Snap Crackle and Pop! Readwrite rootfs is overrated

jezek

@fuseteam Bravo! I haven't tried your scripts yet, but will definitely try. I had this thought, that apt is just a zipped file and I have somewhere seen somewhat to install into home directory from apt, so theoretically some utilities could be installed into home. I have golang installed in home like this (just unpacked and set paths). Vim I couldn't figure out, so I use a neovim standalone executable as vim. But you are a lot further before me. Bravo again and thank you for your crackle. I look forward to toy with it. I've said it twice, I'll say it again. Bravo!

@jezek actually have vim figured out actually so yeahfeel free to toy with crackle :3 the more people toy with it the more we can tests the limits of it xD
to infinity and beyond! Plus Ultra!

Wow, amazing post! I have to admit that 90% of this is way over my head, but I know you understand what you are presenting. I am a physics graduate and this is the first time I have heard of "snap" and "pop". Awesome.
Respect

@dtarrant haha that's surprising, granted i have heard snap, crackle and pop aren't used that often, afaik they are occasionally used, though "sometimes somewhat facetiously" hehe in physics terms it's the 4th, 5th and 6th derivatives of position if i'm counting right

wheeeee sshfs now works /o/

When I first read about Crackle in June, I found a useful introduction page (on github?). Now, I cannot find it anymore. What is its current URL?

@fuseteam great thread and fantastic job on this. I think this very useful, definitely looking forward to install crackle and exploit its potential. Will follow its development

Fuseteam

@sven i haven't written an introduction page yet. i think i'll make one after i've figure out how to make it remove packages it installed in a sane way. the closest to a introduction page that i have is this forum post, feel free to ask me anything about it
the github and gitlab link are as mention in the post

@matteo haha glad to hear, tho install is a bit of a overstatement it's really just a script making use of what is available on UT out of the box

Major limitation #1: seahorse the gnome keyring frontend thingie
attempts to launch seahorse results in the following error:

(process:9315): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gnome.seahorse' is not installed

Trace/breakpoint trap

looks like these schema's are installed in /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas i wonder if this can be controlled somehow with packages as to tell the program where to look for these schemas

i have no publish a ready to use zip file in the release section of the github mirror along with some rudimentary usage instructions

When i first heard of ubuntu touch i was pretty excited to see a OS i could be in control of, as i never like how android worked and such.

like many the idea of using my phone as a "PC" really fascinated me, especially since at the time i had a laptop with 3GB of RAM and smartphone were beginning to get just as much RAM.
you can imagine my disappointment when canonical announced the drop.....

+1 my brother!

sooo what packages already work?

according reports and my own (crude) tests the following packages appear to work:

vim

nmap

htop

mc

curl

tmux

tree

sshfs

NICE!

Thank you for this awesome tool/project and I will keep an eye on it in the future!
