This applies to Ubuntu and Ubuntu-based Linux versions and all MXWendler versions

Problem

You start with a USB dongle attached but the log states there is no dongle found.

Background

Actually a dongle is found, but it cannot be read because of a udev permission issue

Solution

Enable the correct permissions for the USB dongle with the following command sequence issued in a shell

$ sudo touch /etc/udev/rules.d/999-ft-mxw.rules

$ sudo echo "SUBSYSTEM==\"usb\",ATTRS{idVendor}==\"096e\",MODE=\"0666\"">/etc/udev/rules.d//etc/udev/rules.d/999-ft-mxw.rules

$ sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart
