tty* Permissions

Posted: 3/11/2013 11:53:52 PM EDT

To the guys who know way more about Linux than I do…

Is there away to change the permissions for a serial device to automatically reconfigure when a device is reconnected?

For example, to run Icom CS-1F00S .exe under WINE is no problem. Created a symbolic link to the WINE com port for /dev/ttyUSB0. Changed the permissions so it could be used (chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0) and I can read/clone my radios. However, when I remove the programming cable from the computer and plug it back in, I have to go in and change permissions again. Is there way to keep me from constantly having to change the permissions? Running Mint 13

Look at writing udev rules. Should be what you are after.

I have had a hard time getting udev rules to work under Mint 13.

A fix could be something like (udev would be better though)


#!/bin/bash



#set permisions

sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSBx



#create link

ln -s /dev/ttyUSBx ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1



#start the program via wine

wine "link to .exe"

make the above executable and move the script to /usr/bin

udev is the answer. What distribution are you using?

Mint 13 (should be identical to Ubuntu 12.04 when it comes to the file systems).
