I'm trying to setup adb on Ubuntu 10.10.
I need to insert the Vendor ID for the device. (The Colby Kyros)
Anyone know anything about that?

This is a useful description of the process.
[HOW-TO]Set up Android SDK/ADB/Fastboot on Ubuntu Linux - xda-developers
It does not describe how to figure out the vendor id so...
steps:
1) plug your phone into the usb bus on your system. does not need to be in application debug mode yet...

2) verify that you can see the phone by using 'lsusb', e.g.:
$ lsusb
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bb4:0c02 High Tech Computer Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
...
the line "ID 0bb4:0c02 High Tech Computer Corp." is my HTC phone but the idea is the same. the rest is other stuff on the usb busses. ignore it.

3) the 4 digit value 18d1 is the Vendor ID of my Coby. yours should be same. whatever it is, this is the value you need to use in your udev rule.

I have been using the ADK on linux for a while now and never once has it asked me for a vendor id. What are you trying to do?

Don't know what ADK is but when you set up adb you have to enter it in udev rules 50 or 51 file. if you don't, when you enter $adb devices it gives some error with ??????? in it.

You can set adb to run suid root...
Code:
chmod 4755 adb
chown root:root adb

@l_n,
What Vendor ID #,for the Coby Kyros, are you using in your udev rules?

You don't need it if adb is started as root. After changing the permissions, run 'adb stop-server' then 'adb start-server'.

./adb devices shows my Droid x, but not my Colby Kyros.

Any thoughts on this?

Sorry, that should have been kill-server, not stop-server.
