I am running Ubuntu 9.04 and have the ide installed. I'm trying to upload a program to the board for the first time and it is giving me an error "avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding." I've read some info about avr-gcc not working with Ubuntu and Arduino but I have the 4.3.2 version which I haven't heard anything bad about but perhaps it is still buggy.
Not sure what else could be causing the problem.
