mobile radio in my car. Would rather not unmount..Can you help?

Did you add you Linux user to the "dialout" group? See "serial port permissions" on the "Running CHIRP Under Linux":http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Running_Under_Linux wiki page.

Yes, I did add my user name to the dialout group.
BTW: The syntax provided at that location is wrong I think.
** Someone at Chirp may want to check this part of docs. ** Actually I guess I should present as a bug report.
It shows "sudo usermod -aG dialout username" which reacts with a command options list, which I think means there is an error in the syntax.
I used "sudo usermod -a -G dialout username" which seems to be accepted.
Didn't change the failure symptom though.

Found my problem... I was making a mistake with case in my user name. When corrected, adding name to dialout group solved problem...

Hi to all.
I modded the instructions to use a global variable for the username and a syntax that must be understood by almost any GNU/Linux distro out there.

What about if the dialout group wasn't created during setup (I suspect ?)
[marek@marex-x1:~]$ sudo useradd -G dialout "$USERNAME"
useradd: group 'dialout' does not exist
I added the group and reran the command to modify my group membership but still getting:
"[Errno 13] could not open port /dev/ttyUSB0: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/dev/ttyUSB0'"

That's weird.
Can you produce the result of this:
cat /etc/group
Of curse in a console, this is to check if you installation has the dialout group.
Hi have installed a copy of the last linux min I have (linuxmint-17.3-mate-64bit.iso) and the dialout group is there...
What version did you installed/has?
This in a console will help us:
uname -a

Hi,
After a few mails back and forward it was a minor miss-configuration problem not related to Chirp.
Status back to resolved.

yeah sorry for reopening this .
On my Arch I fixed it by adding a group and adding user to it . Later also running sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB0.
Keep up the good work and thank you!!
