$ sudo apt-get remove librxtx-java $ sudo updatedb $ locate RXTXcomm.jar /home/username/bin/arduino-1.0.1/lib/RXTXcomm.jar /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/ext/RXTXcomm.jar
The first one is accounted for - It's the downloaded Arduino IDE. The second is of unknown origin: dpkg --search /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/ext/RXTXcomm.jar dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/ext/RXTXcomm.jar. Googling this path finds *no* results. Is there any other way it could be related to an installed package? I usually only install software with apt-get. There's another interesting file in the same directory: $ cat /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/ext/javax.comm.rxtx.properties javax.comm.rxtx.SerialPorts=/dev/ttyS0:/dev/ttyS1:/dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyUSB1 Looks like it accounts for why Arduino IDE doesn't list /dev/ttyACM0. This file is also unknown to dpkg. Moving these away and reinstalling Arduino strangely does not work: $ sudo mv /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/ext/RXTXcomm.jar{,.bak} $ sudo mv /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/ext/javax.comm.rxtx.properties{,.bak} $ sudo apt-get purge arduino $ sudo apt-get install arduino $ sudo updatedb $ locate RXTXcomm.jar /home/username/bin/arduino-1.0.1/lib/RXTXcomm.jar /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/ext/RXTXcomm.jar.bak /usr/share/arduino/lib/RXTXcomm.jar /usr/share/java/RXTXcomm.jar $ arduino Stable Library ========================================= Native lib Version = RXTX-2.2pre2 Java lib Version = RXTX-2.1-7 WARNING: RXTX Version mismatch Jar version = RXTX-2.1-7 native lib Version = RXTX-2.2pre2 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1054988 Title: Arduino not detected on USB port To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/arduino/+bug/1054988/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
