I just dual booted my pc with ubuntu-mate 16.04, I wanted to do some arduino programming, so I installed the arduino ide throught the ubuntu software center, I went to the tools tab to select the right board. but the board was not detected on the serial port. The arduino worked perfectly on windows 10 and I have tried different nano's. I have also tried dmesg -w and when I connect my nano I get the messages:
[57324.697993] usb 2-1.5: new full-speed USB device number 15 using ehci-pci
[57324.807453] usb 2-1.5: New USB device found, idVendor=1a86, idProduct=7523

[57324.810238] usb 2-1.5: ch341-uart converter now attached to ttyUSB0
Does anybody know what I could do to fix the problem
