The new minis arrived from seed. Test are no good. When I take a "virgin" mini plug it in ad reset it (using button or reset.py) it comes up again. after I upload the blink sketch I have again the misterious "2-reset" behaviour.
So it definitely is a software problem, but where???

I have a workaround: use XP. when I upload the blink sketch using XP (I don't like and use only rarely) everything is fine. mini comes up after every reset...
any sugestions how to fix the ubuntu bug?
A test I'd like to try is: compile and upload using command-line toolchain. how do I do this with a sketch made in the IDE?

No idea, I'm afraid. I've never had this problem on Ubuntu (we've tested with 10.04 and 12.04).

The quick and dirty approach is to compile using the IDE, then go to the build folder (which you'll be able to find by setting build.verbose to true in your preferences file) and invoke dfu-util yourself on the resulting .bin.
If you want to use the full command line toolchain, you'll need to make your code valid C++. Typically this just means adding prototypes, some includes, as well as a call to init() and the standard main() (see the libmaple main.cpp.example file for how to do the init() and main() parts).
I can't see why it would make a difference, though.

Yes. The double reset is independent of the machine it is plugged in. it also occurs when I have the mini in an USB power supply.
I could send you all temporary files and the bin of both IDEs (WinXP and Ubuntu) and you cold try to find the difference, if you like...
What would you need?

Might as well get everything. If you can just bundle up the entire Linux build directory into a .tar.gz and send it our way (either by posting a link or sending to info@leaflabs.com), I'll try to reproduce the bad behavior here.
Please use a small program! Blinky will do just fine.
