Hi all,
For whatever reason, my Arduino Uno R3 cannot install properly. I tried everything:
Followed instructions in the tutorial/how to exactly on windows 10, device installs as "communications port (COM 3) and every time I get the error:
Arduino: 1.6.7 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"
Sketch uses 450 bytes (1%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32,256 bytes.
Global variables use 9 bytes (0%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2,039 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2,048 bytes.

avrdude done. Thank you.
Problem uploading to board. See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.
This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
enabled in File > Preferences.
Tried manually specifying the inf manually, everything. However, I also get an item with a yellow caution sign in the device manager called "ATmega16u2 DFU". No matter what I do, no drivers will take for this device. I also tried flashing the correct hex file to the board, but none of the flashing programs (flip, xloader) can communicate with the board. I have tried multiple cables as well.
Thinking it was a computer issue, tried on my other device, running Ubuntu MATE 1.10.2. Similar issue, but trying to install both from the website and from apt-get, both installs the port selection is grayed out. I have tried running both and regular user and super user. When I do a lsusb, I get a device called "Atmel Corp." and if I do a dmesg, it is installed as "ATmega16u2 DFU' whereas in guides I have read it should be installing along the lines of "Arduino Uno R3". Both the green "ON" light and the amber light next to port 13 are lit when I plug it into both windows and linux.
Could this be a bad board? I have no idea what could be causing this and I am getting very discouraged.
