Attaching an Anrdoid phone to Fedora 10

The file /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules must contain:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb",SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4",SYMLINK+="android_adb",MODE="0666"


After that execute:

# udevcontrol reload_rules

Then attach your device. You should be able to see it reported by the command

# $ANDROID_HOME/tools/adb devices

Thunderbird URL handlers

Even on a KDE system Thunderbird relies on the definition of URL handlers contained within gconf. To edit these look in $HOME/.gconf or install the RPM gconf-editor and edit away.
