Flashing a N800 on Ubuntu Gutsy

I've a new laptop (T61) with a new distro (Ubuntu Gutsy) and a new N800.
I'm trying to upgrade it to the latest firmware, but the flasher fails:

$ sudo .flasher-3.0 -f -F SU-18_2006SE_3.2006.49-2_PR_F5_MR0_ARM.bin -R
flasher v0.8.7 (Oct 17 2006)

dmesg also shows this:

Google didn't help. I'd like at least to know whether the fault lies in
the laptop, the OS, or the N800. Has anyone flashed the firmware on
Ubuntu Gutsy successfully?

(I'll be able to test flashing on my desktop this evening; it runs
Ubuntu Feisty and I've successfully flashed my old N800 on it.)

I mixed up the images and was trying to flash a 770 firmware on a N800.
The error message, however, didn't tell me that:

A warning and confirmation prompt would be nice at this point, if the
device ("RX-34" doesn't match the software "SU-18_...").

Marius,

I've been able to flash mine a number of times (I try things and say
oooooops a lot) successfully from Fiesty. It really sounds to me like this
is a Gutsy bug not a Nokia one.

Hello,

I have been using Ubuntu Gutsy for several months now and have been
flashing my N800 about
weekly (flashing internal releases of the latest stuff you can find from
stage.maemo.org trunk)
and it has been working all the time with no problems (I haven't
upgraded the flasher program, it is the
same that came with the latest official N800 software release). If this
only occurs with Gutsy for you,
then it might be that it is the combination of your hardware plus the
software (either Gutsy or the flasher).
I am using a ugly and old several years old Dell D600 and at least this
thing works on it
(allthough it has a number of other maemo-unrelated issues because of
the outdateness of the hardware,
but that is an another story).

Best Regards,
Karoliina

That's good to know.

My problem was that I tried to flash a 770 image on a N800.
