openPort(); Exception type - Permission denied - BUT already in dialout group

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 and IDE Arduino 1,8,5.

I Bought an Arduino Due Board; Added myself to dialout and tty group, then connected an Adruino Due board, with the Programming port.

BUT trying to load the blink example, I got the ERROR below.

Consider that, as shown below, the board can be found by sudo lsusb command, by the IDE still can not connect to the board (As normal user).

Any Ideas how to connect to the Arduino Due Board ??

Removed IDE version 1.8.5 & downloaded the Installed version 1.8.7 from

At first run the IDE 1.8.7 recognized the Arduino Due connected board, and asked me to install the Due board drivers to program it (!!)

Then Example file flashed easily !!

Was there a documented problem with version 1.8.5 and Ubuntu usb ports ?

After adding yourself to the dialout group, did you logout and login again?

The system only once checks which groups you belong to and that is at login.
