"No Ports Discovered" on xubuntu with IDE 2.2.1

Development Tools IDE 2.x
1

I have just returned to doing some Arduino programming. I have installed the 2.2.1 IDE on my xubuntu 22.04 system and I'm getting 'NO PORTS DISCOVERED' whatever I try.

I have connected both an ESP32 based system and a Raspberry Pi with the same result for both.

When I plug the ESP32 device in I see:-

My system thinks it's a braille device!

How can I fix this?

I have just tried my very old Arduino Uno on the same USB port in my computer, that works fine. So my issue is with getting the ESP32 device recognised (also with the Raspberry Pi Pico).

Any advice would be very welcome.

Here is a link on how to disable/uninstall BRLTTY, [SOLVED] Tools > Serial Port greyed out in ubuntu 22.04 LTS - #16 by btaiii.

The link should work and contains instructions on how to do the uninstall/disable process, any problems and we should be able to help you.
Thanks.
