SOLVED.screen terminating

Postby janpihlgren » Oct 15th, '18, 08:28

I'm trying to connect to screen:
[jan@Myran ~]$ screen /dev/ttyUSB0
[screen is terminating]

When ls /dev/ttyUSB0 I get:
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 okt 15 08:12 /dev/ttyUSB0

I wish to connect to a Raqspberry Pi via USB
When I do the same thing in my other PC it's OK
As I think there will be som parameter I have to set but I don't knowwhich?

Is your user member of the dialout group ? Otherwise you don't even have read permissions on that device ...
Does it work as root ?

Sorry, but I don't understand what you're saying.

When I use mcc to add a group to suser ter doesn't appear a dialout-user. I had to begin with adding the user dialout before I coul'd add the group dialou to user.
For me it looks like thyat the group dialoit was missing from the beginning.

You cannot add a user to another user. You are supposed to add the dialout group to your user. Edit your user, add the group, then logout and login again, done.
