I’ve just get a brand new BBB circuit with “out of the box” firmware in it, and I faced the strange behavior:
On my Ubuntu host after connecting the mini-USB cable I can get an access to the internal files (so system defines it as external storage), but I can’t establish a working serial port connection.
Here is dmesg output :

So Ubuntu detects BBB as ttyACM0, but if we try to connect to it via PuTTY/minicom nothing happens: terminal session is just being idle.

Another part of this problem is BeagleBone web-interface stays unreachable.

I can’t ping no one of stated IP addresses from Ubuntu laptop.
The funny thing is, I can do all the thing mentioned above from the Windows 10 Host after all necessary drivers being installed. So the circuit itself and the USB cable are definitely not the key to the problem.
Can anybody help me please?
