@JDMcQ,
On my system (Ubuntu 16 Xenial VM), I tweaked the settings in /etc/default/openhab2 so it listed /dev/ttyACM0 instead of /dev/ttyAMA0, and then restarted the openhab2 service.
For my Z-Wave stick, the device was already in the dialout group, and I’d set my Host/Hypervisor (Proxmox) to pass the USB for that port through to my Guest VM.
Mark:
Thank you for the response. I think I have been down this road, but my install seems to vary form others in one way and I’m not sure if it is significant. The apt-get install did not work so I follow another post. The result being everything is installed under /opt/openhab2. As far as I know this has no bearing on functionality but file/folder references never match what 's in posts. Also I didn’t mention that I am using openhab2.
I'm not finding the link that I followed (still looking). I do
remember why I had trouble with the initial install though, I put the
wrong version of Java on the system. The ps command you showed, listed
my stuff and I remembered changing the Java install. See below (it’s
long and I’m not sure what you are looking for…
:~$ ls -l /dev/ttyACM0
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 166, 0 Mar 16 15:43 /dev/ttyACM0
If you don’t see anything pop out at you, I may wait until U 17.04 hits
the streets and do a complete rebuild. What is the proper Java install
for an AMD box that I plan to use ZWave and Arduinos with. I also have a
pi I may test on n the meantime.
Happy St. Patti’s day, and thank you for going through this with me!
Nothing pops, here are a few more details versions, in case one of these is causing it:

Ubuntu VM:
cat /proc/version

and my Host is an Intel NUC (NUC6i5SYH) running Proxmox (4.2-4/2660193c)
