Hi all,
I have been developing in linux using arduino for a while now. I recently wanted to play with the arduino-tiny project, so I got the tiny2313 working (wouldn't program via serial) and attempted to talk to it through ArduinoISP. I suddenly had a problem.
Every time I attempt to use my serial port ( /dev/ttyUSB0 ) I get the following error:
[color=red]processing.app.SerialException: Error opening serial port '/dev/ttyUSB0'.

I have tried my cable on another machine and it works well. I have also tried several other FTDI cables on my linux machine and I get the same error. In fact, it also happens when attempting to connect to the normal tty port (/dev/ttyS0).
This is only related to the Arduino IDE, however, because I can use other serial programs such as CuteCom, MoSerial Terminal, and Serial Port Terminal perfectly fine with the same cable. I Attempted to update to Arduino 0022, and that didn't help (in fact the script to open arduinoint hat package doesn't work at all, I had to copy the script form 0021 into the 0022 folder to even get it to run for some reason, but that's another issue all together.)
The only thing I found about this problem was a post on the old italian arduinoBB from last year: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=it&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.arduino.cc%2Fcgi-bin%2Fyabb2%2FYaBB.pl%3Fnum%3D1282845169 since it is archived I can't post there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
