I just noticed there is now a PPA (I’m well behind on the times)

https://launchpad.net/~arduino-ubuntu-team

As linked from arduino.cc
It might be worth updating the blog post, and an additional thanks for writing this in the first place, It helped me loads.

Thanks a lot, simple way of launching IDE at last. The only problem was I had to chmod the icon to be accessible so if you can’t find it when selecting icon, type in bash: sudo chmod 777 /usr/share/icons/arduino.png

Thanks, very nice tutorial :-) I have one problem though, Arduino won’t start unless started as root. There are no error messages, it just doesn’t start. If I start it as root everything works, I can program the Arduino (FreeDuino serial connected to /dev/ttyS0) just fine.

Euhm thank you I guess.

I’m not contra MS however, they both have pro’s and con’s, but that’s not worth a discussion.

I’m pretty sure the ‘Nothing to configure’ means exactly that, you only have one choice so you can’t configure it to be anything else but the one installed.

I found a thread about the same error message, a solution is provided in one of the last posts.

Let me know if this was any help.
