im using Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
when i try to upload from arduino i get
avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "/dev/ttyUSB0": Input/output error
when i try to open serial monitor
Error opening serial port '/dev/ttyUSB0'. (Port not found)
if i use another type of usb to serial (pl2303) serial monitor is working fine
the hardware is working fine i tested on a windows machine and no problem.
$ lsmod | grep usbserial
usbserial 53248 2 pl2303,ch341
dmesg gives:

I tried a lot of things like adding user to dialout and file permissions
what can be done?
edit:
ls -al /dev/ | grep ttyUSB*
crw-rw---- 1 ss dialout 188, 0 dec 19 16:58 ttyUSB0
same for both devices
edit:
after
sudo usermod -a -G dialout username && sudo chmod a+rw /dev/ttyUSB0 && sudo chown root:dialout -R /dev/
ls -al /dev/ttyUSB*
crw-rw-rw- 1 root dialout 188, 0 dec 19 20:40 /dev/ttyUSB0
arduino serial monitor same error and dmesg same as above
update:
installed arduino on another machine (same laptop with windows7 different hdd) only run the add user to dialout group and is working fine uploaded a test sketch from arduino. Same version "Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS"
The laptop is an older model only usb2.0 the pc is "newer" (5-6 years old) and using a usb3.0 port. Switch to a 2.0 port and now is better but other problem:
serial monitor is picking up random characters at random intervals:
MCbK19:kEPUqPJv0Zyq71dlX19QDFDFR
2K19:m4GjpRJ7cNnR9AxB
X19K19:M4yD0kmEvONihR79X19
DFUDK19:OVyzqIbEKK4VAUCcX19DF
?????
i can upload a sketch if i manage to send between the random chars.
Problem resolved by using a USB2.0 port.
