Throw this commands on Ubuntu terminal :

sudo wget -O /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NicolasBernaerts/ubuntu-scripts/master/android/51-android.rules
sudo chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
sudo service udev restart

Explanation :

• Download android.rules and add to android rules
• Change permissions android.rules
• Restart udev for new rules

2. Install Android Tools
   Just likes the first paragraph at this post we'll use the second options. Two android tools packages are now available for Ubuntu. It's adb and fastboot. These tools are needed to root android, flash a ROM, sideload an application. To install it with one hit, follow this command :

sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

3. Update to ADB 1.0.32
   Android 5.0 Lollipop needed ADB 1.0.32 to sideload your devices. We need install the update manually. Type and run this

wget -O https://skia.googlesource.com/skia/+archive/cd048d18e0b81338c1a04b9749a00444597df394/platform_tools/android/bin/linux.tar.gz | tar -zxvf -adb
sudo mv adb /usr/bin/adb
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/adb

You can look at the last of the output tell version of adb now on 1.0.32

4. Allow ADB trusted connection
   All most of we know, from Android 4.2.2 a new security feature has been introduced within ABD, you must confirm on your devices that attached to a trusted computer before any dialog can take the place.

adb devices

List of devices attached
E7AZCYXXXXXX unathorized

Look at your Android phone, when you plug using USB cable for first time, it will display a message asking you to allow connection to your computer as a trusted.
