CH340C driver help

[CH34H8tr]

Ive been wanting to use an ESP8266 but its not showing up at all on Arduino IDE or PlatformIO.

I am running POP!_OS 22.04 LTS
with (i think) Kernel version 6.8.0

Solutions i've tried:

• Removing brltty
• reinstalling from manufacturer's site (CH340SER_LINUX)

what i'm seeing:

root@azazel-x1e:/home/azazel# dmesg | grep ch34
[ 2108.444391] usbcore: registered new interface driver ch34x
[ 2108.444406] usbserial: USB Serial support registered for ch34x

After installing the driver, my device is not attached at all to any port and I'm not sure why.
running lsusb also confirms there is no device at all. I've reinstalled a bunch of times with many different versions and no luck. Any Ideas ? im willing to provide any necessary info you all need.

Might need permission try

sudo usermod -a -G dialout username

where username is your real user name then reboot

Okay something changed, I've tried to change my group before and it hadn't worked, so now I'm getting this:

which is similar to what I would've gotten if I hadn't already removed brltty but I'm not sure whats causing the issue now. Thank you for your help.

Might need to look at this thread - https://forum.manjaro.org/t/cant-co...or-ch341-uart-disconnected-from-ttyusb0/87208

maybe something there will help

Okay after another restart, it works now. Thank you for the help
