Initializing...USB error (could not claim interface 0: Device or resource busy).
Could not claim USB device.

Output of "sudo lsof | grep usb" is:

Which process claims the device?
I am running thinkfinger on Ubuntu 7.10. (Gutsy Gibbon)
Thanks for help - Daniel.

Hi Daniel,

sudo tf-tool --verify-user n2

Does it work if you 'su -' first and then run tf-tool?
