Description of problem: Cannot download sketches to Diecimila, due to an incompatible version of avrdude. as explained in http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#toc23 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0022-5.fc16 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. try to download sketch 2. 3. Actual results: error message :- avrdude: Yikes! Invalid device signature. Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override this check. Expected results: Additional info: I've tested the latest version of arduino 1.0 downloaded from the website and that works correctly, so this problem will go away when this package gets updated. Therefore it would be great if this package can get upgraded ASAP :) regards Richard
I don't have a Diecimila to test against. I suspect it won't help, but could you try it with the version of Arduino 1.0 that's due to be be included with Fedora 17? http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=283461
Also, I wonder if this is a duplicate of #726919. Could you try updating your avrdude to the version in https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/avrdude-5.11.1-1.fc16 and see if that helps.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
