Using adb on Samsung Galaxy with Fedora 11

For debug access on a android phone you need a working adb (Android Debug Bridge). The linux support for the Samsung Galaxy in android-sdk-linux_x86-1.5_r3 is lame. So read the instruction from http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/msg/ae589dcd4ce8810d. On FC11 the udev rules not working, use adb as root instead.

Go to the tools directory from the SDK. Start adb with “adb start-server” in a shell on your computer. Show the recognize devices with “adb devices”.

[root@fedora tools]# ./adb start-server
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
[root@fedora tools]# ./adb devices
List of devices attached
I750004RRiachNM    device

[root@fedora tools]#

After this steps you got a working adb for Samsung Galaxy. If you know how to setup the udev rules for FC11 correctly write a comment, please.
