<![CDATA[Has anyone run UBPorts Installer / adb&fastboot from Ubuntu Touch device?]]>Hello,
If the title question draws a 'Yes' from you, please help me with a little detail. I wonder if these would be quite readily done, or require some amount of, let's say... tinkering.
Either way, I'd be interested.

Background:

I installed UT on a Pixel 3a xl (bonito) by running UBPorts Installer in Linux on an old Macbook Air. What I want is UT on a tablet. I've tried and failed to install on my excellent old Nexus 7 (2013) flo tablet.

I can buy a Lenovo TB-X306F on Android 11 quite reasonably. This would hopefully become my UT tablet, and if it could replace the Macbook Air for some Linux purposes, such as my question suggests, so much the better, as the Air freezes occasionally - not good if it ever interrupted a flashing session.

The Pixel is running /e/os now, but I'm fairly sure I can put UT on it, to maybe perform the Lenovo's UT install. Pixels are so flexible.

I also have Termux and a Debian Linux via VNCViewer on a Samsung tablet, but it seems like a whole lot of tinkering to get beyond very simple adb & fastboot.

Any comments will be welcomed!
Thanks,
KJU

About adb&fastboot from the UT terminal, though, any such barrier there?

There shouldn't be, no. I happened to pull a file from one UT device to another via ADB. So I know that works. In haven't tested fastboot myself, but I see no reason it wouldn't work.

It's as well to rule something out at once, as hit the wall inevitably!

It is down to CPU architecture, the UT installer won't run from an arm device.
