Arduino IDE under Ubuntu

Sigh, as usual, it takes a bit of work to get something set up if your not using Windoze. Lets see, I have two ports available in the IDE but clicking ‘Get Board Info’ on either one returns an error message of “Native serial port, can’t obtain info”

Quick Google and tried thisĀ link

Hmm,
sudo adduser $USER dialout
did not work...
Nor did a reset.

Got rid of snap version of IDE and installed from website.
Got board info! Success!

Can’t upload new code, I get the:
stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
error instead…
Wait…wrong port selected…wtf?
Select dev/ttyACM0 and it works!

Success!

I’m jotted this down here because I always get trouble setting this up the first time. I’m not sure why adduser didn’t work. I think a combination of that and the vendors version of the IDE is what worked
