All computers don't see "AndroidTether" or just your ubuntu-box?

Try to start it from command-line. This generates some additional debug-output.

adb shell
su
cd /data/data/android.tether/bin
./tether start 1

Post the result ...

Hello,

I cannot use adb : device not found (i try since a long time with a friend but 
never
success).

to launch with command line as you write, i used connectbot (connected to 
local) and
i have this : 
about to run: [/data/data/android.tether/bin/iptables -F]
about to run: [/data/data/android.tether/bin/iptables -F -t nat]
about to run: [/data/data/android.tether/bin/iptables -I FORWARD -m state 
--state
ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT]
about to run: [/data/data/android.tether/bin/iptables -I FORWARD -s 
192.168.0.3/24 -j
ACCEPT]
about to run: [/data/data/android.tether/bin/iptables -P FORWARD DROP]
about to run: [/data/data/android.tether/bin/iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -s
192.168.3.0/24 -j MASQUERADE]
about to run: [/data/data/android.tether/bin/dnsmasq -i eth0
--resolv-file=/data/data/android.tether/conf/resolv.conf
--conf-file=/data/data/android.tether/conf/dnsmasq.conf]
script result was []

no network "AndroidTether" seen on ubuntu and the wifi is always activated on 
the
phone after this.

First. Ubuntu (depends on the network-manager you are using) has some problems 
joining ad-hoc networkd (I personally use opensuse).

The reason that adb is not working for you is most likely because adb is 
startet not 
as root on your computer. Do the following:

sudo adb kill-server
sudo adb shell

Maybe this helps.

for adb : this give me "error : device not found" (debug usb is on on the phone 
and i
have this rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/11-android.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"

I have tried another rules, with or without IDPRODUCT, with USER instead GROUP.

The friend who try this with a Samsung Galaxy has Debian.

Executing tether by ConnectBot is a wrong way ? 

in any way, when i tried to launch the "./tether start 1" from ConnectBot, if i
launch the GUI after, I wan see the image is in grey and the button is "stop 
tethering". 

If you want, i can try later to do the same (with connectbot) and see if a 
computer
on Windows XP see the AndroidTether network.

Hope that helps to resolve this issue

it's due of Gaosp does not support netfilter. 

to see if it is when you read this message, follow this link 
http://code.google.com/p/gaosp/issues/detail?id=78#makechanges (or see the todo 
list of 
the project)
