Using Android hardware devices on Ubuntu

Posted on June 14, 2012 by Wijnand

I’ve been working on some Android applications lately and switched to Ubuntu for this. It took a while to figure out how to set up USB debugging on Unbuntu, but the steps below worked nicely for me.

sudo vi /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
For each vendor add: SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, ATTR{idVendor}==”0bb4″, MODE=”0666″, GROUP=”plugdev”
chmod a+rx /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
sudo restart udev
adb devices (your phone should be listed there)

(Tested on Ubuntu 11)

Flash Player Debugger on Ubuntu

Posted on June 6, 2012 by Wijnand

After having spent a good part of an hour on trying to install the Flash Player Debugger for FireFox on Ubuntu 11 64-bit, I found the following steps worked:

sudo apt-get install nspluginwrapper
copy libflashplayer.so (from debugger download) to /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/
sudo nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so
restart FireFox

Thanks to: AskUbuntu.com.

Don’t forget to set up mm.cfg.

When all is done, run:

tail -f ~/.macromedia/Flash_Player/Logs/flashlog.txt
