Next, I wanted to update the firmware of my Prusa MK2.5. I downloaded the latest firmware, opened up Prusa Slicer and selected the Configuration->Flash Printer Firmware. I selected the correct firmware and hit flash. I got "Permission Denied". I know from enough experience, this is because of the serial port permissions. It is either the owner or the group. When you connect the USB cable to Ubuntu, it adds /dev/ttyAMC0. The user was "root" the group was "dialout". I added my user to dialout.
sudo adduser my_user_name dialout
I then changed the user of /dev/ttyAMC0 to my user name, we will say is my_user_name
sudo chown my_user_name /dev/ttyAMC0
Then everything worked and I could update the firmware on my printer.
Just some quick notes for anyone else.
Many thanks :)
