Package: gpsbabel
Version: 1.4.0-1
Severity: important

When I connect my GPS using a USB cable to download gpx traces the
device is mounted on /dev/ttyUSB0.

#tail -f /var/log/syslog

But when I try using gpsbabel for download traces I get the following
message:

$gpsbabel -w -r -t -i garmin -f /dev/ttyUSB0 -o gpx -F /home/<path>.gpx
[ERROR] XSERIAL: Cannot open serial port '/dev/ttyUSB0': Permission
denied
[ERROR] Cannot open serial port '/dev/ttyUSB0'
GARMIN:Can't init /dev/ttyUSB0

The group of /dev/ttyUSB0 is dialout.

#ls -l /dev/|grep ttyUSB0
crw-rw----  1 root dialout 188,   0 oct  1 22:22 ttyUSB0

My users in a newly installed system, not include in the group dialout.

#groups <user>
<user> : <user> lp cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin netdev

I solved the problem add user to dialout group.

#adduser <user> dialout

After that I download the tracks.
