      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.

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

            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?

                @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.

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

                      @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.

                              @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.

                                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.

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

                                        Same here. I was expecting to see some commonly used open source apps in the Open Store for mobile usage (stripped/simplified) such as LibreOffice. I know it is intended for desktop usage, having an app for UT however could make work much more efficient. Like a MS Office365 app can be used on mobile phones perfectly, I hope to see similar options of UT dedicated appeared by LibreOffice soon-ish.

                                          Even open source community prefers coding for systems that are widely used...
                                          It's a pitty but understandable.
                                          For example, there is no firefox for uTouch :crying_face:

                                          But the more people will use it, the more people will ask for their prefered app to be ported, the more devs willing do so.

                                          Anyway, there is no LibreOffice for creating content, but there is document vieawer for reading it : https://open-store.io/app/com.ubuntu.docviewer

                                            The UI of LibreOffice, Firefox or GIMP or any other "legacy apps" represent a huge part of the software.
                                            Porting this kind of app to Ubuntu Touch is an enormous amount of work, sweat and headaches.

                                            Plus the alternate UI has to be maintained to keep up with development of the main product.

                                            If the maintainers (mainly corporations) do not have plans for UT it is unlikely to see a port.
                                            It's too much for a small community or individuals.
