Nexus 4 not being recognized by adb (Ubuntu 12.10)

Hi all,

I am trying to connect my Nexus 4 device to my computer via USB. I am currently running Ubuntu 12.10 with the latest Android SDK installed.

The problem is that I can't seem to properly connect the Nexus 4 so that I can see the device in the devices list of adb (using ./adb devices).

An entry to the USB rules list has already been added, which is this one:

Code:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTR{idProduct}=="4ee5", MODE="0666"

The file is named "99-nexus4.rules" and properly chmodded.

The output of lsusb is:

Code:

Bus 002 Device 012: ID 18d1:4ee5 Google Inc.

I have already tried to restart the adb server several times, but with no success. I restarted udev as well and I tried to reboot the system several times. Starting the server as root didn't help either. I choose to mount the phone as MTP device on the phone itself.

Currently I am lost about what the problem is in this case. I would love to hear some feedback from you guys.

Thanks in advance!
