Serial port greyed out, using lenovo yoga & running fedora 23

Hi,

I've been googling this question and trying things for several days with no luck.

Basically I'm not able to upload any code to my Arduino (I use an Uno and a Mega) because the Port is greyed out. I'm using a Lenovo yoga 900 and am running fedora 23. I think an issue is that I don't have serial ports "ttyACM0", mine are called "tty##" and "ttyS##".

Basically, nothing I've found anywhere has helped me (my baud rate is correct, running as sudo doesn't help, etc) so I'm just looking for new insight.

thank you!

also, when i type ls /dev/ttyUSB* /dev/ttyACM* to the command line, it returns "No such file or directory" for both. is this part of the problem and if so what's the solution?

When I execute lsusb in a Terminal window, I see an entry for the Arduino SA Uno R3

I get the same -- "Bus 001 Device 005: ID 2341:0043 Arduino SA Uno R3 (CDC ACM)"

I am using IDE 1.6.7 in Linux Mint 17.3
No problems.

I'm using 1.6.4, Fedora 23. If that helps..
