Unable to reach my arduino files in my USB drive (on Ubuntu)

SkyGC commented 3 years ago

hi. I have an issue with the app. When i want to open a project on my usb drive, Linux doesn't let me use the Arduino IDE instead of the notepad to open the file that I am looking for (see the first screenshot we can see that the Arduino IDE program doesn't appear (even if i scroll down the list)) Capture d’écran de 2021-02-13 10-21-41 (that's all the list that i have)

and when I am using the Arduino IDE, I can't access to my usb drive to save the .ino file into it (see the second screenshot). Capture d’écran de 2021-02-13 10-26-44 (as you can see, my usb drive doesn't appear)

Does someone have the same problem than me ? Does someone knows how to fix it ?

(sorry if you can't understand my message. I'm french and i need a few english improvements )

This is indeed an issue, but you can easily work around it. The USB drive should be in "Ordinateur" > "media" > "your username" > "Name of USB drive".

Thanks. This worked fine. Now i can code without problems ^^!

Reopening this since it is indeed a bug, even though we have a workaround

Is it okay to run "sudo usermod -a -G dialout kms" this command in my home directory??

@Monmoy042

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. You can run this command wherever you like. It will add the user kms to the group dailout. This should give the user kms access to Arduino boards connected over USB tty.

@galgalesh yes it works perfectly in my system. I forgot to mention you that it worked in my system.
