Linux not recoginizing Arduino Mega2560 Clone

Question

I have an Elegoo Mega2560 R3. On my Windows machine, it recognizes fine and loads exactly like a Mega2560. I have a System76 laptop running Pop_os!. When I attach the board, I cannot connect to the port in Arduino studio (reinstalled today with newest version).

When I check, I don't see the ttyACM1 device (ACM1 specifically because of items listed below).

Answer 1

Running avrdude as root works.
Adding permissions to ttyACM0/ttyACM1 for everybody also works. Execute

 sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyACM0
 sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyACM1

and after that you should be able to compile and upload the code to the arduino The only issue with this is that you have to run that line everytime you connect the Arduino to the USB because ttyACM0/ttyACM1 is recreated. So as pointed in the comment if thats the case than you add dialout group to your user, log out, then log in again, you should have access to the Arduino serial.

 sudo usermod -a -G dialout yourUserName
