Clickable Dev on Debian struggle

cjengle

I first attempted some app development on my Ubuntu tower and actually ended up with the same roadblock then; I moved over to trying every available installation method, listed for clickable-ut on my Debian laptop, running into various errors, settling on a successful run with pipx; When running "clickable" in my QML package's directory It ends with the following error (running "clickable desktop" works fine):


Cleaning up.

Running command "launch"
Trying to kill the app before starting

Launching app
/bin/bash: lomiri-app-launch: command not found

I've temporarily bricked my Ubuntu tower when I tried install various Lomiri packages, one which augemented the kernel in way my machine doesn't like. But that's my fault, not something I expected to run into though.

Now that I'm back to this error, I did find a package on Debian for "lomiri-app-launch"; and once installed and rebooted, "which" can't find it in "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu". I don't know much about that folder, it shows as executable; but I added it to the path anyway; strangely "which" still can't find it, even after logout. I'm not even sure if it's looking for a package on my primary machine or on Ubuntu Touch but... Oh what a tangled web we weave.

Any help would be appreciated.

I've moved this topic to the right section: App Development

@cjengle lomiri-app-launch is a command on the Ubuntu Touch phone, not the computer.

@ikoz Ah!... So has clickable moved beyond supporting the Nexus 5 I wonder? (It doesn't work with most carriers anymore as I understand (VoLTE or something?). At least that was the case. I was also curious why Liberty containers did not seem to be working out-of-the-box on the Nexus 5.

lomiri-app-launch did not show up in an apt-cache search on my phone. (?)

Or... the installer link I found is out of date?

@cjengle Yes, clickable now supports Ubuntu Touch 20.04 by default, where all command that had ubuntu have been renamed to lomiri. So, as your Nexus 5 is still on the old 16.04 release (there isn't a newer version) the command is ubuntu-app-launch.
You can configure clickable to use 16.04 by changing the manifest.json.

@ikoz Thank you much!
