Timed out waiting for device to be ready - Samsung Vibrant

I get this error trying to install on device:

Timed out waiting for device to be ready, you may try reconnecting the USB cable

I have unknown sources enabled, USB debugging enabled, and am mounting the storage. (So I have the red debugging icon and the USB icon). Please help, this is very frustrating.

  • (This is in Ubuntu Linux): I needed to kill the adb server and restart as root. Hope this helps someone.

    • PS – The steps are

      $adb kill-server

      $sudo adb devices

      Then relaunch. I also had to do a Project > Clean to get it run, sans crash, on the device. I am still not sure what situations that is required, but (for me) this was an additional step.
