Now Libre Office runs also without inkscape (sorry, I don't need Inkscape...)

With the command line "libertine-container-manager install-package -p libreoffice -i ubuntu" it works! (First I took the apt install command...) Language-Package and Help-Package runs also!

@1896er But I guess you cant access your sdcard? Do anyone know if theres any plan to get Librecontainer to have some limited access to certain HW that you could set when creating the container?

Br,

Yes, no access to sdcard and also no access to usb-drive on M10 FHD. I have no solution...

Hello, I've created container, and installed libreoffice, firefox, qtdesigner with command : libertine-container-manage install-package -i container-identifier -p package-name

Those apps are shown in scope, but when I try to open them:
Icon with app name shows in middle of the screen
Then black screen for less than second
And then apps shut down without any other output and get back to desktop apps scope.

I am doing something wrong ? Or desktop apps don't work right now for anybody?

@tager18 do you see any useful logs in .cache/upstart/ ? (I think that's the path)

@doniks Thank you for your reply. In every log for desktop application (like application-legacy-container-identifier_firefox_0.0-.log) I have got this:
EE)
Fatal server error:
(EE) Failed to connect to Mir: Failed to connect: not accepted by server
(EE)

@tager18 ok. Sounds to me like you should create a bug report. I don't have any other advice. Good luck, keep us posted.

@tager18 Have exact same issue on my nexus 5. Created container with no issues and installed apps also no issues. Will check logs as suggested later.

Just tried to get libertine on my M 10 and get device unauthorized message. adb shell and sudo adb shell don't work. Dev mode is on. All I can think off is that I need check to unlock the device by OEM unlock.
Is this done via laptop with terminal and device in recovery. Sorry cant recall how just now. Thanks

What exactly did you try and what exactly was the error?

adb shell and sudo adb shell don't work. Dev mode is on. All I can think off is that I need check to unlock the device by OEM unlock.

I am quite certain that oem lock does not relate to adb. Is the M10 unlocked, I mean the Ubuntu Touch lock screen with password or pin? Does the usb cable work to access folders on the phone? Did you try with another cable, usb port, phone, laptop, to rule out other problems. Does adb work when you are in recovery? Does adb device say anything? What happens in the output of dmesg when you plug in the device? Does the output of lsusb differ between the device plugged in / not plugged in?

@doniks Thanks for the help
Yes lock screen off.
Yes cable allows access to folders
Yes tried different ports and cable
Yes other phone used. Nexus 5 to create libertine container and install apps (succeeded).
Yet too try recovery
adb nothing, or on device screen.
The next two I need to look up how to do.
The M 10 is running the latest ubports r2 stable.
adb message device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on your device. No message on device.
Also don't have another laptop. Mine is running Ubuntu 17 32 bit.
Oh and phablet- shell did nothing at all.
Thanks

ok, that's all good.

ok. I assume you mean you did create the libertine container via adb,
right? In that case you know the usb cable and port are ok.

Yet too try recovery

ok. try the adb_usb.ini tip below first

Does adb device say anything? What happens in the output of dmesg when you plug in the device? Does the output of lsusb differ between the device plugged in / not plugged in?

Ok, I wasn't clear enough. Sometimes there is a problem with adb:
https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/advanceduse/adb.html#add-hardware-ids

Follow steps 1, 4, 6, 7 here:
https://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/888

The M 10 is running the latest ubports r2 stable.

ok

adb message device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on your device. No message on device.

I don't understand what you are saying here. Is that the output of a command?!

Also don't have another laptop. Mine is running Ubuntu 17 32 bit.

No need anymore, it seems clear that cable and port are ok.

Oh and phablet- shell did nothing at all.

I think phablet-shell relies on adb, so if adb ain't working phablet-shell won't either.

Thanks

@doniks Thanks will read through the link info later. Sorry about the other bit, when using adb the message “device unauthorized etc...” comes up in the terminal and theres no confirmation dialog on the device.
Thanks for the help

Lakotaubp

Just for info tried my Bq 5. Same problem when running adb shell. deamon starts running on port 5037. Then error: device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on your device.
Legacy device issue? Just going to have a look at info above will see what happens.

error: device unauthorized

I've had this problem once. I think it can have multiple causes, but in my case it disappeared when i switched my pc to Ubuntu 16.04.

Lakotaubp

Solved the problem on m10. Used Linux Mint. Started adb got the dialog box on the m10 to authorize and away we went. Also after installing on the m10 libreoffice opened unlike on the nexus 5 where it shuts back down again. This is not in convergence mode just on the tablet.

Lakotaubp

Have just used Mint again to create a container on my Bq 5. All went well all seems to work fine. Also used Mint to remove and reinstall the container and apps on the nexus 5. No change there they just crash on opening still.

@tager18 Same log results that I got. Did you create a bug report or found away around it at all.
Thanks

Hello. I tried to install firefox following the guide but the app justs open and then closes itself. This is in my N5.

If I want to completely remove the container and recover the disk space on the phone . I just have to run libertine-container-manager destroy right?

I tried to only remove firefox by running libertine-container-manager remove-package firefox but it doesnt work. Of course I am doing something wrong.. but well.

thank you all in advance.

EDIT: ok, sorry for my stupidity. with libertine-container-manager remove-package -p firefox its how to uninstall and app... I will keep clean this for now.
