Ubuntu Serial Console

Building a wireless access point for Health & Wellbeing, needed to update my alix, which required console access. My work Surface Pro running Ubuntu 15.10 wily I connected my usb serial cable which showed up as:

Mar 22 09:17:00 surface-pro-3 kernel: [ 2297.789856] usb 1-1: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0

This confused me as I was expecting ttyS0, installed screen to talk on serial and connected with sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0 38400

[screen terminated] These messages occur when you don't have permission to access ttyUSB0.

Uploading the app from CloudPebble was as simple as getting the pbw file from the browser on my phone then opening the file, which loaded it to my watch :~)
