by the way: How to increase the Menufontsize of
the arduino ide application ?

Have you disabled the brltty daemon (see here)?

Otherwise, it might be your DTR line is not being properly driven high to reset the board. You may have to play with the correct timing of pressing the reset button (definitely before upload).

avrdude 5.7 doesn't come with openSUSE 11. did you try the official version 5.5 ?

I've never seen a brltty process run on openSUSE.

Hello RuggedCircuits,
Hello madworm

Thank you for reply!

I did not find any hint to "brltty" in proctable
or in any of my repositories.

The arduino-0016-linux.tgz i downloaded from
arduino.cc came with avrdude v5.4

I updated to the avtual avrdude v5.7 after getting
the described error, because i assumed that this
may solve the problem.

i have installed avrdude, avr-libc, cross-avr-binutils
and cross-avr-gcc43 but NOT cross-avr-gcc

avr-gcc --v

Can i use Arduino Duemilanove/328 with KontrollerLab ?
Maybe this give some more infos on this problem ?
