# Allowing USB Device Flash ## Context The `archipelago` user on **archy-x250-r2** is missing the `dialout` group that exists on **archy-x250-beta**. This group is needed to allow USB device flashing. ## Difference | Host | archipelago groups | |------|------| | archy-x250-beta | archipelago, dialout, sudo | | archy-x250-r2 | archipelago, sudo | ## Change Required ``` sudo usermod -aG dialout archipelago ``` ## Verification After applying, verify with: ``` id archipelago ``` Expected output: `uid=1000(archipelago) gid=1000(archipelago) groups=1000(archipelago),20(dialout),27(sudo)` Note: The user must log out and back in (or restart the session) for the group change to take effect.
