Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think of the commands like this.
It does not prepare one end for reading and the other for writing. It sets the baud rate on the serial port so that they can send letters to each other instead of gibberish.
It has to open the device file to do so, though! And depending on how it's configured, it may be waiting for some signal line or other to be set 'ready' on the far end.
Serial ports have the ability to tell each other when they're ready. Hardware flow-control means "if this bit on the serial port isn't active, wait before sending more data". It may be waiting for that bit to be set before letting you open the port. It's possible to turn off this flow control, probably, but to do so you have to open the port! Grrr. I take it your UNIX system has nothing for 'man stty'.
So when I say 'writing' I mean that literally. After you do 'stty -F /dev/ttyS0 9600' on Ubuntu, do 'echo asdf > /dev/ttyUSB0' to set that bit, so that it knows there's something on the other end. Ubuntu may wait too, until the other end is open, to send the data.
And, of course, we have no idea if you're even opening the right device
