Hi, first I want to say how awsome my new Arduino is. I’ve been using in with “Windows 7” for a while now and its worked fine but my main Os is Ubuntu Linux and I and tired of having to constantly switch between to two.
Arduino 0022 loads up perfectly and I cant write sketches, load libraries… the problem is that in the “Tools → SerialPort” menu is greyed out and I cant select it. If I try to program my board it says “COM…” cant be found. I’ve tried changing to COM in the Arduino preferences.txt file but it hasn’t worked. The board worked perfectly with “Windows 7” so it must be my Ubuntu setup. Please can some body help
Im using Arduino Uno board, i get this error message "Binary sketch size: 806 bytes (of a 32256 byte maximum)
processing.app.SerialNotFoundException: Serial port ‘COM1’ not found. Did you select the right one from the Tools > Serial Port menu?

To sum thing up i basically cant load my Arduino Uno board or use the “Tools → SerialPorts” menu.
I did what you said and the terminal gave me a long list of what it did/didn't do but it doesnt seam to of done anything. the "Tools -> "Serial Port" is still blanked out :( thanks anyway

When I ran "dmesg" i got:
"cdc_acm 4-2:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device", but not, "cdc_acm 4-2:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device" like you said, could this be part of the problem?
Ok well i may of taken a step in the right direction, I downloaded the “Windows Arduino IDE” and ran that. I can now chose between different COM’S, WHOO, but i cant right to them. I have no idea which COM Arduino is on so i tried all 4 and got the message “COM is already in use”. Ive checked and theres nothing using them apart from the Arduino IDE. Is this because im trying to run the Windows version. Heres the fulll list of problems

So far so good so try running as root (sudo) and see what happens and check to make sure your a member of the dialout group you can do this by using the following commands. With arduino plugged in
id
ls -l /dev/ttyACM*
note: I have seen other people using Ubunty 10.04 were using arduino-0021.
note: I have never used wine and arduino, so i have no idea what to expect there.

I installed IDE 18 first, as it latest version in repository Ubuntu. After that I always
working with 22-nd version without any big problem. It's possible that installation of old version set up some libraries, so newer can access.
One more things, create a link:
Ok, Im a little bit close now, thanks "Mrtaylor and Magician". The "Tools -> SerialPort" menus is available and displays "/dev/ttyS0", ive selected it and tried writing to my Arduino board.
When I ran "id, ls -l /dev/ttyACM*" i got....
"cannot access /dev/ttyACMls: No such file or directory
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 166, 0 2011-02-24 18:55 /dev/ttyACM0", this sounds troubling.
Arduino says "Done Uploading", this all sounds very good but then i get the message underneath saying...
"Binary sketch size: 750 bytes (of a 30720 byte maximum)
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x08"
The first line is as I expected but I have never seen the second line before and obviously it shows there something wrong with "avrdude", that's.
P.S. Is the Serial Port sup-post to be displayed as "/dev/ttyS0", it's just that in Windows I don't remember it looking like that.
P.P.S Big thank you to the two people who have got me this far, just one last push I hope :D:D:D
Good though “Magician” but would I be able to run an older Arduino IDE and still use my Arduino UNO board, I’ve not seen it displayed in the “Boards” menu.
You are right, 18 is not support Uno.
I suggest, installation of older version helpful to fill all path and directories,
that would be necessary for newer version. You will run 22-nd after that.
Cool, I'm not running verison 18 and Serial Ports but there no Arduino UNO. I update to 22 and there was UNO but no Serial Ports selection available. Is there any files i can copy from 22 to 18 to enable Arduino UNO in 18.
Not sure what finally did it in the end. I ran all the code you guys sent me, installed version 18 through Ubuntu Software centre, downloaded version 22 and ran that, reinstall Java numerous time and it works :D,
Thank you both :), I just hope I can reboot my laptop and not have to restart the process again.
Same problem, no solution.
I can connect to the board, upload code, but I cannot select the serial port, and attempts result in a “Serial Port not found” error.

My System: Ubuntu 10.10 64bit, Arduino Uno, IDE 22
Things I have already tried:
Symbolic link between /dev/ttyACM0 and /dev/ttyUSB0
Installed IDE from Natty repository (022). This didn’t fix the issue, which was the same in IDE 018.
uninstalled brltty
in /etc/modules Added “ftdi_sio”
remove librxtxSerial.so, then put it back
many combinations of resetting the Uno, unplugging, plugging, etc.
I followed the troubleshooting guide, and I still get “Serial Port not found” every time I try to run a sketch.
I feel like a lot of people have had this issue, but there is no clear solution. Any ideas out there?
I just registered on the forum for answering to this post. I’am sure I’ll have more questions and issues later
At least I find a solution for this one, a bit late.
Before I had same issue, the “tool->Serial Port” was Gray and the right for the serial port /dev/ttyS0 was
m@myBox:~$ ll /dev/ttyS0
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 64 2011-06-22 18:57 /dev/ttyS0
As root (or sudo), I change the right for this serial port
m@myBox:/usr/share$ sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyS0
and it becomes:
m@myBox:~$ ll /dev/ttyS0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root dialout 4, 64 2011-06-22 18:57 /dev/ttyS0
It wasn't the correct solution.
I found a more correct way to have all the users be able to select the serial port /dev/ttyS0
Just look at the group for the /dev/ttyS0 file
For me it is like that:
f@myBox:~$ ll /dev/ttyS0crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 64 2011-06-25 17:45 /dev/ttyS0
So I added myself and the others users using arduino in the dialout group
Edit /etc/group
and add all the users you want in the dialout group like that
dialout:x:20:myself,otherUserName
Best solution: Don't run IDE under Ubuntu... wrap if you must but use XP or W7 instead ... there are practically no headaches there. It almost seems as though the Arduino team did most of the development in MS land and not in the kingdom of Linux. Not a criticism just an observation.
