I see that files on system-image.ubports.com are stored with digital signatures, so, the situation is better here, but still requires implementing mechanism of choosing mirrors in installer software. I'll take a look at that soon. Thanks
TEXStudio is working in Libertine! The generation of sample documents went well. Tested on channel 24.04/daily on Fairphone 4. RAM usage topped at 2.7GB (free -h).
Other working things that are often used together with TEXStudio in the same libertine container:
inkscape (vector graphics)
atril (pdf viewer)
thunar (file manager)
Other;
mousepad (text editor)
parole (music)
Not working as well out of the box:
emacs
gedit
leafpad (usable, complaining about wayland)
Observations
xfce software tends to work with libertine.
Some windows get a window title bar that I didn't figure out how to get rid of.
Some apps in libertine are in bright mode. Maybe there is a way to add dark mode theme to a libertine container.
A libertine container can say you need to run dpkg --configure -a as root to fix an installation gone wrong. How to become root in a libertine container is not straight forward. su - not working. su phablet not working. libertine-container-manager exec -i noble -c "/bin/bash" and then fakeroot seems to work.

Thanks for your suggestion. Things are working now since downgrading to 24.04.1.x RC.
I think the 24.04.2.x version had several things in read-only mode (only guessing from reading the logs that were generated). Even when trying commands as sudo, received similar errors "need root access, read access, etc".
Appreciate your input.
I got to the point where is asks for a password but won't accept my password. Word of caution: don't change your password from command line if you've enabled passcode - when you phone locks it only gives you a numpad to enter your password, not a keyboard.
A shame it cant be moved, i'm left handed, so hold the phone with my right hand, which makes the left side launcher uncomfortable to use, going to add it as a suggestioni think, im sure im not the only leftie using UT!
@TobsEnd I had similar issue with FP2 some time ago. Couldn't figure why, happened after update, persisted after channel change (stable, rc) and next OTA updates didn't fix the video playback. I couldn't play videos for several months.
The video issues were fixed after complete UBports reinstall (with wipe) using the installer.
I hope it will fix your issues too.

For the record, the behavior you described is not a bug. When an app is uninstalled the users data and settings are not automatically removed. Just as they are not on desktop Ubuntu. These typically live in your home folder. Having your data and settings intact when reinstalling an app after having removed it is a feature.
@b3 you can file an issue as feature request here : https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues
It can be quite a big work if we have to handle different backup format. Is there anything standard ?
@PizzaLovingNerd There is no technical reason that anbox could not work on the PinePhone, however it is still an extremely experimental feature even on the devices where it is currently available, and work has been going toward more important things for the PinePhone.
Also, I think anbox on UT has no arm64 support yet. So, it would take someone contributing on making it work to get it to the point where it could be installed and run.
know what? a little birdie just reminded me of this page: http://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/ubp-5.1.html
it kinda says everything that needs to be said, no? had you seen this page? did you have to do something else? actually, which device are you working on?
I'm thinking of moving that page from porting (where frankly I had overlooked it) to system software development section....
I agree
