Hi there again! So after many months of being busy, working and studying i'm sitting again with my GP2X and trying to connect it to my PC. So Orkie said, i have to try it out with Minicom. the thing is, i can't start it for some reason. Here is the output:
nikolaj@keller:~$ minicom
minicom: Fehler beim Öffnen der Datei »/dev/modem«: No such file or directory
nikolaj@keller:~$ sudo apt-get install minicom
[sudo] password for nikolaj:

minicom ist schon die neueste Version (2.8-2).

nikolaj@keller:~$ minicom -D /dev/ttyS0
minicom: Fehler beim Öffnen der Datei »/dev/ttyS0«: Permission denied
nikolaj@keller:~$
After trying to reinstall it, minicom seems to be there, but i can't enter it.
I can actually enter the Settings menu by typing minicom -o -s, but i have no idea what to do next. Do you have some advice for me?
 
0. minicom was already installed
1. there is no /dev/modem on your system
2. you obviously can't access /dev/ttyS0 as user - maybe you can try as root or find out who the owner of /dev/ttyS0 is and what the permissions are
3. you have to find the right device file name
 
Oh thank you very much! The problem was actually that i wasn't root on my pc. So now i'm in and can test things out ^^
Here is btw the picture of my GP2X logging out of the serial session
