Do you have `ModemManager` running? If so, you’ll either need to stop it, or install some udev files. You’ll find more details on [this wiki page](https://github.com/keyboardio/Kaleidoscope/wiki/Install-Arduino-support-on-Linux). One of these should help, and allow you to flash the keyboard. If not, let us know, and we’ll figure out the next steps!
