Likely permission error. Does the output of id include plugdev?

[chuzairps]

Hi, there. Thanks for great community and help. One more issue I'm observing auto detection of ubertooth one. Each time when i connect it does not detect automatically. I run command hcitool inq then its lights flash up. Does it be the issue not going into the DFU mode?

[straithe]

I don't understand your question. Can you please rephrase?
