adb doesn't show nexus 5 device
adb, android, linux
Solution
I had a similar problem with my Nexus 4(Android version 4.4.2), it wasn't listed in adb devices.
Make sure USB debugging is enabled from device, and do the following on your PC:
Update Android SDK (Google USB Driver)
From PC Control Panel, System -> Device manager -> Right click Nexus 4 -> Update driver.
Set android-sdk-folder\extras\google\usb_driver as path to search, include subfolders checked.
If windows tells you that the driver is up to date, just uninstall the driver (right click on nexu4 -> uninstall driver) and start from step 2 again.
After that, open a cmd and type adb kill-server and then a adb devices, now it will include your device.

Problem
``` Android Studio 0.3.6 Fedora 18 3.11.7-100.fc18.x86_64 Nexus 5 Kitkat ``` Hello, I have been using my `Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0` running `Android 4.1.2` everything works fine with `adb`. However, I have just bought a new Nexus 5 device, and when I do the following command `adb devices` it doesn't show my Nexus 5. Under `Android SDK Manager | Extras | Google USB Driver | status "Not compatiable with Linux"` Because I am running `Fedora 18` if I need drivers what drivers for the USB do I need? Because the Samsung works fine and I can deploy and run my apps, I think my setup is correct. So I am wondering if there is something wrong with my Nexus 5. I have tried the following: ``` adb kill-server adb start-server ``` Setting the Nexus 5 `Camera PTP` and `media device MTP` didn't work. Many thanks for any suggestions,
