Arduino: 1.6.6 Hourly Build 2015/06/16 04:29 (Linux), Board: "Arduino Nano, ATmega328"

avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "/dev/ttyUSB2": No such file or directory
ioctl("TIOCMGET"): Inappropriate ioctl for device

Could be just replaced with "Failed to find device at "/dev/ttyUSB2" ". Also, avrdude error message does not begin with a new line, it is printed on top of previous message bytes.avrdude.

Actually, that error message may mean lots of different things and we can't change it so easily. As for the missing new line, it's caused by a buggy handling of the output we hope to fix for 1.6.6. Also see #2680 and #2798
