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

Tue Jul 23 20:21:31 UTC 2019

Eli,

My development PCs  and VMs running on OSX (about twelve in total) each 
use a static i.p. address from that range, but not the 192.168.2.15 
address that the phone is currently set to. No devices use DHCP. Are you 
saying there might still be a clash with an address used by the Jolla 
subnet of which I won't be aware? Tomorrow I will install arp-scan to 
see if it can pick up an address clash problem. I will also try making a 
connection by wi-fi instead of usb, as the phone reports wifi as being 
on the 192.168.3.x subnet. When I added the Jolla phone, it reported 
success, but, as I said in my second email, the Debug / Start and Break 
on Main does not seem to be working.

Regards,

Sahlan
