How to program a AVR (arduino) with another arduino

Step 7Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting
Avrdude errors:
avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "/dev/ttyUSB0": No such file or directory
You have the wrong port (-P) specified or your arduino isn't connected. check the connection

avrdude: Device signature = 0x000000
avrdude: Yikes!  Invalid device signature.
         Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
         this check.

This is kind of general error. Your chip isn't recognized.
Check the connection on the board (GND/5V connected to pins ?)
You will get this error when your chip is configured to use an external oscillator and it isnt working (there isn't one or it isn't oscillating properl - 22pf caps missing ?)
