There is one procedure that needs to be done for Ubuntu to become more
device dev friendly*(as root):
# groupadd -r usbaccess
# adduser {yourname} usbaccess
# cat > /etc/udev/rules.d/11-usb.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", MODE="0664", GROUP="usbaccess"
[Press Enter and CTRL+D]
# udevadm control --reload-rules

Ubuntu is rather locked down by default. Much more than Mac OS.
