Hey,
I'm using different versions of Arduino for a year now. Off late, a problem has creeped up on ubuntu with regard to my ARDUINO NG board based on ATMEGA8L-8PU. It no longer uploads to the IC and gives the error stk500_recv programmer not responding.
The queer part is that this problem occurs only in ubuntu 11.04 and above versions and NOT with earlier versions(tested on different computers). Neither does this problem occur on windows.
This problem is not limited just to my PC but to a few of my friends as well. As the programmer and the ATMEGA are working flawlessly on windows, i dont see why it is not working on ubuntu.
The trace from the Arduino IDE is as follows :
