title: Unable to claim interface: Resource busy
body: <p>I am working with USB4Java (the low-level version) and am basically working from this code <a href="http://www.mets-blog.com/java-usb-communication-usb4java/" rel="noreferrer">here</a>.
  I'm working in Ubuntu, and I was running into a problem about permissions but was able to resolve by running eclipse using gksu from the terminal.</p>
  
  <p>Now I am having a new problem:
  When I get to the point in the code here:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public static void claimDevice(DeviceHandle handle, int interfaceNum){
      int r = LibUsb.claimInterface(handle, interfaceNum);
      .
      .
      .
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm getting an exception telling me that the "Resource is Busy":</p>
  
  <pre><code>USB error 6: Unable to claim interface: Resource busy
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've used Ubuntu before (but never for development so I'm really new to this).
  If this isn't where this question should be handled then please tell me where to take it so I can get an answer.</p>
  
  <p>Specifically, the question is, what does this mean and how can I resolve it?
  My goal, in this case, this being a custom USB device, is to create a low-level cross-platform... java based... "driver" (using that term loosely). I'm working with Ubuntu right now because the terminal lsusb command gives a good amount of information on the device in question.</p>
