Linux comport designators don't use COMXX like windows. Depending on the distro it's going to be something like /dev/ttyUSBx (where x is a number). Some distros don't do it that way depending on how they read the port. If it's read as a serial port, it's still going to be in the /dev folder.
You will likely need to unplug then plug back in the usb cable, and then at the linux console issue:
dmesg
And see what the output is. That will usually tell you what name it was given.
Typically, it looks like this. Keep in mind this is from a Raspberry PI install running Debian/Raspbian Jessie. This is also a connection from a Davis VP2. YMMV.
