This bug is related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source /android-tools/+bug/1132523 filed under the same project. Both bugs are the result of a single problem and a solution would solve both of them. The problem is that the udev rule created by android-tools in /lib/udev/rules.d/51-android-rules.rules assigns GROUP="adbusers".This is a nonexistant group. I solved the bug by changing the GROUP="adbusers" entries to GROUP="plugdev". I'm attaching the fixed /lib/udev/rules.d/51-android-rules.rules file.
According to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/android-tools/+bug/1132523, an alternative would be to create a 'postinst' script in 'android-rules' package to run the command groupadd -r adbusers This is the ideal method,but i haven't tested it. The latest rules 70-android-rules-adb.rules in Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr's development version of android-tools-adb contain entirely different rules. They seem to contain fixes for mtp,mass-storage mode when used with usb-debugging. ** Attachment added: "51-android-rules.rules fix" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/android-tools/+bug/1051938/+attachment/3917621/+files/51-android-rules.rules -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1051938 Title: Android ADB driver needs root To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/android-tools/+bug/1051938/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
