Serial printf not showing output on ubuntu

I am using ubuntu 13.10, terminal and gnu screen. Member of the dialout group with modemmanager removed.

No output appears on screen, yet when I press a key on the pc keyboard the usb com light flashes on the mbed.

Serial pc(USBTX, USBRX);

pc.printf("Hello World!\n");

My arduino can send prints to the serial monitor no problem.

Any help on what further to try would be greatly appreciated.

Apparently my board requires some hardware modification before I can use a Virtual com port.

If I try running

screen /dev/ttyACM1 9600 8N1

I get the following.

Cannot open line '/dev/ttyACM1' for R/W: Device or resource busy

Sorry, could not find a PTY.

I am using a LPC812-MAX.
