Well, I did it for testing purposes. Originally it was changed to 770 then 775  
but neither of those worked so I tried 777 (which didn't work either). In the 
end I changed it back to what it started as (755).

Wait, if I chown -> my user (1) maybe that will change something.
Bummer, that didn't help any. 
And if I chmod: no help.
Am I modifying the correct file?..... I just widened the error window to 
reveal the title of it is:

	Could not claim the USB device.

So then it is:
 
	chgrp ttyUSB1 gtkam (2)

That isn't it.

Stuck again. (would someone kindly tell me which groups ttyUSB1&2 are in? I'm 
trying to change it back to it's original state.
