Using the steps here - http://askubuntu.com/questions/607073/tetherings-not-running-in-ubuntu-touch-how-to-solve-it#757677 - I was able to get USB tethering to work on mako rc-proposed channel - yay: 0. enable developer mode 1. make system image writable (I did it with UT Tweak Tool) 2. it will ask you to reboot - do it 3. sudo sed -i -e 's/rndis0/usb0/g' /usr/bin/tethering 4. go to UT Tweak Tool and set ADB mode to RNDIS (the device may reboot on its own; not sure if it's a crash or expected) 5. after reboot go to UT Tweak Tool again and set the ADB mode to RNDIS again; this time it shouldn't reboot 6. sudo tethering enable 7. connect to computer via USB cable: it should be detected as a network device and connection should succeed, resulting in a successful tether Steps 0-3 only need to be done once; steps 4-6 after every reboot or changing ADB mode. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
