Are there linux versions of the USB drivers and ADB available for use with the Pandigital Novel?

restarting in USB mode

the screen will cycle and return to usb connect status, not much will seem diferent there.return to your terminal shell:cd to the folder where you put your favorite appstype:abd install 'appname.apk'NOTE: I just got in the habit of using single quotes to handle filenames with spaces in them.

$ adb install 'Seesmic.apk'992 KB/s (661970 bytes in 0.651s) pkg: /data/local/tmp/Seesmic.apkSuccess

Is what a successful app install should look like. PLEASE NOTE: I have not had success "seeing" installed apps in the default Novel home screen. I've had to install the other home launchers mentioned elsewhere in this forum. I'm a serious n00b here, having only rooted my B&N nook as my only other android device, so your experience may vary. Have your SD card and new firmware download ready ;-)Good luck.

I have this working on Lucid x64, using the Android SDK. I originally set it up for the emulator (see this link: http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/Android_on_Ubuntu_10.04 ) but an added benefit is that that the adb commands work on the PDN, so far. Keep in mind that I had already hacked it on Windows, prior to setting this up - I've only tested the adb install command, so far.

To date, I had done all the "hacking" of the PDN from my XP box. Today, I installed the Android SDK and an emulator on my linux box. The emulator works well and I was able to get packages from the android marketplace.However, when I attach the PDN to the linux box, it recognizes the connection to the PDN, but when I try to do anything via adb, I receive -- error: insufficient permissions for deviceThis happens whether in a terminal as a user or as root. I did run the "root hack" from the XP box. Anyone have an idea why I'm getting these permission errors?

you don't need drivers for linux. you need to create the udev rules file that I posted in the other thread. use vendor id 18d1.http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html#setting-up

In my case, my USB access is already changed as I use Virtualbox. It could be that the VBox changes also benefit the adb access, but I'm just guessing at this point.
