<![CDATA[unknown filesystem type 'overlay'.]]>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?

@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.

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.

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.😢

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"?
