Ok, you don't have to do the command line stuff.

Just run KStars and run the Telescope setup wizard (first item in the device 
menu). 

Also, make sure you have proper permission for all your ttyS* ports. When I 
check my ttyS*, I get the following:

crw-rw----  1 root uucp   4, 64 2004-04-06 08:27 /dev/ttyS0
crw-rw----  1 root uucp   4, 65 2004-04-06 08:27 /dev/ttyS1
crw-rw----  1 root uucp   4, 66 2004-04-06 08:27 /dev/ttyS2
crw-rw----  1 root uucp   4, 67 2004-04-06 08:27 /dev/ttyS3
crw-rw----  1 root uucp   4, 68 2004-04-06 08:27 /dev/ttyS4

Hope this helps,
