LinuxMint - Arduino 1.8.12

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

Just downloaded latest version on 32 bit laptop for Linux Mint.

Downloads ok and gives a desktop link and this opens ok.

Cannot connect with the Nano or Uno I connect.

Tried this in terminal: ls -l /dev/ttyACM*
(as per https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Linux)

I get message: $ ls -l /dev/ttyACM*
ls: cannot access /dev/ttyACM*: No such file or directory

I have the IDE and extracted files in a Documents folder ArduinoIDE1.8.12

How do I get the port # to work ?
Thankyou
Charles Harris

Select Tools > Processor > ATmega328P (Old Bootloader) and then try uploading again.
