Are you executing adb install MobileAssistant_1.apk on your PC? That would explain the pm: command not found.
You have to transfer the apk to the phone and do adb install ... there (assuming you have installed adb on the phone first; which by the output of dpkg is the case).
Basically this: https://forums.ubports.com/post/14834

@ingo thanks for the reply, I have install the apk successed

@mariogrip Excuse me. How can I build this ：http://cdimage.ubports.com/anbox-images/android-armhf-64binder.img ?
I followed this step ： https://github.com/ubports/anbox/blob/xenial/docs/build-android.md and lunch anbox_armv7a_neon-userdebug
Using my built android.img can't work.
I still have a question, why use android-armhf-64binder.img instead of android-armhf-32binder.img

[kuailexs]

@mariogrip Excuse me. Can you share your local anbox project to build android-armhf-64binder.img ?
when i use https://github.com/ubports/anbox to build , There are a few differences：anbox-init.sh 、anboxd 、 netd

[kuailexs]

I want to test some of the applications we rely on. like : qq、weixin、etc.

[kuailexs]

for my building , network cat not work

I case anyone wants to run the Anbox AppManager by tapping on an icon, here is my .desktop file to do that:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Anbox AppManager
Exec=/usr/bin/anbox launch --package=org.anbox.appmgr --component=org.anbox.appmgr.AppViewActivity
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=/home/phablet/.local/share/applications/anbox_logo.png
X-Ubuntu-Touch=true

Save this as /home/phablet/.local/share/applications/anbox_appmgr.desktop

The logo is this one: https://docs.anbox.io/_static/logo.png
I saved it as anbox_logo.png on the phone in /home/phablet/.local/share/applications/

On my OnePlus One test phone, FDroid cannot find the network connection so cannot download its repositories. Has anyone with a OpO gotten it to work?

Have time to test anbox on Nexus5. Have lots of time after career as engineer, but am Newbie on Development testing!

[advocatux]

@Frank great, with your expertise you'll get the hang of it in no time

[A Former User]

@advocatux Thanks man!

[advocatux]

@Frank you're welcome!

[baddea]

[advocatux]

@baddea hi, just in case you don't know it, you can drag&drop an image on this forum

[baddea]

@advocatux

Also how to switch from headphone to speaker sound in ubports ?

[advocatux]

@baddea you can only do it by plugging or unplugging the headphones jack afaik

[arubislander]

@baddea Wow! Kodi produces a display in Anbox. Cool!

[jumpy88]

I think Anbox project is a great idea and I also would like to contribute, but I have only a BQ Aquaris E4.5. Will Anbox be supported also on this device in the future or will it be limited to the currently supported devices?

[advocatux]

@jumpy88 IMO it doesn't make sense to try to run Android on any 1GB RAM device.
