title: Nexus 7 tablet not recognized by adb
body: <p>I am having some strange behavior with the android sdk and my tablet. I am attempting to get my tablet recognized with:</p>
  
  <pre><code>adb devices -l
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>command.</p>
  
  <p>Each time I plug the tablet in, a window on my computer pops up for a brief moment asking me recognizing the tablet as a camera and asking me what application do I want to open it with. Then it disappears before I click anything. On the tablet, it will say "allow usb debugging from such and such computer?". Some times that will disappear before I can click it. Other times I click it, but adb devices -l still does not recognize it. Then I check dmesg:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[ 3398.180553] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 45 using ehci_hcd
  [ 3398.321392] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=18d1, idProduct=4e44
  [ 3398.321404] usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=2, Product=3, SerialNumber=4

  <p>I am using Linux Mint 14. I've not had a problem until recently.</p>
  
  <p>Here is a list of steps I've taken to troubleshoot the problem:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Reboot my computer choosing different kernel versions</li>
  <li>Restarting adb with adb kill-server and adb start-server</li>
  <li>Plugging the tablets cable into 4 other usb ports</li>
  <li>Rebooting the tablet</li>
  <li>Double checking that usb debugging is still enabled (yes, it is)</li>
  <li>lsusb (Should show Google Inc., but it is not)</li>
  <li>I have the latest sdk and all is up to date</li>
  <li>Googling, but I only found basic troubleshooting steps that I had already taken</li>
  <li>More steps</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I am unsure what else to do. But this loss in time of productivity is costing me. I am almost finished with my first app for a company and need to complete it, so I can sell them the product.</p>
