The unofficial protonmail apps In Openstore require login each time to check email

Well this is a Webapp, not really an app.
It asks for login because the cookies are lost. There is a way to stayed logged in if you find it secure enough.

You'll have to edit the .desktop file and add --store-session-cookies after Exec=webapp-container

I think you lost him here.
Tell where is the .desktop file could help him.

@jjconstr The easiest way to install Libertine is using System Settings, Libertine. Before you start go to Battery in system settings and turn sleep when idle to never, then start.
Edit: lock when idle not sleep.

@Keneda
It depends on the app, that's the problem :man_shrugging:

I'll take that it's this one: https://open-store.io/app/proton-mail.josele13

So the desktop file should be something like :
.cache/ubuntu-app-launch/desktop/proton-mail.josele13_X.X.X.desktop
With X.X.X being the version number

@Capsia Thanks to all who offered input on this problem. I'll see what I can come up with after some study. I thought since the Libertine download was so long, it would fill my memory, but no, I have over 11 gigs left. Granted the install was interrupted and didnt finish.

@Capsia
Thank you all for your input. Libertine doesn't look right for me. Your explanations have been a help.

@Lakotaubp
That was my problem! UT was sleeping on the job. Thanks for the tip.

@Capsia Lbertine is preinstalled on UT on my Nexus 5. What is the need there?

Lakotaubp

@jjconstr It's not pre-installed. The option is there to install it in System Settings but that is all.

@Lakotaubp Libertine is pre-installed. There are no containers pre-populated though. You must first create a container and then install your chosen legacy apps in it.

Lakotaubp

@dobey That's what I should have put. Yours is a better explanation. Thanks

jjconstr

@dobey Thanks for your reply. I'll keep this in mind, maybe later it will give me access to apps not available elsewhere.

As far as I'm concerned, Libertine is only a tool to make tests (like on the FIREFOX package) because it's too resource consuming for UT. Personally, tends to cause me Lomiri crashes on a classical use of UT. Once the tests are done, I uninstall the container.
Not for a daily use.

jjconstr

@domubpkm Thanks, not for me then. I appreciate your clarification.

@domubpkm This isn't really an apt description, and I think at least some of these issues are resolved for OTA-12 already. Many people are using libertine regularly for legacy apps.

However, libertine is still simply a stopgap solution to allow using legacy apps when needed, with external input devices and monitor (or on phone for the few rare cases where it can actually be somewhat usable there). It is not a secondary means for getting additional native phone apps.

jjconstr

@dobey
Additional apps are what I wanted. Thanks for the information. Honestly, too, using Libertine sounds rather above my skill level.

Also also, Libertine containers don't use any resources when not in use, except storage space. So there is no need to remove them, unless you want to reclaim the storage.

jjconstr

@arubislander that is good to know. I was wondering about it.

domubpkm

@jjconstr In any case, there is nothing damaging to be feared . But the best thing is for everyone to face his own experience with this tool !
