@wdnp2
Hi
Am still trying to install ubports on my bq aquaris with no success
I installed snapd and tried snp but got nowhere
I am definitely in the correct directory here and get the following
patricia@patricia-R59P-R60P-R61P:~$ sudo dpkg -i ubports-installer_0.1.21-beta_amd64.deb
dpkg: error processing archive ubports-installer_0.1.21-beta_amd64.deb (--install):
package architecture (amd64) does not match system (i386)
Errors were encountered while processing:
ubports-installer_0.1.21-beta_amd64.deb
patricia@patricia-R59P-R60P-R61P:~$

Any further comments?
Many thanks

Hi @wdnp2,

The issues you are having is because you are trying to install a 64bit deb package on a 32 bit system.

I am not aware if there are any 32 bit packages floating around somewhere you could try ...

arubislander · 16 Feb 2019, 12:49

I couldn't find any 32bit packages. But maybe you could follow the instructions of how to run from source that are described here?

Or you could try getting access to a 64bit system and trying the regular installer (snap or deb) on there.

@wdnp2 If your hardware is 64 bits compatible, you can use a bootable Ubuntu USB stick: https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu#0

Hi there, I'm trying to install on my Nexus 5. Both from Windows using Ubports-installer and trying to use Ubports-installer on my Rasbperry-Pi with Ubuntu Mate does not work.
Trying from my Windows computer and the Ubports-installer, fastboot and adb works from command line, bot Ubports-installer does not recognize the phone.

Trying to install Ubports-installer under Ubuntu Mate, an error message occurs that I'm using the wrong system architecture (armf vw amd64).

Can anyone help me installing Ubuntu Touch in my Nexus 5 using my Windows computer or mx Raspberry Pi with Ubuntu Mate.

Soe time ago I could use ubuntu-device-flash on my Raspberry PI, but this also seems not to work anymore.

Thanks a lot.

@arubislander Yes it was a 32 bit machine Sorry about that
I get the following on my 64bit machine
william@LaptopL750:~$ sudo apt install ubports-installer_01.21-beta_amd64.deb
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package ubports-installer_01.21-beta_amd64.deb

E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'ubports-installer_01.21-beta_amd64.deb'
Package is on my home directory
Any thoughts?

@wdnp2 you need to download ubports-installer_01.21-beta_amd64.deb from here https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer/releases/tag/0.1.21-beta, and then run sudo dpkg -i ubports-installer_01.21-beta_amd64.deb to install it

@advocatux Many thanks for your advice. I have now managed to install
on the Aquaris. I overlooked the fact that it requires a 64bit OS and I needed
to make sure I was in the correct directory.Once the installer was on my laptop
it worked almost automatically.The device was in developer mode and fastboot
Best Wishes

advocatux · 22 Feb 2019, 17:21

@wdnp2 I'm glad to hear that. Enjoy your new UT device!

@advocatux Have been getting familiar with the Aquaris but find the connection to my yahoomail app is a problem. When it does connect I am now able to see the calendar which was not possible with ubuntu. This is very intermittent and on some occasions I am unable to access my mail at all. Further tests suggest that any app which needs internet connection does not open eg google apps. My wifi looks connected and I use this on other machines frequently without any problems. If this is a hardware malfunction I may as well scrap the machine . Update appear to function in the settings app but I cannot confirm that anything has happened. Do you have any ideas on how to resolve the problem?

wdnp2 · 27 Feb 2019, 20:48

@wdnp2 For your information -- The Aquaris M10 HD is now working well using a EE Osprey 2 mini router on Ubuntu touch OS. It is looking very good.

I have tried again, at a different location from the EE router, using a Sky router type SR 101. The wifi continues to fail to connect! So far I have been unable to resolve this.

Further info Rebooted sky router gets me connected Working well but still cannot print
