Arduino upload error "stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding" in Fedora

Before uploading your programme, make sure you selected the right board type, from menu Tools → Board.

Check if you have any jumpers connected to the digital pins 0 or 1. Those pins have also serial communication functions. And because you are uploading on the Arduino board, using the serial connection provided by the USB cable, you don't want the board's serial port to be engaged in other activities via pins 0 or 1.
