Your python install is missing some tools needed for M5Burner to run.
Please check out this link https://github.com/espressif/esptool/issues/350

There are some certain processes you need to make any esp32 device work on linux, such as adding the user to the dialout group, usb permissions etc, this video expains about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZdTl0400uM

Hi Guys, had the same issue. Running PopOS (Ubuntu/Debian) Did all that was said here and the video. No Joy. Tried V1.4.5 instead of V1.4.5.1 and my M5Stack Gray flashed. Could it be an issue with 1.4.5.1?

I have found the solution!
do sudo su first
the pip install pyserial
or
pip3 install pyserial

:)

Opps, yes, Python need to be installed as super user (su) in order to work properly.
