What do you get with this command when the port is attached?

$ ls /dev/ttyUSB*
$ ls /dev/ttyS0

What is your propeller board?

Prop professional board, and both commands give me a cannot access, "No
such file or directory" error. I'm starting to think it might be my brand
of linux, since I'm using a Chromebook with Ubuntu running as a chroot via
Crouton, and that's probably throwing my ports for a loop.

That's a combination we have never tried. Gentoo is another Linux that has a 
similar problem.

The package will never work as expected if your OS doesn't support serial ports.
Try installing the FTDI VCP drivers on your machine.
