If your trying to get adb to work just install HTC Sync

Use the one on your sdcard, it won't sync with linux but it will install the drivers

oh, good to know =)

there are no drivers, or htc sync for linux.

Make sure you have the latest Sun jre installed
Extract the SDK
if Ubuntu --

sudo su
<password>
cd /path to SDK/tools/
./adb kill-server
./adb start-server
exit

then try adb with your user account

Yeah every time you reboot your computer or stop the adb server, you have to run adb start-server as root or through sudo. Otherwise it won't be able to access any devices.

Thanks guys.

Thanks guys.

No problem!

This is a great place to practice bash scripting

open a term, su to root, enter pwd, cd to dir, stop/start server, exit root shell, cd back to dir as user.

And there's a few of us Linuxiots here, so shout out when you hit the next inevitable snag lol

Well... The snag is... I'm getting the following:

List of devices attached
???????????? no permissions

Do I need to sudo just to access the device?

64 bit system?

if so, delete your extracted SDK folder (keep the downloaded file)

apt-get install ia32-libs

then re-extract the sdk and try again.

It is a 64 bit system, yes. But I already have the latest version of ia32-libs installed.

Could it be because I'm using OpenJava and not the Sun Java JRE? If so, how the hell do I get the Sun JRE on Lucid Lynx? I can't seem to find it...

You have to use Sun java (yeah, strange choice for OSS I know)

edit /etc/apt/sources.list
add this line at the end:

deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner

then update apt

sudo apt-get update

Then you can install sun java by

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts

After it's done, run

sudo update-alternatives --config java

to choose which java install to use. Hopefully this will fix you up

All right. I've got it. Thanks for the help.
