Problem uploading the code into an Arduino Uno [duplicate]

Question

I was trying to upload code for a blinking LED. It is a new Arduino Uno board. Any further help will be appreciated.I got the following error:

Info.: OS- Ubuntu 16.04

Software: Arduino IDE 1.8.5

I could not see any port.

I have tried dialout. But still it is not working.

I also have a confusion, i.e. the Programmer menu shows AVRISP mkll.

If anyone wants any information, please do comment.

Error:

An error occurred while uploading the sketch avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "COM1": No such file or directory`

An Arduino Uno on Ubuntu will typically be at /dev/ttyACM0.

Ubuntu and other Linux operating systems don’t name the serial ports “COM1” or similar.

They use special files like

/dev/tty.[something]

The [something] depends on the USB device driver. The IDE should list available serial ports in the Port selection menu.

@ChandramauliChakraborty are you in dialout group? Or better, have you read any tutorial about Arduino in Linux?

Perhaps you don’t have the right permissions to access the serial ports. Your user must have access to the serial ports. On Ubuntu, this can be accomplished by adding your user to the dialout group. Also, make sure you have the Uno plugged into the computer.
