I've installed arduino onto ubuntu, but now i need to include the custom board files and libraries. do the same apply as for windows based systems ?. Where is the arduino IDE stored ? searching for it with file search does not work well because i have windows arduino in my dropbox and it picks all that up.
Does anyone know if the AVRISP2 works under ubuntu ? I got so fed up with it on the IDE under windows and the driver problems (failed to install)

I have too (Leonardo), but I can't upload a program. ('can't sync'). Can you?
Serial terminal works all right
I've not tried anything yet, i was hoping for a yay or nay from someone more experienced on wether i was wasting my time. My main reason for considering arduino on ubuntu is the driver problem under windows
I have v1.0.5 IDE working on Ubuntu 12.04LTS without a problem.
I downloaded the 64-bit version of the IDE from the Arduino site, and then popped it into a directory I made called "Programs" in my home directory. Then everything just gets executed from there. You have to manually edit a desktop config file in order to get the icon to stick in the dock, but that's just cosmetic. But the IDE works great in Ubuntu, although I now use Eclipse instead--but that's a reflection on the Arduino IDE and my preference to use something more robust.

but does the AVRISP2 work ok ?
I believe so--I think that's the default option in the programmers section, as I recall. I believe that I have not had any problem whatsoever with having to change programmers in the Arduino IDE in Ubuntu.

Well i plugged in an arduino and the programmer and tried to burn the bootloader as a coms test and got errors, i suspect (Having read around) that I need to give the IDE root access ?
I believe so, in order to load the bootloader. So just uninstall Arduino using the Software Center (I presume that's how you installed it...), and then go download the latest version of the Arduino package from the website. Then extract it to something like /home//Programs, and you'll be all set. Then you will at least know where it is when you need to find the libraries and such...like if you want to try getting Eclipse set up in the future.
I've just spend a couple hours working on getting Jantje's Eclipse Arduino plugin installed and working, but don't have things quite running just yet. But if you need more assistance with your stuff, just PM me and I can give you a skype name, or a chat handle.

resolved with
sudo -u user1 Downloads/arduino-1.5.2/./arduino
(yes, I found also somewhere this new edition of arduino software for Ubuntu that has option to choose 'leonardo' - but not choosed automatically)
can run also
sudo -u chmod a+rw ttya...
all in a shell script 'arduino.sh'
You can put it also in Dash with 'Main menu' (!!!!) program or in Desktop (copy as xxx.deskrop)
Also I notice that copilation+upload from Ubuntu is about 3 times faster than WinXP, in the same computer!
Try to put the USB cable directrly to the computer's USB

I had to give up on ubuntu, will never install that garbage again
