Error uploading on brand new LEONARDO board

Using Arduino IDE 1.x
1

Dear all,

I just bought a Leonardo board, and as soon as i connected the USB, the green light ON is live and there is a yellow blinking light on L. I lanched arduino IDE, selected the port /dev/ttyACM0(Arduino Leonardo) and the board 'arduino Leonardo' on Ubuntu 18. On verify i got:
Build options changed, rebuilding all

Sketch uses 4144 bytes (14%) of program storage space. Maximum is 28672 bytes.
Global variables use 149 bytes (5%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2411 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2560 bytes.

But when I loaded the sketch 'Blink' I got:

processing.app.debug.RunnerException

Addendum: when i press the RESET button and launch the upload, the error becomes: `Arduino: 1.8.9 (Linux), TD: 1.46-beta10, Board: "Arduino Leonardo"

Sketch uses 4144 bytes (14%) of program storage space. Maximum is 28672 bytes.

Couldn't find a Board on the selected port. Check that you have the correct port selected. If it is correct, try pressing the board's reset button after initiating the upload.`

The only ports available are (on the IDE): /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttyACM0(Arduino Leonardo). If I use the first port, I get the same error.
