Freetronics boards on ubuntu and forks

[JamieP]

Is anyone else having trouble or hopefully resolved problems associated with
freetronics boards initiating on ubuntu or its forks eg kubuntu, mint etc.
It is confusing especially given the output of dmesg | tail which would seem
to suggest that initiation was complete.
Any help or response would be deeply appreciated
