adb won't list my android devices..

**ronjjjg8885** · July 5th, 2024

hello
i followed this
https://wiki.lineageos.org/adb_fastboot_guide
[downloaded and extracted to ~/adb-fastboot and then added the text to ~/.profile]..

but i can't list my device after typing "adb devices".. [i did allowed USB debugging]..
it does not asks me anything on my device..

in the past i did it with windows. but i don't use windows any more..

what can the reason be?
thank you.

edit..
i added the text in the end of the .profile file..
i did log out and in again

edit..
now it looks like this..

Try a different USB cable and check the output of "sudo dmesg" for errors.

i've tried a different cable and port but it says it can't connect to server.....

here is the "sudo dmesg" output..

I must say, you offer what must be the most unique and possibly creative perspective on providing screenshots. The cropped and sideways Samsung monitor is possibly your pièce de résistance.

That being said, I see no errors in your dmesg output. The phone appears to connect and be recognized by the kernel. You might want to confirm USB debugging is actually on and if so, perhaps another USB port or computer entirely.

Perhaps others have more ideas to try. adb has always just worked for me on Ubuntu.

does adb can be considered a privacy problem if i install it on my main computer to try? i don't like big tech companies software on my main computer.. but if you will tell me it is not a problem i will try..

It's terminal output, just copy and paste it and wrap it in code tags.

i don't have my password manager on that computer so i can't login to the forums there.
but i will copy it to a usb drive and post it from there.....
do you need the terminal out put to be posted in code tags at this point?
