seems a permission problem.. maybe ubuntu is more "user friendly" with USB/serial permission. I also don't need to use sudo power to mount devices, maybe it's a driver restriction, i don't know.

Part of the problem (and part of its appeal on the other side of the coin) is that there are hundreds of distros of Linux.  Many linux gurus scoff at Ubuntu because its popular (just as many microcontroller experts scoff at Arduino because its popular).  Its popular because it's pretty easy to live with (I've played with quite a few of the major distros and Ubuntu is probably the easiest).  Popular means its well supported, which tends to help its popularity.   You'll get a lot more joy on forums if you are using something (no insult intended here) thats a little less obscure.

I've changed the user groups, but still not working.
In console is showing the code:

Code:

check_group_uucp(): error testing lock file creation Error details:Permission deniedcheck_lock_status: No permission to create lock file.
please see: How can I use Lock Files with rxtx? in INSTALL

I just opened terminal, logged in as root (su) and then just run ./arduino ... it's working great

Hello,

better late than never!

"Others" need write access to /var/lock

via (example)

chmod o+rwx /var/lock

The user starting the IDE has to a member of the following groups:

dialout
uucp

(OpenSuSE 11.3)

Best regards
