hello
on my PBG4 with osx.4.6 (J2SE 5.0, FTDIUSBSerialDriver 2.0.1), i've received error when upload prog to arduino.
RXTX leds bright... i suppose the upload is ok.

Error inside Serial.<init>()

Atmel AVR ATmega8 is found.
Uploading: flash
Firmware Version: 1.18
Firmware Version: 1.18

there is no other prog used the serial port as describe in precedent post
i use the setup command and reboot the machine (more exactly shut down and restart as Tom Igoe explain in the processing bug page)

i've tried a simple prog to send string throug serial.
no compilation error, good tranfer, but no blinking TX's led.

 :'(

i was exciting by the new version, but now :-/ :-?

no reboot... :o

[Reply #2 on:]

well...

serial is a bit "versatil".

- if i boot my computer with the arduino plugged, serial initialize correctly and serial monitor work fine.
if i unplugged the arduino card and plug again, even if i restart IDE, serial monitor doesn't work anymore with this message

- if i boot without the card plugged, i'm enable to have serial monitor, i've got the mesage above.

 > :-X :-/
it was working fine in arduino003.  :'( snif
it look so simple in v003 and so complex with 004.
sorry i'm on G4 not on Intel

Hmm, "You may also need to remove the contents of /var/spool/uucp".  So says Processing, anyway.  

Also, can you post the output of typing at the Terminal: groups
And: ls -la /var/lock
And: ls -la /var/spool/uucp

[Reply #4 on:]

for groups

Code:

mrpow appserveradm uucp appserverusr admin

ls - la /var/lock

Code:

drwxrwxr-x    4 root   uucp   136 May  1 00:34 .
drwxr-xr-x   25 root   wheel  850 May  1 01:25 ..

-r--r--r--    1 mrpow  uucp    11 Apr 30 23:55 LK.002.009.002

/var/spool/uucp

Code:

hope this will help

You may need to delete all the files in /var/spool/lock.  From the Terminal, run: open /var/spool/lock
Then select all the files and delete them - you may need to authenticate.

[Reply #6 on:]

i've deleted all the files in /var/spool/uucp
and it seems to work.

i've no folder /var/spool/lock
in /var/spool/ :

Code:

cups    fax     mqueue  postfix samba   uucp
