Raspberry Pi Pico doesn't create tty file

Question

I've been using Raspberry Pi Pico for some time already and I'm using minicom for serial communication. But one day Pico stopped generating tty/ATCM0 when connected to USB port. Before this everything worked perfectly fine.

I can still upload software and it's executing, but there's no serial communication because of it.

I've tried switching USB ports, uploading software that worked fine before and I even bought new Pico, as I suspected a hardware issue, but it still didn't help. My best guess is that there's something wrong with USB drivers, though I don't remember doing anything to them.

I've checked /dev for new tty files when connecting Pico, but nothing appears.

dmesg output after connecting Pico:
