Can't show android device in ubuntu 13.04

I have a Android tablet device that can't be showed by android devices on my laptop(T61), but it worked fine on DELL PC with the same OS: Ubuntu 13.04.

I've update the adb to the latest platform-tools:18.0.1 and 

export ADB_TRACE=all

After :

$sudo adb kill-server 
$sudo adb start-server
$ adb devices

it shows:

List of devices attached

The List of devices attached is NOTHING!

But when I used:

$lsusb

It shows Bus 001 Device 007: ID 2207:0010

And the tablet also shows "USB debugging connected", which can also be mounted as "USB mass storage".

So WHY the adb devices shows nothing (only on my laptop)?

Solution

  • I added the vender ID to ~/.android/adb_usb.ini and finally found the device.

    Steps:

    First: $lsusb

    example result: Bus 001 Device 025: ID 18d1:0003 Google Inc.

    The 18d1 is the vender ID, add it to ~/.android/adb_usb.ini by

    Second: echo 0x18d1 >> ~/.android/adb_usb.ini

    Third: 

    $sudo adb kill-server 
$sudo adb start-server
$adb devices
