"Cannot set USB configuration" error message

Why am I getting a "cannot set USB configuration" error when I connect to my target interface on Linux?

 

 You typically get this error message when you do not have sufficient USB access permission.

Regular users generally do not by default have USB access permission on Linux. Depending on which Linux distribution you use, there are a number of different ways of granting regular users USB access permission, so please refer to the article below.

    I've just tried this on 14.04 and it works with no problem, as far as I'm aware the rules files are exactly the same on Ubuntu 14.04 as they are on Ubuntu 12.04.

    Make sure you disconnect and reconnect the USB device after you change the rules files as the script is run when the device is connected.

    Regards,
