Awhile back, I wrote a quick howto on the settings you need to get your Android-powered device recognized by Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) [eddieringle.com/debugging-your-android-application-on-the-g1-or-any-android-device-in-ubuntu-904/]. Now that 9.10 (Karmic) is almost ready for release, you will need some modifications to that udev file:
1 | SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bb4",SYMLINK+="android_adb",MODE="0666" |
Notice the change in the second part from SYSFS to ATTRS. Other than that, not much has changed. Before it works properly, you may need to rename that rule file with a higher prefix number, I had to. At first I had it set at 50 and it was working, but after upgrading to Karmic I increased it to 99 (who wants to test all the numbers between 50 and 99, right?).
Remember, restart the udev daemon using the following command:
1 | sudo service udev restart |
Enjoy your Android device (and Karmic)!
