[007fred50]

Hello All,

i trying to run command "sudo mount -o rw,remount /"

i trying to run command "sudo apt update"
but it says:

failed to fetch http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/xenial/InRelease temporary failure resolving

i trying to install "sudo apt-get isntall waydroid"
but it says:

(Err:1 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports xenil inRelease) (temporary failure resolving ports.ubuntu.com)

Hi!
I've managed to see back my terminal commands, when i downloaded.
The first command should be

sudo mount -o remount,rw /

(you wrote this in the wrong order)
The second

apt update

And the third

apt install waydroid -y

This worked for me, but you can also try the waydroid helper app in the openstore, that has an install feature.
But carefull, don't brick your phone with either solutions

@007fred50 Along with the above it helps to set the screen shut off to never in system settings, battery while doing this.

@007fred50 looking at the actual return messages of your commands, could it rather be a networking, then an installation issue? Can you ping ports.ubuntu.com from the command line of your device?

@007fred50 These are the commands and order to run them

sudo -s
sudo mount -o remount,rw /
apt update
apt install waydroid -y
waydroid init

Which device are you trying? Also you should get help from here https://t.me/waydroidonut

@007fred50 Please read here https://forums.ubports.com/topic/5907/open-ubuntu-touch-to-all-android-applications/115 and don't use sudo-apt it's can break the system/changes get over written. If your device can run Waydroid please consider using the WayDroid helper app from te OpenStore it works well. Device details either in the link above or Telegram group can help.

[007fred50]

@mschmids hello, yes i can ping ports.ubuntu.com

[Lakotaubp]

@007fred50 Then that should work with the WayDroid Helper app https://open-store.io/app/waydroidhelper.aaronhafer. If that works you could remove WayDroid and try the terminal again. At least you would know WayDroid installs using the app.

Hello, I cant intsall Any software in apt

@007fred50 said in Cant install in terminal:

Hello, I cant intsall Any software in apt

That's normal, apt is not supported on UT. Try the Waydroid Helper app from the Open Store instead.

I think it looks like some networking issue...are you able to open a website with morph-browser?

[007fred50]

@luksus it works now

Commands:
sudo mount -o remount,rw /
sudo apt update
sudo apt install waydroid -y
waydroid init

I try thst many times but no Lucky. So really dno what problem it is.

Best regards

@007fred50 PLease see

sudo -s
sudo mount -o remount,rw /
apt update
apt install waydroid -y
waydroid init

There is no sudo apt. Sudo yes and apt yes but not together, and why not try the app the result is the same. At least try the commands without sudo apt.

@lakotaubp Fred's way works as well as yours. The difference is that the sequence of commands you posted first logs in as root, then you do not need sudo for any of the following commands, but it doesn't hurt either (see the second command in your sequence)
@007fred50's sequence of commands does not login as root first, so sudo is required throughout.

[Lakotaubp]

@arubislander I thought going rw avoided the need to use sudo-apt as that was not advised. Or is my brain failing again.

[arubislander]

@lakotaubp apt in general is not advised. sudo in front of a command generally just means 'execute as root'.
sudo -s just 'logs you in as root` beforehand.

[Lakotaubp]

@arubislander Got it.
