After serveral attempts, I can't make my arduino UNO to program an attiny85, no matter what I do. I've tried under windows 7 and also under ubuntu 14.04, to no avail. I've followed instructions on hi low tech site and similar ones on arduino site. Even some youtube video. Nothing. The wiring of my arduino is as described in those sites, so it should be correct. I'm using the 10uF capacitor too.
This is the output running avrdude manually, extra verbose:
zop@mikasa:~$ sudo /usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools/avrdude -C/usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools/avrdude.conf -q -pattiny85 -cstk500v1 -P/dev/ttyACM0 -b19200 -Uflash:w:/tmp/build2861466093518309047.tmp/Fade.cpp.hex:i -v -v -v -v -v -v -v -v

I don't know what else to try, so suggestions are very welcome.
Thanks.
PS: I had to strip out some of the output text because it was bigger than 30000 chars, I hope the info is good enough.
5vandreseton the UNO. You did upload the ArduinoISP example sketch right? (before adding the cap/wire) – Gerben Mar 3 '15 at 17:34
