Need sudo on Fedora #106

DamienCassou · 2017-03-21T09:27:02Z

I have a bacon phone and a Fedora 25 laptop. I think I did what was required but I still need sudo to list devices:

10:21:44 [:~] $
> head /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules 
# These rules refer: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/device.html
# and include many suggestions from Arch Linux, GitHub and other Communities.
# Latest version can be found at: https://github.com/M0Rf30/android-udev-rules

# Skip this section below if this device is not connected by USB
SUBSYSTEM!="usb", GOTO="android_usb_rules_end"

LABEL="android_usb_rules_begin"
# Devices listed here in android_usb_rules_{begin...end} are connected by USB
#	Acer

10:24:06 [:~] $ 
> ls -l /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules 
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 67 21 mars  10:16 /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules -> /home/cassou/Documents/projects/android-udev-rules/51-android.rules

I rebooted my laptop but still:

10:21:44 [:~] $
> fastboot devices
no permissions; see [http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html]	fastboot

10:19:48 [:~] $ 
> sudo fastboot devices

Try adding yourself to the plugdev group and retest.

this group doesn't exist, should I create it?

Just googled it out. I don't have a Fedrora install to test (nor any friends that would use it).

Please run:

which adb
adb version
sudo udevadm monitor -e
# here plug in your phone

Paste in here in a code block or on a pastebin service you prefer.

OK, I tried to replicate it with the OnePlus One we have at the office and failed. I'm pretty sure that either the rules file was not parsed by your udev and/or you'll have to add yourself to the plugdev group.

Note that on Fedora there's no default plugdev group and according to this thread they advise to make an androiddev group.

So to ensure that everything is in order we'll follow most of the advise in that thread using plugdev instead of androiddev (because plugdev is used in 51-android.rules):

sudo groupadd plugdev
sudo usermod -aG plugdev your_login_name

# refresh groups for this shell session - hacky hack - log out and in if it fails
exec su -l $USER

# reload rules and restart udev
sudo udevadm control --reload
sudo systemctl restart systemd-udevd.service

# test if it worked
adb devices

DamienCassou · 2017-03-22T08:50:22Z

adb devices works, but fastboot devices still requires sudo.

> adb devices
List of devices attached
5d5015ff	device

> adb reboot bootloader

> fastboot devices
no permissions (verify udev rules); see [http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html]	fastboot

> sudo fastboot devices

I just had a similar issue. I found out that I had multiple versions of adb, and the version avaliable on PATH wasn't the right one. May be fastboot is calling a different adb

DamienCassou · 2017-03-29T07:23:38Z

@RSFalcon7 Thanks for the suggestion. I don't think I'm in a similar situation because (1) I just reinstalled my whole system, (2) I installed adb/fastboot from the fedora package manager and from nowhere else, and (3) locate can't find anything else either.

zamber · 2017-03-29T19:03:50Z

ADB and fastboot are different binaries usually shipped in the same package (Android SDK has the latest one, use it if you have a USB-C phone). If you fix the path export for the binaries' directory both ADB and fastboot should be from there.

Still having this issue on Fedora 34

likeadragonmaid · 2021-10-14T05:01:16Z

Having same issue on Fedora 35/ Rawhide

JoesCat · 2021-10-14T14:54:06Z

Some differences to note:
With Debian derived distros - example....Ubuntu, Mint,.... use group "plugdev"

With Redhat aligned distros - example...Fedora,Centos,Mageia,SuSE, ...try use group "usb".
These distros didn't really catch onto using sudo either.
sudo is convenient, but it is also putting ease-of-use ahead of security.

Command 'which' can also help you find which version of adb you are actually using, example:
which adb
