3 days ago a friend of mine gave me an arduino nano and demonstrated to me how to use him to light a led with delay. He uploaded the sketch from his pc to the board and everything was fine.
On the past 2 days, ive been trying without success to upload sketches from the arduino IDE to the same nano board:
Here is my info:
Im using Ubuntu 16.
And im using a Arduino Nano (chip CH340S)
On the tools menus i have selected Board: "Arduino Nano"
And the processor im using is ATmega328P
The port ive selected /dev/ttyUSB0
When i selected the verbose option on preferences to get detailed info about the upload, here is what i got:
System wide configuration file is "/opt/arduino-1.8.5/hardware/tools/avr/etc/avrdude.conf"
User configuration file is "/home/pedro/.avrduderc"
User configuration file does not exist or is not a regular file, skipping
Using Port : /dev/ttyUSB0
Using Programmer : arduino

avrdude done. Thank you.
I dont even get that [20][30] text i saw people on other forum threads getting.
Im using Arduino 1.8.5 , ive also tried the same setup on Ubuntu 14 and Windows 10 and i get exactly the same log when trying to upload.
I also noticed when i select Tools to get Board Info i get this:
BN: Unknown board
VID: 1A86
PID: 7523
SN: Upload any sketch to obtain it
Can somebody provide me with a detailed way on how to solve this ?
i read it and i noticed i had version 1.6.20 instead of 1.6.21, so i updated and selected old bootloader, however i am still not able to upload sketches although the log is different specially the Baud Rate. PLEASE HELP ME! I really wanted to do some experiments with arduino! Here is the altered upload log : ("only the baud seems to be different)

kprims:
Double check your selection of, Tools/Processor:"ATmega328P (Old Bootloader)"
Baudrate for (Old Bootloader) should be 57600. We still don't know which bootloader you have.
I selected the ATmega328P old bootloader.
I also pressed the reset buttons for a second. When pressing the "L" light on the board went off. Then when i released it, it flashed one time very fast(so i guess i have old bootloader), and then it started flashing rhytmically again.
Do you have any more ideas? Thanks for the help so far.
Modify step 4. Connect a jumper from the TX pin (Digital Pin 1) to the RX pin (Digital Pin 0) to
Very, very carefully Short pins 2&3 on the Ch340G chip on the rear of the Clone Nano.
