@arubislander yeah, the couple of apps I was trying to install did provide arm64 binaries. Note that installing gnome-software works well, and AFAIK it uses flatpak to manage its applications. Apps on the Gnome repos usually don't work all that well, but it's perfectly capable to update the and install applications without any issue.

@MrT10001 I appreciate your advise, but either one a tablet or a phone can end up in the toilet. It does not matter size of the device. Both are large enough to not be able to be flushed. If it ends up in the toilet, no big deal. This is an OLD phone. I have more old ones.

@arubislander I've looked at the logs per your suggestion, but strangely enough the app does not list any log pertaining to Sublime Text (which I would expect to find under focal_sublime_*), and I don't find any reference to it in any of the lomiri-* logs. As an update to the initial question, lomiri-app-launch focal_sublime_0.0 reports Started: focal_sublime_0.0 with no error, but like with the desktop shortcut, nothing is launched. Also, occasionally just clicking the app shortcut will fully kill/power off the OS.

@hlbkv said in How to uninstall/remove packages in a Libertine container?: as of Feb. 2025, the methodology in the official documentation doesn't work. I think it hasn't worked since the move to focal. But there is no one yet who has taken it upon themselves to update the documentation on that point.

@kugiigi I do have a 'X11 support' running anytime I load up firefox, not sure if that's a staple of xwayland or xmir.

@CatWithUT That might be it. I don't have dyslexia, I have discalculia. But I don't think there is a font for that! :smiling_face:

@bearbobs You use the tool called clickable. I only rely on that and doesn't really know much about packaging and building stuffs so that's all help I can give Like I said, someone got Supertux working again so perhaps you can do too. I don't have the repo of it though.

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

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.

@irnbru no worries and glad it helped

Hi @sp41nx You can try this method to get root shell in libertine container in this post: https://forums.ubports.com/post/77726

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

@gudaoxuri For dnsmasq-base problem, check this solution https://forums.ubports.com/post/79496 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
