oh sorry for that, I really didn't know we have a mailing list for that.
If it's ok for everyone I will keep here just this thread and I will
use that list for future threads about QtCreator.

luckly it was the reason "a" :)
I increased the timeout to 20s and it worked! I was able to connect,
deploy and run a Qt application on my "remote" netbook.

can I also specify the destination in my .pro?
I explain my problem. The default behaviour is to deploy
"MyTestProject" in "/opt/MyTestProject/" on the remote device.
I "fixed" the problem just giving chmod 777 to the /opt but this is
just a workaround. I could deploy my app to the /home/user folder or
just give "user" RW permissions for /opt
Which method do you think it would be better?

ok, thanks! Even if at the moment I hope I won't have to change
anything in the code.

Best regards,
