UT Fork request

[arubislander]

@developerbayman OTA-25? But I thought you said you were on Focal? OTA-25 is Xenial.

@arubislander that would be easy .....i know iv installed clickable on device before when i could edit sources.list it worked then .....in fact if pip was present it would be super easy write python code then bundle it with clickable on device .....i would convert my clickable manager utility to python then put it in the ide itself

[developerbayman]

@arubislander my bad lemme double check

[developerbayman]

@developerbayman my bad yeah im still on xenial

[developerbayman]

@arubislander but i guess for what im trying to do does it really matter?

[arubislander]

@developerbayman it might it. Xenial's packages are, as you mentioned, outdated. So are Focal's by now, but at least they are more up to date by 4 years. Also Focal has support for XWayland, while Xenial uses XMir.

But another thought occured to me. Have you considered installing full Ubuntu in a chroot in your home folder? At least in that way you should be able to install any packages you would like. Not sure what it would take to start start GUI apps from inside the chroot, so that would need to be researched.

[developerbayman]

@arubislander thats a really good idea

[developerbayman]

@arubislander dont really need a gui just python also as long as it uses lomri cause i wanna make the ui compatible nativly

[developerbayman]

This python ide im making while it can be used on regular ubuntu im designing it specifically for UT ......and why im upset lol .....lol i know im a drama queen

[arubislander]

@developerbayman I meant running the graphical app you would be developing inside the chroot, from inside the chroot.
