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

[Sahlan]

Hello,

Thanks to the several people who gave advice on my problem, I have made 
progress.
a) I updated my Jolla phone to the latest update it was offering: 
3.0.0.8
b) I updated VirtualBox on Ubuntu to the new version 6
c) I uninstalled and reinstalled the Sailfish SDK, same version as 
before, 2.1.1, but this time I ticked the boxes to add images for my 
updated phone OS, 3.0.0.8
d) I made no changes to my settings for the phone Developer Mode, but I 
did open the terminal and issue the command devel-su
e) Now, when I tried to add the phone hardware, the result was 
successful.

I then built a skeleton Sailfish app in Qt Creator with the phone being 
the target. I added no code to the default code created. As you would 
expect, it builds fine. Now I am confused as what to do next. In 
Xamarin-Android development one naturally proceeds to the deploy stage, 
so I did that in QtCreator and chose the Build / Deploy option, and it 
told me RPMs had been created OK, but, under the Issues tab, I get the 
message "No RPM validation suite is available for the current Sailfish 
OS build target, the package will not be validated"

  Then I clicked Debug / Start and Break on Main, but nothing happens. 
I've searched for info on how to debug on Sailfish with QtCreator but 
haven't found anything. Can anyone suggest a url for a step by step page 
of instructions?

PS Having updated my phone to 3.0.0.8, I see a message telling me 
3.1.0.11 is available. I wonder if it is going to work its way 
incrementally through the available updates :)

Regards,

Sahlan
