If I try to create an container i get this after it downloaded everthing:
...
I: Extracting passwd...
I: Extracting perl-base...
I: Extracting procps...
I: Extracting sed...
I: Extracting sensible-utils...
I: Extracting sysvinit-utils...
I: Extracting tar...
I: Extracting util-linux...
I: Extracting zlib1g...
I: Installing core packages...
W: Failure trying to run: chroot "/home/phablet/.cache/libertine-container/firefoxcontainer/rootfs" dpkg --force-depends --install /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.31-0ubuntu9_arm64.deb
W: See /home/phablet/.cache/libertine-container/firefoxcontainer/rootfs/debootstrap/debootstrap.log for details (possibly the package /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.31-0ubuntu9_arm64.deb is at fault)
ChrootContainer.py:94: ERROR: create_libertine_container(): Failed to create container
libertine-container-manager:126: ERROR: create(): Failed to create container: 'destroy_libertine_container() missing 1 required positional argument: 'force''
It can be reproduced by just simply creating a new container with the Terminal or with the System Settings.
Still an issue 14.07.2025. Can be forced to work by doing this https://forums.ubports.com/post/73301.
@sven Okay, thanks! I posted the problem on github too, hoping for a patched vendor image – and ordered a Fairphone 4 which should be maintained more intensively.
Could it be that this commit broke anbox support for the FP2?
https://github.com/ubports/anbox/commit/e117ed1af2f47469eba8db5510d1ce547c9a0a94
It adds a change of the device name to lowercase. Which might be ok for most devices but obviously not for the FP2.
Edit: I opened an issue on github about it
https://github.com/ubports/anbox/issues/39
@StandUpMobile All I know is it goes quick when it goes without warning. Sorry but can't help with the other info. You will need someone else for that, but think your assumptions are right.
@domubpkm Have not tried in Libertine, but you should be able to do it with LibreOffice, depending on type of PDF potentially though: open PDF in Draw, select all, copy, open new Writer, paste, save as M*#+@S Word
Yeah, it works!!!! ssh is working and the static IP is set with the nmcli commands I'm not as stupid as I thought,
I figured out that you can't copy or create files or folders (via USB) directly to the User's home( tried to copy the keys via usb), it only works in the Downloads, Documents etc. folders, it would be nice to correct the instructions on docs.ubports
Thanx
@dobey
that makes more sense, I was confused by the alpine package thing. I might have to give it a try, and gtk be damned as I only use CL apps in a container anyways.
@arubislander
OK, thanks alot! So small wonder I can't seem to find any differences!
With a mouse connected it makes sense, I'll check what happens when I play around with the settings. It works even if the device is not connected to an external display.
The mouse is only mention in "small print", and I didn't make the right connection when reading it...
@sojab0on
Audio speakers works generally over bluetooth, but audio calls (2 ways audio flux) is not working.
That is a well known issue.
To help with your problem, I can suggest wired headsets. I use the earplug from the PlayStation 4 controller and I'm satisfied with this solution.
But there are other wired solutions... until this bug is fixed.
But old kernel means old bluetooth support, so I'm not convinced it will be fixed soon, but one can hope.
But maybe there should be a way to uninstall these apps without the tweak tool? Also apps witch disappear from the store are affected.
This way is not intuitiv and not everybody trusts or knows the tweak tool.
For BQ E5 HD :
Stable channel : simple boot.
I tried the last RC channel (66) and it's party time ! I got dual and even triple boot !
On the other hand, the scrolling of the desk is not very fluid. Is that a known problem ?
@jezreel Both your last two post are related to each other and they are related to your first post here https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3930/ubuntu-touch-image-error Please can you keep everything to do with one issue in one place for reasons I have already mentioned in responding to your other post. It will not get answered any quick in fact it may take longer as there is no context.
Could you please add both these issues to your first post and we can try and solve it with all the available info. You can then delete your other posts or we can do it for. Thanks for your understanding.
