Hi and Happy new Year !

Subsurface (on Linux, Ubuntu 20.04) won't see my Suunto D5 ! The kernel detects the device when I plug the cable (see below), but Subsurface lists /dev/tty devices. As far as I understand, there is no such device for the D5.

I even tried to build subsurface, but for the same result.

Any help would be greatly appreciated !

The D5 appears to be a USB HID device like the other newer Suunto computers.

For those you don't need to enter a device at all - leave the field blank and try downloading.

Subsurface 5.0.5 (please use the official build, just in case) should simply detect the dive computer.

Thanks for your help ! Indeed I was trying to "Change settings, ..." and because of the errors,

I did not try hard enough to "Import from ...". This menu fails for a non root user, obviously because

of permission issues, but this is OK for root !

Now I have to guess how to fix the permission problem.

Tanks again !

You can try adding your non-root user to the dialout group.

Download these udev rules:

https://github.com/libdivecomputer/libdivecomputer/blob/master/contrib/udev/libdivecomputer.rules

And copy the file into the directory:

/etc/udev/rules.d/

Next, make sure your user is in the plugdev group, and then the permissions
should be correct.
