Can't select Serial port on Kali Linux Debian

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

Hi guys,

I am on Kali Linux (

4.19.0-kali5-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.37-2kali1 (2019-05-15) x86_64 GNU/Linux
)

and I want to be able to connect my Arduino Uno but I can't select the port in "Tools>Serial Port".

I downloaded arduino with apt :

apt-get install arduino arduino-core arduino-mk

I saw all those topics on forums :

I tried to run arduino as root (even if I am root on Kali), add my account to the dialout group, change the serial port in ~/.arduino/preferences.txt ...

Do someone have another solution?

Never use Arduino from a package manager. Those are often obsolete builds, and frequently modified by people who don't really know arduino, in ways that make them not work.

Download and install it from the Arduino.cc website.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer, I just removed all the packages and I installed Arduino 1.8.9 for linux 64 bit from Arduino Software.
I ran the scripts arduino-linux-setup.sh and install.sh and it's working fine.

Now when I run the Arduino application, and I still can't select my port.

Thanks

Hi again,

Sorry for asking, it was a problem with my arduino Uno who can't be recognized by my computer (it works with another one).

Have a great day
