        I'm trying to get Libertine working on the pinetab and having trouble.

        I used the settings app to create a Libertine container called kathy. I then tried to use the settings app to install emacs. It just appears to hang forever.

        So I opened up the terminal to do some exploring. Running:

        libertine-container-manger list
        

        I get xenial not kathy as the container name. Not sure why.

        Then when I try

        libertine-container-manger install package -p emacs
        

        I get the following error:

        /usr/sbin/chroot: cannot change root directory to '/home/phablet/.cache/libertine-container/xenial/rootfs': No such file or directory
        

        /home/phablet/.cache/libertine-container exists, but no directory for xenial is in it. There also isn't a directory called kathy in it either.

        When I created the container it did create a directory
        ~/.local/share/libertine-container/user-data/xenial

        I then tried to create a container from the command line with

        libertine-container-manager create -i wilson
        

        It gives alot of output but the final error is:

        ERROR: create(): Failed to create container: 'destroy_libertine_container() missing 1 required positional argument: 'force'
        

        Any help would be greatly appreciated,
        Kathy

          I have a bit of an update. So I deleted all directories in

          ~/.cache/libertine-container/
          

          and

          ~/.local/share/libertine-container/user-data
          

          I then recreated the container using the settings app.

          It looks like it finally installed

          ~/.cache/libertine-container/xenial/rootfs
          

          However now when I try to install in application I get the following error message:

          Directory 'var/log/apt/' missing
          

          Although this directory does exist.

          Any help would be greatly appreciated.

            Hi Kathy,

            Libertine is not working properly, and it doesn't seem to be a major preoccupation of the UBports developers. I refer you to the subject I launched about this in November: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/5207/libertine-and-desktop-apps-in-ota-14

            I was able to install some desktop apps in Libertine but none of them worked 😞

            I didn't install OTA-15 yet, but I doubt it makes any difference.

              @gdegrez I believe container creation has been working now on the pine devices however, xwayland isn't working yet so GUI apps won't work. Xmir is used on outher UT devices but that's not present in the pine devices since they are using wayland on mir.
