Could I get a step by step guide on how to install Transmission via libertine

@fishfingers44 just FYI, the documentation is at https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/dailyuse/libertine.html

If you click on v: latest (bottom left hand side on that page) you can read the documentation in other languages than English.

Good call @advocatux! I forgot about the excellent documentation we already have.

@advocatux is available as an app in the open-store, @lakotaubp? I'm downloading him immediately... He's far more useful than the likes of Siri and Alexa!

Again, I have no idea if transmission will work in a container, but the above steps should help you to find out.

I have used transmission in the past on UT and I can confirm it works (worked) quite nicely. Transmission also offers a web interface, so you can use it from the touch enabled browser!

@3arn0wl now there's a concept . UBports Ubuntu Touch with @advocatux voice control assistance.

[advocatux]

@lakotaubp lol

[A Former User]

@advocatux Have you been approached by the Mycroft people about doing the voice recordings yet? It makes perfect sense to @Lakotaubp and me!

[advocatux]

@3arn0wl thank you (lol)

Sometime ago I recorded some sentences for the Mozilla's Common Voice project (https://voice.mozilla.org/en) so who knows? Maybe that could be the first step to a successful career as robotic voice

OK guys I did try a while back but I've tried again. I couldn't create a container using the libertine gui so I did via terminal.

Here's what I did:

libertine-container-manager create -i test

This went away and installed and configured a bunch of stuff and took ages.

libertine-container-manager install-package -p transmission-gtk -i test

Now if I do a libertine-container-manager list I get:
test
xenial-4
trans

then if I do

libertine-container-manager list-apps

I get nothing returned

If I attempt this again

libertine-container-manager install-package -p transmission-gtk -i test

I get

libertine-container-manager:175: Error: install_package(): package 'transmission-gtk' is already installed.

Any help guys? Thanks

What happens if you do libertine-container-manager list-apps -i test?

[doniks]

@fishfingers44

Now if I do a libertine-container-manager list I get:
test
xenial-4
trans

one of those three container is the defaul

then if I do

libertine-container-manager list-apps

now you are asking lcm to list the apps in the default containter

I get nothing returned

with the other commands you explicitly specify container "test"

It just goes to a new terminal line.

Huh. That surprises me. Is it an option to remove all three containers and start over with just ONE container?

[FishFingers44]

@doniks

Nope just goes to a new terminal line.

Is there another torrent app in the repo that could be used?

[arubislander]

@fishfingers44
I am sure there are: libertine-container-manager -c 'apt search torrent' should get you going. 'deluge' might be worth a try maybe.

But I am wondering if you would be able to install any packages at all in your container.
