trouble shooting htc one m8

Hello,

I've been looking into rooting my phone and I have ran into a problem.
I've downloaded everything. adb the files to root my phone etc. But im stuck on trying to find my device
(running kali linux ;) )
i enter the command to locate it in terminal but nothing shows up:
root@kali:~# adb devices
List of devices attached
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *


root@kali:~# adb devices
List of devices attached
<----- (is just blank)

ive tried running [lsusb] and it doesnt show up either:

root@kali:~# lsusb
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 064e:d213 Suyin Corp.
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 04ca:3005 Lite-On Technology Corp.
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 046d:c52b Logitech, Inc. Unifying Receiver
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

it seems like my machine doesnt even say its there. Debugging has been checked off, ive changed the usb input or what ever from charge only to mtp to ptp and none of those work either.

first time posting ever on the form since ive spent three days trying to trouble shoot this but yet to come up with something. please help so i can run my phone as root lol!
