Jun 25, 2013 at 22:41 comment added krlmlr @Izzy: Wait, I was wrong. It would only break libxml2 or texlive-binaries if these packages are very old. In practice I'd always go for the apt approach unless an installation tries to uninstall half of my system, but that's not the case here. Anyway, both methods of getting the files are valid and work most of the time :-)
Jun 25, 2013 at 22:37 comment added Izzy See? There it starts. So instead of fiddling around with tricky dependencies to fix a "simple apt-get install", in the end it proves much simpler to download and unpack a file manually :)
Jun 25, 2013 at 22:31 comment added krlmlr @Izzy: Right, the dependency on zlib1g will break libxml2 and texlive-binaries. Hm... Heavy.
Jun 25, 2013 at 22:29 comment added Izzy I know of that (as I'm using Ubuntu as well). But I've also heard it carries with it a bunch of dependencies -- which is why I resorted to the "copy variant". Here the executables are compiled statically, so that always works no matter the distribution.
Jun 25, 2013 at 22:20 comment added krlmlr @Izzy: In Ubuntu, I can install adb using apt-get install android-tools-adb. No need to ever copy files or adjust PATH settings. The package itself is tiny and contains only adb and a couple of necessary files.

Jun 25, 2013 at 18:39 comment added Izzy Sure thing, just did it. As we have the details already in the linked question, I kept it more general. Glad it solved that easily -- but on the other hand, that was just what I expected :) Enjoy! // Btw, for other machines to set up easily, you might also be interested in Is there a minimal installation of ADB? -- which was what finally convinced me to do it: Just copy a few files, and you're done. No need for the entire SDK if you're not a dev :)

Jun 25, 2013 at 17:07 comment added krlmlr @Izzy: Adding the manufacturer ID to the adb_usb.ini file solved the issue right away. Thanks a lot! Care to write an answer so that I can accept it?
Jun 25, 2013 at 16:02 comment added Izzy You might want to check Configuring ADB for Nexus 4 on Ubuntu 11.10. Maybe you omitted the step to make your device known :)
