I must be missing something basic.
Basic, yes, but not necessarily well known. I'll be that you ran
su - ..
Not sure exactly what you meant there but I did su, not su -
to become yourself so that you effected a login shell, which is what you need to read your groupship. You can either log out and log in again or just ssh to your machine in that window and you'll then have the plugdev group in that shell.
But I just tried su - and I just tried ssh and neither affected the outcome. groups tells me I am a member, adb tells me I am not.
I'm not intending to log out, unless somebody convinces me it really is necessary for some obscure linux reason. :)
Ah! Success, or at least a step along the road. There is no need to start a new terminal or to logout. It's not a linux thing at all. It's adb. It's necessary to run $ ./adb kill-server $ ./adb -a devices Now I just need to understand the arcane-ness of udev rules :( Oh, BTW, it seems plugdev is a built-in group on debian. I don't think we have the same on opensuse. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
