Can you show us the error message? We only can speculate without much information.

If there aren't error message from Electrum, you should start electrum from terminal and share printed information on the terminal when you encountered the problem.

For reference sake, this worked for me on Linux Mint 19 (Xcfe desktop), as somebody already referenced below.

Code:

wget -q -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LedgerHQ/udev-rules/master/add_udev_rules.sh | sudo bash

The udev rules don't exist by default (step 2), even if plugdev is already configured (step 1).

Make sure your udev rules are allowing you to connect it. See https://support.ledgerwallet.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005165269-What-to-do-if-my-Ledger-Nano-S-is-not-recognized-on-Windows-and-or-Linux-

That link works fine for me: https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005165269-What-to-do-if-my-Ledger-Nano-S-is-not-recognized-on-Windows-and-or-Linux-

When you are attempting to use Electrum, make sure that you do not already have Ledger Live (or any other Ledger related apps open). Otherwise you might get conflicts... as only one app can communicate with the device at a time.

Try shutting down Ledger live, disconnect the device, start Electrum, and then reconnect the device and see if that works.

Today this link is no longer loading and it is not a problem with my internet connection, my Ledger Nano S run on my linux mint for Ledger Live but does not run in Electrum
