Feedback for the Seabass

@mikhael This is looking great! Thank you for putting an effort on this.
I however have problems with the libertine support on my Nexus 5. First of all, it takes like 6 hours creating a container, most likely my connection's fault. And then I get some errors around the part when clickable is being installed. I wasn't able to record the errors though, sorry. Perhaps you can consider other options for the container such as the on used the now unmaintained app OnTheRoad. This one has a compressed prebuilt container so container creation is really fast. I have no idea how complicated to this though
Anyway, I might try creating a libertine container again and see if it'll work.

@kugiigi thank you for the feedback!

Thank you! I'm thinking about such option because creating a container from scratch seems too unstable and requires too much time even on snapdragon 845. I'd better not imagine how long it would take for example on BQ e4.5

And I like the way OnTheRoad solves the problem.

And then I get some errors around the part when clickable is being installed

Hm, I think it might had been broken for some time. v0.11.2 (currently in the store) should've solved container creation issues by upgrading python to v3.6.

@mikhael Oh wow, which UT device has 845?
I'll be installing the beta version and try creating a container again and let you know

mikhael · 12 Dec 2020, 18:15

@kugiigi thank you! It's Poco F1

kugiigi · 13 Dec 2020, 06:46

@mikhael Oh, didnt know UT is already available for that phone. I though fxtec pro1 x is supposed to be the most powerful UT device

I tried creating container again and luckily, it only took less than an hour this time. Maybe the server is happy today However, I still get the error at the end. It says that clickable is not found. Then I tried manually installing clickable in the container via the settings app. After I've done that, building an app just shows a blank build output.

mikhael · 13 Dec 2020, 12:04

@kugiigi thank you very much for trying the build!

Oh, didnt know UT is already available for that phone.

UT works pretty well on F1 aside from a few stability issues, even fingerprint sensor works

I still get the error at the end. It says that clickable is not found.

Hm, I think I need to improve logging here
If you have some time, could you please try "Update build container" button on the Settings page in Seabass? It will run a script to install the required version of "clickable"!

kugiigi · 13 Dec 2020, 12:16

@mikhael I tried that but I get an error.

proot warning: can't chdir("/opt/click......." in the guest rootfs: No such file or directory proot info: default working directory is now "/"

mikhael · 13 Dec 2020, 13:24

@kugiigi hm, that's ok, it's just a warning. Actual script output should follow that line. What's strange is that there is nothing else in the output...

kugiigi · 13 Dec 2020, 14:05

@mikhael Yes, nothing else after that.

@kugiigi said in Feedback for the Seabass:

Then I tried manually installing clickable in the container via the settings app.

Hm, I've just realized that installing clickable using apt-get probably won't work, because Seabass tries to launch clickable using python3.6 while clickable installed with apt relies on python3.5.

It should be possible to install required version with libertine-launch -i seabass2-build python3.6 -m pip install --user --upgrade git+https://gitlab.com/clickable/clickable.git@subcommands-reduced

Thanks everyone for trying the beta!

So far it seems that creating and building projects doesn't work on Nexus 5 or (maybe) on a subset of devices including Nexus 5. Unfortunately, I don't have a Nexus 5 so I can't investigate the issue further.

I can tell though that the issue doesn't depend on architecture (arm64/armhf) or OTA-version, but seems to be more device-specific.
To summarize: at least Nexus 5 seems to be in a list of devices that doesn't support seabass+clickable for now (which is a pity because it's one of a few devices that support connecting external displays). Poco F1 and Xperia X seems to work fine.

So, if you've tried the beta on any device other then Nexus 5 and creating projects from within the Seabass doesn't work, I'd be grateful for any information about your device!

kugiigi · 30 Dec 2020, 14:16

@mikhael Oh that's sad. I tried your command and the build output just stayed blank. Before the command, it just says that clickable wasn't found and environment variable wasn't set.

mikhael · 30 Dec 2020, 16:25

@kugiigi thank you for the feedback!
For some reason Seabass can't execute libertine-launch on Nexus 5, although libertine-launch works fine from Terminal. The problem could be somewhere in between seabass, pyotherside, libertine-launch python script and proot (used by libertine-launch), but unfortunately for now i don't know what exactly goes wrong.
