Port Option greyed out. Linux Mint

So whatever i do i cant get the port to be seen by arduino ide. i added myself to dialout group. Also the usb is recognized is lusb as shown below. please help
Bus 001 Device 013: ID 1a86:7523 QinHeng Electronics CH340 serial converter

Try the suggestions on this topic:

sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

dmesg might reveal something.

  1. Disconnect the board.
  2. Run dmesg -w; note that the command will not return to the shell.
  3. Connect the board.
  4. Look at the added lines; post them here is needed.

One culprit might be BRLTTY; if you see that, uninstall it.
