      I flashed Ubuntu Touch 20.04 onto my OnePlus 6T. Then I ran apt update && apt upgrade. After that, I proceeded with waydroid init. However, when I tried to install an app using waydroid app install someapp, it prompted that "waydroid is stopped". By checking the waydroid log, I saw the error message "/var/lib/waydroid/rootfs: unknown filesystem type 'overlay'". How can I resolve this issue?

        Well, oops. Apt is not really supported on Ubuntu Touch. You may need to reflash.

          Got it, thank you.What about "apt install vim" and "apt install build-essential"?

            Those clearly include apt, so... I wouldn't. Have you looked into Libertine?

              I've heard Libertime isn't very user-friendly. I want to run Metasploit, Nmap, and GCC on my phone, so I was considering installing them directly in Ubuntu Touch's command-line interface... Looks like I'm in for some trouble.😒

                If you are on Telegram, check out the Break Your UT group... it's full of people who like wild experiments just like that!

                Apart from that... yeah, it's a phone, not a PC in your pocket. Ubuntu Touch is a different thing from Ubuntu the PC or laptop OS.

                  @dafeihong you probably want to run those tools in a LXD container. Try searching for LXD on Ubuntu Touch in the forum.

                    Thank you very much. It sounds like the container solution I need. I'll go check its support for these tools.
