I just set up my new desktop machine yesterday and want to use Elementary as my OS. Had no trouble with the installer and was able to write the OS to my primary SSD and am writing this message from within Elementary OS 6 Odin.
I've had the usual handful of teething issues with a new install but one thing I can't find a solution to which I'm sure is a software problem is that I can't get my machine to detect my Galaxy S9 over USB.
I know the cable supports data transfer as I use it often on my laptop which runs Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa. I tried some websearching around, installing android-tools-adb etc., but that didn't help.
Interestingly, it's not even detected by adb or lsusb:
adb devices

I also know that the USB ports I'm connecting to work as I used them to transfer files from a flash drive earlier.
Any ideas?
/var/log/syslogafter plugging the phone into the USB port? If the device is being blocked by the phone or some other process, there will be a message there explaining why it cannot connect (or appear inlsusb) 👍🏻
