Im sure theres some documentation around here but i didnt see it on the bst site. Anyways I just ran bst and it cant find the prop in linux when i hit manually search the list box is empty.. So how do I get ftdi devices and bst working in linux, im using fedora at the moment if that matters.

    It should just work. It's probably /dev/ttyUSB0 or something along those lines.

    Find the bst thread. I am sure these problems were discussed and resolved there. Probably best to search backwards if the first post doesn't help.

    Look at what group owns /dev/ttyUSB0 and make sure you're a member of that group. It's probably "dialout" but I'm not sure as I don't use Ubuntu.

    Hmm interesting I totally didn't even think about the permissions on the hardware.

    I'm not an Ubuntu user either, fedora 17 elecrical engineering spin all the way ;)

    Ubuntu support forums are usually very helpful. I gave up on Red Hat and Fedora because M$ has been able to bully them into omitting several significant features that are easily available outside the USA. It all has to do with the fact that you don't have to prove the merit of your legal case to sue someone in the USA. So deep pockets entitles one to bully the GNU community.

    As a long time Redhat/Fedora user I'm wondering what things that MS has bullied Redhat/Fedora into omitting. I know that they don't include many/any codecs but I always thought that was for copywrite, patent reasons. To my knowledge none of the major distrubutions don't include many if any codecs. The same holds with libdvdcss. Fortunately it's all fairly easy to get from other sources.
