I found a "workaround" for now:

You can get "somewhat" around the sending issue. Type enough so the "Expand Text Box Arrow" is usable (or move you finger around the text box a little (up works very often), for some reason the arrow shows up then too), press it and now you can press the blue send button to the right. It is far FAR from working / good but it works for now. That also allows selecting and then "overwriting" the current text. That can be considered as a "backspace" workaround.

ALSO: Signal-Desktop uses more battery then it should. It uses a far less if you close it and reopen it and don't open any chats. IDK. why.

@s10ley install it inside libertine container not on the base system

Perhaps they have a snap version? Or maybe they can be packaged as click and run on Wayland 😄
Not sure how much effort that would be though. Someone persevered and got Supertux to work again so maybe with enough will? 😄

Hello.

Thanks for your advice that permit me to start enancing my mind about UT.

I find our dialogue very interesting. Really. Sincerely.

But on the one hand, we can see that they do not lead to anything concrete, neither for me nor for other users (I think that, even if we have a revelation here, it would take years before we have something corresponding).

So I will think about it a little before continuing in this conversation, even if I like to do so.

I’m not giving up, not right now.

I will be less available for a few days, so my next answer may be delayed.

Thanks again.

@nvaxplus Did you set the screen to stay on while setting up the container? If not delete it and try again leaving the screen set to stay on, that worked for me.

Just a thought but this is an old thread and most of the info out of date, might be easier for everyone to start a new one.

@irnbru no worries and glad it helped

Hi @sp41nx

You can try this method to get root shell in libertine container in this post:

@David-F Did you ever get Signal to install through Libertine? How did that go?

@gudaoxuri For dnsmasq-base problem, check this solution

And following the step 4~6 should solve the problem.

@wynn1212 Awesome! It works! Thank you.

It was in /home/phablet/.cache/libertine-container/focal/rootfs/usr/share/applications.
Beware, everytime when you perform the package update or container update, those icons may reappear again.

@Georg I had similar problems with Libertine.
Instead of editing the file from "within" the chroot, i just edited it from outside (as the user "phablet"):
nano /home/phablet/.cache/libertine-container/focal/rootfs/etc/nsswitch.conf

also I highly recommend using the ADB Shell or SSH 🙂

@Bouleetbil
I struggled with getting a root shell as well and tried many things, but suddenly found a quite easy way:
after logging in to the libertine focal container with

libertine-container-manager exec -i focal -c "/bin/bash"

type the command "fakeroot" and press return. I could then run apt within the container without the dpkg "requires superuser" errors.

or it is possible to use the following command to log in to libertine with user root:

libertine-container-manager exec -i focal -c "/bin/fakeroot"

EDIT: it might only work for libertine containers of type 'chroot'. (-t chroot when creating the container)

@ancientsounds said in Failure to finish creating Libertine container on OTA-3:

... the network I was using was better for downloads

Probably that.

@naumi

if you use libertine tweektools fron open store you can scale things up to make firefox better. Also, have a look around at all the add-ons you can try. Sush as "scroll anyware".

For Falkon, if you install plasma window manager, you will get settings to mess around with. themes and button size. However. Having that setup is messing with firefox, making things too big if you want to have booth firefox and falkon. (for example as isolated browsing)

So, a bit tricky there.
