I have been experiencing issues with uploading sketches to my recently acquired LilyPad USB (atmega32u4) on Linux Mint (32 bits). On Windows 7 (64bits), the board works just fine... Also, my Arduino Uno works perfectly as well on both operating systems! I do have to use the Arduino IDE 1.5.8 for things to run smoothly.
First off, when plugged into any of my USB 2.0 ports, the device is recognized properly as LilyPad USB by SparkFun (1b4f:9208). Commonly, it shows up as ttyACM0, but after some upload attempts, usually it is ttyACM1 or ttyACM2, or even ttyACM3, and usuallly (eventually) "stabilizes" as ttyACM2.

When I run my Arduino IDE 1.5.8 as root, I select my board (LilyPad Arduino USB) and port (ttyACM0). Compiling a sketch is not an issue, but uploading stalls somewhere in the first communication between PC and the LilyPad. Typically, ".s" is send, and "c" is received.

Sometimes, I can get a little bit further (and the process stalls somewhere halfway sending the actual sketch), and one time, I even managed to complete the upload succesfully. Fiddling with the reset button or changing USB cables (which are common solutions to the problem I can find on the forums) do not alleviate the problem.
When connected to my USB port, LED 13 blinks according to the program that is currently running. Also, the battery led flashes like crazy when no battery is connected. Otherwise, it is burning continuously. Tx and Rx leds are flashing during upload, and LED 13 starts pulsating. All seems normal to me...
How can I fix this uploading issue? It would be awesome to finally be able to upload my sketches to the LilyPad USB!
