This is quite a common question, but none of the solutions appear to work for me. First time asker, so apologies if I get the conventions wrong.
I am trying to connect my Galaxy S5 to my computer running Ubuntu 14.04 so I can do some android development. I have recently downloaded and installed Android Studio and the SDK and my device is detected when it's connected via USB but the device either appears as 'unauthorized' or 'offline'. I know I should be expecting the RSA key prompt but this never appears.
I have tried:
I have tried it on a separate machine that runs fedora and this works fine with no issues, the promopt appears right away. Therefore I imagine it is not the USB cable that is faulty.
Any ideas?
Try these:
adb kill-server
then adb start-server
Hope this helps.
