Title: arduino duemilanove instalation in ubuntu 8.04
Post by: blackbeard on October 25, 2009, 10:40:12 AM: this process seems to be a pain in the bottom. first off i can't find the ftdi drivers since they arn't in the folder contrary to the readme. has anyone successfully installed the arduino in ubuntu 8.04? if so how do you do it

Did you follow the exact instructions found at http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Learning/Linux (http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Learning/Linux) ? This is all that is required.

My advice would be to either upgrade to the latest version (Karmic Koala) or run Karmic or Windows in a virtulisation eg Virtualbox.
