Problem when downloading logs (Solved)

[Danilo Cesar]

You get the "permission error" message on the console.

Right now subsurface doesn't show error messages. I'm working on the
download dialog  and it should be fixed soon.

The fact that you don't have permissions on /dev/ttyUSB0 is another problem.
