Hi
Do you have android-tools-ad installed?
Did you follow the instructions to enable developer mode in settings?
And then the phone needs to be opened using your pincode or password
If so adb devices should list the phone and adb shell can then access
it.
The filesystem is read-only by default, to make it writeable either
use phablet-config writeable-image or run sudo -S mount -o
remount,rw / on the device
Your Mint may not know the devices usb id. You can add it with the
file ~/.android/adb_usb.ini containing
the string: 0x2a47

Does it show up in lsusb?
Try:
lsusb | grep 2a47:0003
( on the computer/laptop, not on the phone )
I find it easier to start ssh:
sudo service ssh restart
( on the phone )
And log in with ssh ( as the user phablet )
you can copy the id_dsa* from ~/.ssh/ folder on the phone to
the computer/laptop and use
it to log in.
( on the phone, cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub >>
~/.ssh/authorized_keys first )
Hope it helps.
Kind regards,
Ed
