Arduino IDE fails detecting board when no /var/lock is available #541

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

Hi everyone,

somehow I spent the last couple of hours trying to sort out why the Arduino IDE 
didn't see my Arduino (under Tools->Serial Port) on my linux system 
(Archlinux).. it turns out that somehow I didn't have anymore the /var/lock 
directory.

Without this directory it seems that Arduino IDE fails to use Serial ports. 

Problem is that the IDE didn't send out any error message nor notification of 
such problem.

Which RXTX were you using?  Did you install it separately via your 
distribution's method or was it in the Arduino package you downloaded from the 
Arduino website?
