Arduino on Mageia linux

[Shlomo Solomon]

I installed the Arduino IDE from Mageia RPMs and added my user to the
lock group as instructed.

In the tools >> serial port menu, there is no  /dev/ttyUSB0 -
only /dev/ttyS0 and  /dev/ttyS1. I tried both of them but could not
upload a program. I read that sometimes Arduino needs to be run as
root, so I tried that too with no success. Here's what I get when I try
to upload:

Binary sketch size: 1,056 bytes (of a 32,256 byte maximum)
