lINUX MINT AND TTYACMX PROBLEM

Been trying for a while to solve this with no satisfaction
I am trying using linux mint and an arduino uno
When trying to select a serial port the selection is greyed out
on checking ttyACM0 I find this maps to snd/hwC0D0 and ttyACM0 maps to the USb port (40 that the board is connected to
Any help in getting me connected to the board would be greatfully received
Appolgies if this topic has been covered previously but I cannot find it

Joining the dialout group should fix things.
In a terminal enter: sudo adduser YourUserName dialout
Logout and login after you run adduser.
