Hello, I recently switched over from Ubuntu 17.04 to Xubuntu 18.04 on a laptop - I have an odd problem with USB serial that I'm not sure existed before. It seems it is very easy to crash the Serial Monitor when printing too frequently. The problem is that this threshold is extremely poor - I can't even print to serial 10 times a second.
As an example, I have a Teensy with the Prop Shield attached, and I can't open the Serial Monitor with the Orientation example loaded. I get about 6 readings, then the Serial Monitor and Arduino are frozen.
I also often get a failure error when uploading a sketch, though Teensy Loader opens and the upload does actually complete without any problem.
I have USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports on my laptop but the problem occurs on any of them.
I don't really know what steps to take to further diagnose or resolve this - I will see if the same problem occurs in a terminal emulator but my guess is it will. Any advice would be very appreciated as always!
