Issues with PPK2

Question

I'm facing issues with my brand new PPK2 tool
What I've done so far, my setup :
* Ubuntu, linux
* I installed latest nrf connect application from official
* Installed Power profiler on startup screen
* installed SEGGER package/driver
* Installed nrf** udev rules from official github/releases

With all that Power profiler does not recognize ppk2 at all, no device is seen, although ppk2 dv when connected is blinking green
I tried different usb cables/ports, nothing worked

The tested version is not required, and your J-Link version will most likely work fine. If you get issues related to J-Link with your devices, use the tested version.

I managed to bring ppk2 in bootloader mode (blinking red), but it didn't appear anyways this is some kind of nonsense to me...

The solution was - both cables have no data lines, please use proper usb cable... shame on my head
