When I run: lsof -n |grep /dev/ttyS |
| 28 |
nothing is showing up so I'm sure no other application is using it. I run hylafax but I disabled it and commented out in inittab: |
| 29 |
#c7:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS0 |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
I set ttyS0 to "666" |
| 32 |
ll /dev/ttyS* |
| 33 |
crw-rw-rw- 1 uucp tty 4, 64 Sep 18 09:21 /dev/ttyS0 |
| 34 |
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 65 Sep 2 06:09 /dev/ttyS1 |
| 35 |
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 66 Sep 2 06:09 /dev/ttyS2 |
| 36 |
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 67 Sep 2 06:09 /dev/ttyS3 |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
I'm in group "tty", so I can not figure it out why virtualbox is complaining. |
