I've just upgraded my machine to Ubuntu 8.04 using the EMC2 live CD. I've been working on a jog pendant and DRO using an Arduino Diecimila and everything was working fine with Ubuntu 6.06, but since the upgrade neither the Arduino IDE nor my Python interface code can talk to either of my Arduino boards. (They still work fine with my Windows PC, so it's not the hardware).
It seems that the Arduino is not picking up a driver. dmesg shows: [ 198.610819] usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4 [ 198.808664] usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice and lsusb gives: Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 003 Device 004: ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC Bus 003 Device 003: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 but ls /dev/ttyUSB* gives only: /dev/ttyUSB0 Which is the Prolific USB to serial converter - there is no sign of the Arduino. Poking around a bit, it looks like the ftdi_sio driver is missing from the system. I've tried building it from source without success (it's marked as experimental, and I don't know how to get it to build with the other USB serial drivers) Has anyone else got the Arduino running with 8.04? If so, what's the trick?
