Arduino and openSUSE 12.1

English Applications

Hi, i am completely new to openSUSE so please bear with me…
I am trying to get the Arduino software to work with openSUSE 12.1. Now i do have the program itself installed. The problem i am running into is that i cannot select a serial port. I have tried following these directions Arduino playground - OpenSUSE. Except when i try to rewrite the file boot.local it says i do not have permission. I tried changing the permission and the ownership but neither will work… Any advice will be greatly appreciated
Thanks

As a KDE user you would do:

Alt-F2: kdesu kwrite /etc/init.d/boot.local

Or in Gnome Do:

Alt-F2:gnomesu gedit /etc/init.d/boot.local

I also have a script you can use found here: SYSEdit - System File Editor - Version 1.00 - Blogs - openSUSE Forums

I also have another good blog here: systemd and using the after.local script in openSUSE 12.1 - Blogs - openSUSE Forums

Hopefully you find this info helpful.

Thank You,
