I have the same problem. Tried doing what is suggested in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=812722 but didn't get much further.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Just found an interesting article (see : https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?t=14598) where the author claims to have got ANT+ to work on Ubuntu. Unfortunately the server (http://cgit.get-open.com/cgit.cgi/ga...master.tar.bz2) referenced in step 2 to download gant does not exist.
I have been unable to find an alternative.

KVB,

On my system (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS) I had to create a udev rule so the ANT+ stick would automatically be detected and create the /dev/ttyUSBx node.

Otherwise, I had to type in the modprobe command every time I rebooted.

I created the file (as root) '/etc/udev/rules.d/90-ant.rules' with the following contents:

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1008", \
ATTRS{idVendor}=="0fcf", MODE="0664", GROUP="plugdev", \
RUN += "/sbin/modprobe usbserial"

Having the same problems with Garmin-ant-downloader. Running Ubuntu 13.04. Tried everything suggested but no luck. Still getting error:

 /dev/ttyUSB0: Permission denied
ERROR: Open dev 0 failed in line 1384

Also would be nicer to have the Garmin-ant-downloader modified as an app opened from Applications Menu.
