Grazie molto! I would never have found the help reference page on my own. One point that I want to clarify for the benefit of other Linux novices dealing with the Arduino port error message concerns this part of the directions:

Open Terminal and type:

ls -l /dev/ttyACM*

The letters after ls -l /dev/tty must refer to your own port. In my set-up it is USB0, instead of ACM*, as written in the help file text. Attached is a screen print of my desktop after entering the changes, and before logout.
One more thing: your password is concealed in terminal. You may think you entered it, but if not, the changes will not go into effect.
