So I just downloaded Arduino IDE on my Linux laptop. I also have an Arduino mega 2560. With nothing connected to it, I tried to upload the blink sketch to test if it is working. However, I get this error:
Arduino: 1.6.11 (Linux), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Mega or Mega 2560, ATmega2560 (Mega 2560)"

I tried the Arduino Mega on a Windows PC and it works. I cannot test if the same problem occurs on other Arduinos as all my other Arduinos are broken.
Can someone please tell me how to fix this? Thanks!
