Error compiling for board esp32 dev module in ubuntu virtualbox

Hi,

I'm working on installing Arduino in ubuntu for esp32, but I get this error.

I have installed the other platforms esp8266 and stm32 successfully, but not for the esp32, I don't know what is the reason for that.

This is the error message:

Arduino: 1.8.19 (Linux), Board: "ESP32 Dev Module, Disabled, Disabled, Default 4MB with spiffs (1.2MB APP/1.5MB SPIFFS), 240MHz (WiFi/BT), QIO, 80MHz, 4MB (32Mb), 921600, Core 1, Core 1, None, Disabled"

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

I tried to run these commands:

1. sudo apt install python3-pip
2. python -m pip install pyserial or pip install pyserial
3. pip install esptool

Then I updated the boards manager to 2.0.9.

And the problem is solved.
