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

I have
purchased a phone which is running Sailfish 3 and have set up Developer
Mode on it. On Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, I installed the Sailfish Qt Creator IDE
and built a simple test app.
Which phone are you using? Did you flash it over USB to install
Sailfish? Your setup with Ubuntu is pretty standard, so it should work.
It's an obvious question, but did you, activate the Remote connection
option, and give yourself a root password?

I connected the Sailfish phone via USB and
confirmed with lsusb that the device is recognised as being connected.
Under Tools / Options / Devices, I try to add the phone as a Sailfish OS
Physical Device. The IP address, username and password correctly
correspond to those on the phone, but clicking "Test Connection" always
gives me the message "Host unreachable". Increasing the SSH timeout does
not help. I also tried pinging the i.p. address of the phone from a
terminal window, and it is not found, though I am not sure whether ping
should work with i.p. over usb.
Pinging should work over USB, and personally I'd focus on getting that
to work first, since until you can ping it's unlikely ssh will work.
It might also be worth trying to ping in the opposite direction (i.e
pinging your computer from the phone over USB) by opening a console on
the phone and using something like this:
su-devel ping 192.16.2.6
Some of the advice on this page may also be useful (if not now, then
once you have a connection!):
