Fireduino does not work on linux (be it ubuntu kernel for linux mint or another, because the arduino ID does not install in the same way on all linux machines).
I have followed all that is indicated in the wiki, but nothing of appearance of possibility of usveure of the usb port …
Please buy your device very and there is always nothing for linux.
If you rely on a linux mint 18 this will work easily for 90% of linux users who can adjust the commands.
