This looks like a permission error. Have you installed the necessary 
udev rules?

Download this file:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/libdivecomputer/libdivecomputer/master/contrib/udev/libdivecomputer.rules

and copy it to /etc/udev/rules.d/ directory.

(This assumes you are in the plugdev group.)

Difficult to tell without further info. Did you install the USB driver?

Looks again like a permission error. Make sure you're in the dialout 
group:

sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER

(You'll have to logout and login again before this takes effect.)

No idea.
