Dec 16th 2012, 12:39

I have a PC running openSUSE 12.2 x86_64. This PC has a serial port which is connected to an UPS. All is OK. I have inserted an USB to serial converter for a Windows program (Freeze Framer) running with crossover. When I launch this program, it functions correctly but the connexion between the PC serial port and the UPS is broken.
I have made the following tests:

I have created a symbolic link with my program in crossover:

ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.cxoffice/Freeze \Framer/dosdevices/com3
I have inserted me in the dialout group.

When I launch Freeze Framer, it runs but the connexion between the PC serial port and the UPS is broken.

Where is the conflict?
