Since you wanted me to write to the list I did so. Erik Tim Fischer wrote:
Hi Erik, don't misunderstand me.... It is ok to contact me directly. But I thought this thread could be of general interest..... It is highly in my interest to have working packages in the repository!!! Did you solve the kptc issue? I'm sorry I cannot try it out, because I have no Pactor controller. But if you found the solution, why not post it to the mailing list? So others with the same problem could also try it out....

Hi Erik, it is not correct what you did!!!! You have to add the user account under which you are running kptc to the group uucp! No idea why you created a group "kptc". It's not necessary! For example, if the local user you are trying it is "erik", you have to add "erik" to the group "uucp". This will be done by the yast2 USERS Management and NOT by the GROUP MANAGEMENT!!!!! There is no need for group passwords or things like that!
See the attached screenshot....
It is definitely a security issue that you cannot open the modem device! If nothing helps, please START KPTC in a konsole and send me the output of the console!!!!
Hope that helps....
Good luck

P.S.: Please, for future requests, use the openSUSE Ham Mailing list.

Hi Erik, the only idea I have: Is the user you are trying KPTC with in group "uucp"? Otherwise you will have no access to the serial port! Please check that. If that does not help, do the following: Open a terminal in KDE and start kptc manually. Send me the console output of the program (if there is any). But in my opinion there must be some problem with the access rights!!!!! Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Hi Tim..
Many thanks for the work you have done for us. I have not seen such a big hamradio package for one of the other linux distros.
I have a query.
I cannot get Kptc to work as user.
Do you have any information about that ?
