[SailfishDevel] Question about connecting a Sailfish phone to Ubuntu Linux box

[Sahlan]

David,

The problem is that I did read the documentation, following the 
instructions on this page:
https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Application_SDK_Your_First_App#Create_a_Connection_to_Mer_Hardware_Device
and they are not working. The page you kindly sent me has additional 
information, which I haven't had time to try yet and which may point to 
a solution to the problem. If so, then they need to add the information 
to the page above. I can't remember where I found out how to enable 
Developer mode, since the Jolla phone manual only has one line, saying 
it needs to be enabled if you want it. It's possible I just followed 
through the instructions on the phone itself.

Yes, the Xperia phone image upload is very well documented, but 
unfortunately the phone I purchased was one of a batch number where the 
manufacturers had, for some obscure reason, blocked flashing of new 
images. Of course, I didn't know that when I purchased the phone - it's 
not the kind of detail they worry about on Amazon! So my daughter got a 
free phone and I decided it would be easier to buy a phone with Sailfish 
already installed,

Sahlan
