      Hi
      I've been using Ubuntu phone on Nexus 5 for almost 20 months
      Few days ago I've heard about
      http://news.softpedia.com/news/nexus-5-now-a-fully-working-ubuntu-phone-fairphone-2-gets-voice-call-support-511448.shtml
      I got really excited and tried to install Libertine: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Libertine
      After few problems with installing core packages I can download programs like firefox or GIMP, but none of them is really working. They are showing in "Desktop Apps" scope, but when I try to launch any of them, they show an icon for a short time and then close itself.
      Did anybody succesfully used Desktop apps on Nexus 5, and now, how to make it work?
      Sorry for my english

        Can you elaborate on the problems and on how you did install? The more information, the more likely someone can help you.

        I can download programs like firefox or GIMP, but none of them is really working. They are showing in "Desktop Apps" scope, but when I try to launch any of them, they show an icon for a short time and then close itself.

        Do you see any useful logfiles in ~/.cache/upstart/ ?

        Did anybody succesfully used Desktop apps on Nexus 5, and now, how to make it work?

        I have gedit, transmission, gimp, xournal and firefox. All of them launch and are usable. None of them crash in the way you describe.

        If I remember it right, I just installed the scope from the store, and used libertine-container-manager via ssh to create the container and install packages.

          Hi same problem here.

          Installed following steps described https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Libertine via ssh

          Logfiles in ~/.cache/upstart/ from Desktop Apps all with same error :

          (EE) ^M
          Fatal server error:^M
          (EE) Failed to connect to Mir: Failed to connect: not accepted by server^M
          (EE) ^M
          (EE) ^M

          any idea?

          Thanks in advance

            I've also the same problem with exactly the same upstart log. The desktop apps in a libertine container crash on start. I've already filed a bug report. Have you already found a solution?

              Same problem here (as well as at https://forums.ubports.com/topic/262/desktop-apps/69 and at https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/22, for reference).

              Cheers

                I have this issue too. Is there a workaround?
