Port not found - Arduino IDE on Linux Mint

Question

Recently I started using Arduino and went through a migration process(windows to linux Mint), I came across a frequent error where the Arduino was not recognized, its port was inaccessible, preventing my upload.

Below follows picture with the error I described, I would like help to interpret this output and solve the problem.

Answer 1

Hello! After researching a little further, I found a solution that falls well for situations where several errors occurred during the installation and the IDE was not installed completely, or, as with me, the IDE malfunctions.

Installation/Reinstallation

1 - Visit the Arduino IDE website and download the IDE package referring the architecture of your system, the download links are in a frame like this below:

2 - Identify the path where the file was saved and navigate there. PS: The file will have a name similar to this: arduino-1.8.12-linux64.tar.xz

3 - Extract the file using the context menu (Right-click the file and click Extract) or open the terminal (usually Ctrl+T or Ctrl+Alt+T) and navigate to the directory. You can also open the terminal already in the file directory by clicking inside it (directory) with the right mouse button and choose the option 'Open terminal'. Then type the command:

tar -xvf arduino-1.8.12-linux64.tar.xz

4 - With the terminal opened in the same directory, delete the compressed file with the command:

sudo rm -r arduino-1.8.12-linux64.tar.xz

5 - Move the extracted file to the Directory /opt with the command:

sudo mv arduino-1.8.12 /opt

6 - Change (the terminal) to the directory of the Adian inside the directory /optwith the command:

cd /opt/arduino-1.8.12

7 - Use the following command to open and edit the name script install.sh:

sudo nano install.sh

8 - Look inside the script for the line:

RESOURCE_NAME=cc.arduino.arduinoide

and remove the cc., will look like this:

RESOURCE_NAME=arduino-arduinoide

To save use shortcut Ctrl + X and select the Y(yes) key to save the changes.

9 - Now make the script executable with the command:

sudo chmod +x install.sh

and perform:

./install.sh

Now the bugs are fixed and the IDE will work as expected.
