Hi. Thanks for the reply. The extension is installed and activated correctly. The issue is that the serial mointor tab is "blank" ( in my case black since I use the dark theme). It will works after installing udev. Please note that this package seems to be used for most serial extensions. However on other extensions some error messages where shown, which led me to indetifying the issue.
