I am having some trouble connecting to my Sparki in Linux. I installed Arduino 1.0.5 on my Ubuntu 13.10 laptop, as well as the Sparki library, and set up the virtual COM. Unlike the Mac & Win platforms, there does not appear to be Sparki driver for Linus,so based on what I found on the Reset-Button page, I selected Arduino Leonardo as my Board and the virtual COM as the Serial Port (/dev/tty/ACM2, in case it matters). Arduini appears to find the board and even communicates with the bootloader, but it fails to respond when trying to upload my sketch. I get the following error:

Is anyone else have this problem? I’ve checked out the Arduino boards and tried a few things they recommend (running as root, unplugging USB mouse, switching USB ports), but none seem to help.
BTW, is anyone else programming their Sparki on Linux? Just curious.
