Good morning all,
My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 15 5000 series, 8GB ram and a 500GB SSD drive.
I'm a brand new newbie, installed MX Linux 23 on my laptop, everything went without a glitch. From what I can see everything works well. Being a ham operator I loaded some software to program my SD800D, the program runs at it should be. Then I have to choose a port where it's plugged in thru USB. When I click to read from the radio it tells me it's not plugged in. I try to select the port but that window is empty, no ports to choose from.
My question is how would I be able to enable or install those com ports. Please remember that I'm a complete newbie. My goal is to get that laptop going first and if I succeed I'm planning to get rid of Windows on my main computer and run MX Linux 23 also.
Thanks in advance.
